Actually, I wouldn't call it good writing at all. Meant to put this in the other book thread.

My intent with this thread is to provide a source of good writing, i.e free and linked, so that if you're in the dentist waiting room you don't have to resort to Men's Mag, or some other rag.
Haven’t been very satisfied with my latest reads and the thread is getting long enough that I’m too lazy to check what’s been shared before.
This was a decent one:
Gallop Toward the Sun: Tecumseh and William Henry Harrison's Struggle for the Destiny of a Nation
Edit: dangit now I’m conflating this and the other book thread again.

Maybe it's just late at night, but I don't get this one
It's has high reviews and accolades from many, but clearly I missed it.

Maybe.
But the annual lists are easy to search up and there are only a few I ever read more than once.

One of the best "sporting" books I've ever read was the ebook Mouthful of Feathers (v1). This was one of the better stories in it.

Hunter Thompson a few days before he took his life...
"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun -- for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax -- This won't hurt."

I can’t say anyone would, but it’s so like HST to pen it. He is nothing if not brutally to the point.

I miss honest mom and pop comfort food breakfast, lunch, and dinner eateries. They still somewhat exist in unfranchised structure but the ethos is long gone.

Caffeine is an appetite suppressant. 7 dollar plus tip caffeine is a budget depressant. We have a swarm of Starbucks, 7 Brew, boutique cutesie start ups here at home. My favorite West TX joint is The Buckin' Bean in Clarendon (on 287) about an hour east of Amarillo. A medium mocha latte is 5 bucks &'ll keep ya jittery to the New Mexico state line.
