A Note For The Archives

A few weeks ago when we were out in California, I was talking to my brother-in-law about the Bakken. Unbeknownst to me, our 12-year-old granddaughter was taking notes on our conversation, but in a "graphic" way.

She was using the back of a Yahtzee score sheet. Today, when opening up one of the books I had started reading out in California, the drawing fell out. I annotated it to highlight some of the things she noted from our little discussion.

The Book Page 

What incredibly great writing.

Norman Mailer begins the second chapter of his The Naked and the Dead with this: 

At 0400, a few minutes after the false dawn had lapsed, the naval bombardment of Anopopei began.

The first wave probably felt that the naval bombardment had "come to nothing," as they suffered upwards of 90% of casualties.
