    I'm reading '1941'. It's about the year before the Summer of '42. Mostly just Hermie masturbating.

    What did you go with Maris? In all seriousness the new paperwhite is pretty great, battery lasts for days, and doesn't strain the eyes as bad as tablets if she reads in bed

    For strictly reading theres no question

    If I might be of some help, everything in this section of our website is Made in America.

    But you're purchase will go toward helping me leave America, so I guess there's that. However, our business will continue to stay in America and we'll pay American taxes, and we will continue to employ Americans. One of them is an immigrant (my father-in-law) so if that gets your dander up you might reconsider. But he's a legal citizen, so maybe it's ok. *shrug*

    My point being that like buffalo, indians were nomadic. Hence no large cities.

    If you put 5M humans in one place, there will be a city.

    In 1890, America was 60,000,000 strong, but our largest city was only 1,500,000 and that was only because it was the door to America. Aside from a few dozen port cities, we were pretty spread out.

    2000 people near each other make a decent sized small town.

    Repped. A perfect mirror of how MARIS would have responded to this post if it were started by someone else.

    I'm a Luddite, but for me, nothing beats the experience of holding a physical book. I have a Kindle, but it's a shadow of the feeling of holding a real book. I love the idea of carrying a library in my hand, but I also love going to my local bookstore, perusing the shelves and finding a treasure.

    That's what makes it great. I sent everyone a bottle of wine we actually sell.

    I was trying to think of something else to send along. The chocolate idea isn't a bad one.

    The :dunno: means you don't know.

    Agreed. You don't know.

    Campgrounds?

    Need a last-minute gift for the sneaker collector in the family? How about some $4,000 Jordans:

    The shoes are "player exclusives," meaning only a small circle of athletes received them.
    In this case, the shoes were made for the University of Oregon football team. Each player received a pair. They aren't for sale to the general public.
