In the past month I’ve finished, Lone Survivor, Roots and Moby Dick. Lone survivor is the true story of the recent special operations biggest loss. Shares with the reader some insight into the deaths of a large number of Navy Seals and others that attempted the rescue of the only guy to live through the ordeal. Roots is the story of an African tribesman stolen from Africa and forced into slavery. It starts around 1767 and covers to about 1967 or so. It was written by a descendant of that slave. And of course, the all American classic Moby Dick, the story of a whale hunter attempting to hunt and kill the whale that maimed him. All good books, all worth reading.

to impress your friends around the campfire...memorize a poem from Best Tales of the Yukon by Robert W. Service like this one...in basic iambic pentameter

The Men Who Don't Fit In*
Robert W. Service

There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain's crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don't know how to rest. If they just went straight they might go far;
They are strong and brave and true;
But they're always tired of the things that are,
And they want the strange and new.
They say: "Could I find my proper groove,
What a deep mark I would make!"
So they chop and change, and each fresh move
Is only a fresh mistake.
And each forgets, as he strips and runs
With a brilliant, fitful pace,
It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones
Who win in the lifelong race.
And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,
In the glare of the truth at last.
He has failed, he has failed; he has missed his chance;
He has just done things by half.
Life's been a jolly good joke on him,
And now is the time to laugh.
Ha, ha! He is one of the Legion Lost;
He was never meant to win;
He's a rolling stone, and it's bred in the bone;
He's a man who won't fit in.
