Tobacco One of the major grocery stores near me pulled a CVS and out of the blue has decided to stop carrying tobacco products. I wonder if this is gonna be a trend. Books kleinbl00, goobster, I got The Earth Abides. I've literally read only the first chapter and I'm afraid to read any more because it was SO GOOD I don't want to be let down by the rest of the book. I might pick up veen's suggested book because it sounds interesting as fuck and I think I'd really like to read some of the accounts in it. I'm also thinking about picking up No Future Without Forgiveness by Desmond Tutu, partially because the guy has been on my mind a lot lately so I might as well read something of his, but more importantly, I kind of get this feeling that there might be something in that book that is relevant to a lot of the feelings and attitudes going on in America right now. Hubski You all rock. It's great to see the LA Meetup went so well.
