As I've Been Saying . . . .
Is Daylight Savings Time Pointless [Short Video]: Long story short: Yes.
I've Been Saying this for Years
Time to Move On? The Case Against Daylight Saving Time: Changing our clocks twice a year doesn't save us energy or money, experts say. Hat tip to Jeff Meyerson.
PaperBack
Jonathan Craig, Junkie!, Falcon Books, 1952.
As those of you who are addicted to accumulating books will understand (there are some others like me out there, I hope), no matter how many books you have, there's always one more you feel you need, one elusive title that you think you just have to own. Here's one that's been on my list for many years, and when I ran across a copy of it, I couldn't resist. I had it in a reprint version, but that's just not the same. This copy's pretty ragged, but that doesn't matter. It's probably the best one I'll ever run across, and now it's right there on the shelf with my favorite paperbacks. It looks pretty good, I think.

Brian Carman, R. I. P.
The Orange County Register: You probably don’t know Brian Carman’s name today, if ever you did. But odds are good that you do know his most famous riff, that rapid-fire burst of sound that flew from Carman’s fingers and the strings of his guitar, turning the instrumental “Pipeline” into one of the most legendary hits of surf music and transforming the Chantays from five Santa Ana teenagers barely old enough to shave into the brightest stars of pop music for a brief period as 1963 arrived.
Carman, who was 69, died Sunday, said Bob Spickard, who co-wrote the “Pipeline” with Carman and continued to play with him in the Chantays off and on until a year or two ago.

I Want to Believe!
And since it's in the Daily Mail, you know it must be true!

The Two Mississippi Rivers by Joe Helgerson
The Two Mississippi Rivers by Joe Helgerson | Trace Evidence: In addition to his very entertaining stories featuring Sheriff Huck Finn, Joe Helgerson is the author of two clever YA books, Horns & Wrinkles (2006) and Crows & Cards (2009), both published by Houghton Mifflin Books for Children. The latter was named a Smithsonian Notable Book. The Sheriff Huck stories, which he talks about here, go back to June 2002, but he published two stories with us [AHMM] in 1983, beginning with “Eighty-Seven Miles of Smoke and Mist” (April 1983).
Albert Maysles, R. I. P.

We saw things through his lens that we will never forget. He was a filmmaker up until the end. We loved him and will miss him terribly.”
