WHAT?!? AGAIN?!?
BP Spills 2,100 to 4,200 Gallons of Oil in Arctic Tundra: "This Saturday, BP put another notch in its prodigious polluter belt: A toxic brew of methanol and crude oil spilling across Alaska’s North Slope tundra. Reuters reports: BP said on Monday that a pipeline at its 30,000 barrel per day Lisburne field, which is currently closed for maintenance, ruptured during testing and spilled a mixture [...]"

Revisiting
I spent this weekend traveling to Portland, ME for a wedding. Any travel of any kind requires that I bring and read my copy of My Mortal Enemy, by Willa Cather, one of my particularly favorite authors, as I've mentioned before.
My Mortal enemy is one of her lesser known novellas, at 122 tight pages it reads more like a well crafted longer short story, immensely suited for short plane, bus or train trips. Agreeably readable and enigmatically fathomable it can be entertainingly read on both journeys to and from destinations. Not until recently did I discover the equally fascinating history to the story which makes for more than enough drama on it's own before Cather so deftly took her hand to it.
It's a book I have to hide on my shelves, should I come upon it while dusting I am compelled to open and read it .And is most probably the source of why I've never been fond of carved amethysts.
Find yourself a copy (I prefer the hardcover illustrated edition) and let me know what you think!

Pick your favorite Founding Father!
