Old Lawyer Friends
~A doctor vacationing on the Riviera met an old lawyer friend and asked him what he was doing there. The lawyer replied, “Remember that lousy real estate I bought? Well, it caught fire, so here I am with the fire insurance proceeds. What are you doing here?”
~The doctor replied, “Remember that lousy real estate I had in Mississippi? Well, the river overflowed, and here I am with the flood insurance proceeds.” The lawyer looked puzzled. “Gee,” he asked, “how did you start the flood?”

Yard Sign
For the first time in our lives my hubbie and I felt passionate enough about the election to actually put up a (McCain/Palin) yard sign...
Neighbors down the street had Obama signs at 2 houses so our next door neighbor and 2 others put up McCain/Palin signs to offset them... lol
All went well for about 2 weeks but during the night last night all the McCain signs were kicked apart and destroyed.
I guess that tells us where the right of free speech is going if the O-man is elected!

Regarding future Author Chat events
Your Eons Book Gallery management team is in the process now of evaluating the event of the past weekend and brainstorming as to how it might be improved...and there are lots of great ideas surfacing. However, I'd like to hear from the patrons and authors as well. But please use this post only for suggestions on how to improve this event in the future.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Honeymoon
~A couple was having a discussion about what to see and do now that they were safely in Florida on their honeymoon.
~Trying to assert himself rite off the bat, he exploded, “If it weren’t for my money, we wouldn’t be here at all!”
~The wife replied, “My dear, if it weren’t for your money, not only would we not be in Florida, we wouldn’t on a honeymoon, nor would there be any “we” in the first place.”

Our trip to the mountains
We had a good time, got a late start, but there was plenty of sunshine. However, it was abundantly clear the "colors" had passed once we started driving out of Elkins & toward the mountains. That aside, I think I got some very pretty photos to share with each of you. Enjoy the trip!!Ruth

Darkness Falls by Kyle Mills
"Erin Neal’s world is thrown into depression and isolation since the death of his girlfriend Jenna Kalin, a dedicated environmentalist. Erin has been living within the secluded protection of the Arizona desert for the past few years, when he is visited by Homeland Security. The unscheduled meeting brings news of a suspicious bacterium that has stopped the production of vital oil wells in Saudi Arabia. Erin is an expert in the bioremediation field, which deals with the use of bacteria to clean up toxic spills.
After studying the bacteria, its ability to devour oil and destructiveness to drilling equipment, seem minor compared to its ability to spread. Soon it is discovered that this bacteria has been found in other oil wells in other regions of the world.
If efforts of containment fail, it will permeate through the world’s petroleum reserves and ultimately end the industrial world. As a result, the energy that provides heat, electricity, food, and all that is necessary for survival will be no longer exist.
However, the more Erin studies this world-changing sludge, the more he comes to the realization that he recognizes its traits. Questions of the past flood Erin’s mind, and "what ifs" plague his heart. Just as a familiar stranger re-enters his life, he not only becomes the target of a killer, but he has also been named as the terrorist who is responsible for the creation that has brought disaster upon the world.
Kyle Mills has the power to make the reader beg for more. He is created a genius thriller that has the potential of becoming a movie screen hit. Very few books keep me reading deep into the wee hours of the morning, but Darkness Falls accomplished this with ease. Mills has developed the word "thriller" to the utmost."
I enjoyed this book.
