A Night in the Man Cave

   The wife's away tonight. I have some date filled cookies from Jerry's
   in Edina. I'm relaxing in my favorite chair, laptop in my lap, HDTV at
   my total command. Watched NASCAR qualifying, now watching Dirty Harry
   - The Dead Pool, one of my guilty pleasures. It's amazing how the bad
   guys can squeeze off 500 rounds of machine gun fire and hit nobody
   while Callahan never wastes a bullet. He should have shot that little
   car bomb, too.
   In scanning the MOB sites and elsewhere, Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged is
   showing up repeatedly. [1]There's been a resurgence in sales of late.
   I read this around 1980 in my Libertarian days, when I began to come
   of age politically. Just as the Carter Administration spawned -
   demanded - I smell the coffee, maybe the Obama Administration is
   repeating the cycle.
   So, up to the bookcase and sure enough, there's my old Signet
   paperback copy I bought at Shinder's downtown almost 30 years ago.
   Back to my 80's I go.
