4. Ignorance is bliss?

I had a look at Caplan's reviews and he seems to have some valid points but I am a firm believer in education. Like anything in life, some of it could be improved.

Robert McCammon has written quite a few books but I hadn't heard of him before. This sounds really good. "On a cold spring morning in 1964, as Cory accompanies his father on his milk route, they see a car plunge into a lake some say is bottomless. A desperate rescue attempt brings Cory's father face-to-face with a vision that will haunt him: a murdered man, naked and beaten, handcuffed to the steering wheel, a copper wire knotted around his neck." I love a good mystery.

Take it easy with the shoveling. Having lived most of my life in snowy climes, I believe shoveling is great exercise. You just don't want to overdo it.

Ahh, the 60s and 70s. Good times, good times.
