And Where is Baxley???

I was born in NC but raised in the Deep South - Baxley, GA to be exact. It's ok if you've never heard of the place. You and 99.9% of the rest of the world. It's a pretty boring place but I did learn a lot of things that I wouldn't have learned living in the suburbs or the city - roosters don't just crow in the mornings, ghosts are real, news really does travel faster in small towns, neither movie theaters nor cable tv are necessities in life, fried chicken tastes better when fried in lard.

The Book I'm Reading

Yes, I'm still reading that book, Against the Gods: The Story of Risk. The reason is because I haven't actually looked at it in about a month. There's been no time. But, I still really would recommend this book to others. The story is interesting about how statistics and probability were created/discovered. I will one day soon finish it and there will be a new book to the right. I leave for Seattle in a few weeks so maybe I'll finish it on that trip.
