Thursday miscellanea #203

• Low 50s coming Sunday night.
• My latest at the Tennessee Valley Moms Network is here.
• Aren’t you excited about your team playing Alabama this year?  I am!
• I’m halfway through From a Buick 8, and I’m not sure I’m going to finish it.  I’ve never invoked the Page 80 Rule on page 254, but I just don’t care.  I’ve read this book too many times already.  I’ve defended Stephen King against accusations of excessive reliance on formula before, but they stick this time.
• Speaking of Buick, they have their strongest lineup in years, but the commercials asking us to believe that Peyton Manning and Shaquille O’Neal drive around in $25,000 American cars are a bit much.
• The number of things that only my sister and I remember about Mom is getting large.  That’s both sad and cool.
• I noticed the other day that the Kindle Fire has gone to “Available used from these sellers:” status on Amazon.com.  That’s a sure sign a successor is imminent.
