Throwback Thursday

Once upon a time, decades and decades ago, I was a law student living in Waco, Texas.

I was a good student, but I had poor social skills, and I often was innocent about what was going on all around me. For instance, I had no idea that there was a religious community just outside town that would someday be the victim of a Federally orchestrated massacre.

I was interested in constitutional law and the provision in the Texas Constitution against taking from one and granting another.

Eventually, I would write a novel partly inspired by the vibes I got in Waco, Texas, without knowing how real the story I was inventing would turn out to be.

Today is the 25th anniversary of the massacre. Flags are at half mast in all Federal buildings. But it is not to mourn the fallen at Mt. Carmel. It's just a coincidence. It means nothing.

You, too, Can Get Audible Vacuum County

On the 24th of January, an event was held at our Village computer center to help people learn how to download Audible Vacuum County. In preparation  for that event, I made a few videos to explain what Audible is and how to download the free book

My interest in Audible began with F.L. Light, so it was only right that my demonstration of how Audible works began with his translation of the Iliad. But as I thought more about it, I realized that the reason Light preferred to listen to Vacuum County rather than to read it with his eyes was his almost archaic insistence that poetry and literature are best appreciated as oral culture. However, the need for a simple tutorial about how to download a free book became apparent as the event approached.

The above tutorial was available on each computer at the computer center on the day of the event.

After the event was over, I shared the recorded livestream with Bow, so that he did not miss anything.

If you are reading this at home, you, too, can see everything that happened. And you, too, can get a free copy of Vacuum County.
