Q4) DeWitt Wallace was born: 12th November, 1889. He and his wife, Lila Bell Wallace, founded which US magazine: Readers Digest, Cosmopolitan or Cigar Aficionado?
Q5) Finally … ? The Voyager 1 probe took photos of Saturn as it flew by: on 12th November, 1980. Those photos were the first of Saturn’s what: rings or moons?
* I get the impression the Kindle version’s genuinely free, Olga: it’s just — once the trial period’s up — there’s a monthly subscription for Kindle. Long term, it’s just cheaper to buy the book. We’ll see.
I’m keeping the fingers crossed, as well. Hopefully, given the last results? My sugar levels will be down. Now … if only I can do something with the weight … !
† Hello, Mum! See you later!
‡ That he is, Debbi: Singh seems to cover all sorts of territory. Including one about the Mathematical Secrets of the Simpsons. Which could be an interesting read …
You should see this most recent episode of Strange New Worlds, Debbi! Christina Chong’s outfit makes her look like she’s wrapped in tinfoil!
(Hmmm … I might just have to put Where Eagles Dare on my To Be Watched list …)
Q5) the EU Good luck and fingers crossed, indeed! Kindle now uses ePub files, so one imagines one should be able to read them with any standard eReader (or App for reading ebooks). I don't know if you've ever used Calibre, but apart from allowing you to convert some book and document formats into others, you can also use it to organise your library and to read books, so I guess that might be a longer-term option. I went for one of the monthly walks around Barcelona this morning. One that goes up one of the hills (Montjuïc), so it was a bit tiring, but always good to do.
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.

That movie had me as confused as Clint Eastwood's character. I think that was the idea! Eastwood is the guy we identify with.
ReplyDeleteBut the whole thing relies on key assistance from two women working together! How radical is that for the late 1960s? :)
