Bravo Piers Morgan!

Piers Morgan's outspoken views on gun control need to be applauded! It's unbelievable that anyone could actually start a petition against him for talking sense.

Even as the world was watching the Newtown funerals, local newspapers carry exhortations from DNR to take your children hunting and shooting. One picture shows a man holding a rifle in one hand and his son's hand in the other off to shoot. Really!

How about forming an organization similar to MADD. Lets call it MAGS - Mothers Against Gun Stupidity. Lets take on the 'unbelievably stupids'!

eBooks from Richland Library

I found out recently that you can login to the Richland County Public Library using your library card at richlandlibrary.com, and download eBooks.
I found out recently that eBooks were available at the Richland County Public Library, and that you could download one for free using your library card.

I found out recently that you could eBooks were available at the Richland County Public Library. I  was delighted and promptly downloaded a book, to read on my iPad using the free Kindle apps. Wow! This was super!

Just like a book that you would check out, the eBook that you have downloaded is available for 3 weeks. You can also save one on your wait list and the library will send you an email when it is available.
Sadly, eBooks are just a fraction of the books at the library so your choice is limited.

But... here are some interesting stats of genres of available eBooks:
Romance 4,218
Mystery and Suspense 1,999
Historical Fiction 1,548
Science Fiction 1,436
Horror and Thrillers 1,026
Classics 390
Short Stories 229
Western 142
Humor 100

So... What do we glean from this? In Richland County, romance reigns supreme and humor is woefully lacking! Just saying...
