battletech summer

Well, I'm having an odd summer, I have been painting battletech miniatures for someone other than myself.  While it's been fun it's sad to see them go. It makes me feal like Gollum when my precious leave my house.

 I have also been changing my classical guitar assembly tuning machine heads on one side of my guitar.  I bought real nice looking ones and promptly damaged them.  Then I got a set for ten dollars that don't look as pretty but work great.  Sometimes practical is better than pretty.

A quote from his book "Downsiders"
...a civilization is denied the right to evolve beyond its own embarrassment.

The society hidden underground in this book is imaginative and interesting without being heavily over explained.  I give this book 5 socks out of 5.
