A woman in our community bears a remarkable resemblance to Sarah Palin, especially when she dons a wig and glasses. She elicited many startled glances at the party. I'm on the left . . . . .

Say it ain't so, Steve!

When asked about the new Amazon Kindle product, Steve Jobs CEO of Apple computer had this to say:“It doesn’t matter how good or bad the product is, the fact is that people don’t read anymore,” he said. “Forty percent of the people in the U.S. read one book or less last year. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don’t read anymore.”
I don't know where Jobs got his statistics, but as one of the 60% who do read a lot, I don't think reading will ever go out of style. Has he been to his local library lately? Ours is a hub of activity. Has he been on a plane lately? Most passengers will pull out a book to read during the flight. Just for the heck of it, I'd like to know what his favorite books are, as I'm willing to bet he's a reader, too. Along with at least 60% of the rest of the USA.
