On the last trip to the mall I was sitting and eating a steak sandwich. While eating I decided to watch people as they entered and exited the mall. You'd be surprised at how many people use the left door instead of the door on the right. About 80% here. You can learn a lot about people by just watching them. | |

I just finished "Heaven and Hell, my life as an Eagle" Its written by Don Felder, he was one of the original members of the Eagles. If you like the Eagles music, its a good read. |

The Road to Unafraid by Jeff Struecker. He gives his account of the Black Hawk Down ordeal and tells how his faith in God got him through it. Cheating: An Inside Look at the Bad Things Good NASCAR Nextel Cup Racers Do In Pursuit of Speed by Jensen is also a great book. |

Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, if you havent already read it, it's a very easy read and incredibly educational.

This has to be my favorite hobby. It can make you laugh, but can stagger the imagination at times too If you're into firearms, "Book of the rifle", or any Jim Carmichel book is well worth the read. "The complete just Jim" is funny as hell! | |
