Shamefully, I have read...All good stuff, as usual.<br /><br />Shamefully, I have read only 4 of the novels, and that is no junk list. I should do better.<br /><br />The emigration info and chart is fascinating and could be a source of hours of discussion. My wife and I were just discussing the effects of Spain's 27% unemployment on their migration.

The large percentage in the middle can't afford the risk.<br /><br />In my opinion America gains much by the immigrants, rich or poor.<br /><br />Loved Billy Mays, may he rest in peace.Francis Shivonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211824074217323164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-49378501963495813412013-01-26T20:26:58.687-06:002013-01-26T20:26:58.687-06:00I cannot give up the tangible for the virtual.

Fortunately, Amazon.com is starting to think like me and is providing free digital downloads of any CD I buy.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038956427789115440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260056830686404550.post-24593159988453502562013-01-26T19:42:47.148-06:002013-01-26T19:42:47.148-06:00I didn't even try the album quiz -- I've b...I didn't even try the album quiz -- I've been paring down my physical collection for years as I hate rebuying (vinyl -> cassette -> cd -> mp3).<br /><br /><br />THe lorempixel link abstract image link is nice.
