As of December 1st, the mild weather ended. It was abrupt, but we knew it was coming. The forecast for the next five days is that temperatures will not go above freezing and it will snow. As I type, the ground is getting whiter and whiter...
'Good weather for staying inside and reading and writing.
I've just finished reading Lies My Teacher Told Me and I highly recommend it to all who continue to learn. If you are or were a teacher, do not be put off by the title. This is a book about how history is taught in U.S. schools -- full of legend and nationalism, but short on factual information.
As a student of the current political scene, I realize that it is important to understand the past.
A People's History of the United States is similar in subject matter. I read it several weeks ago and am glad I did.
I've got a stack of books waiting for me, including quite a few on my Kindle. So, time to fire up the heated throw and settle down in my nice soft chair and get started.
