My car was stolen from out in front of my house. That was how my day ended. The police recovered it - well, most of it. It's missing its trunk, hood, fenders, stereo, and has a jacked up ignition.
Yes, I am glad it was recovered and that it's mostly in one piece. But. I'm still upset and still has a "why me" moment earlier.
I wish I lived some where that I don't have to worry about my car being stolen or double-checking the locks on the doors at night. Since that isn't the case, I will just have to accept that some people are just fuckers who don't understand that they can't have what's not theirs.

This book has stayed with me (a year later). It's an incredible story. The author is a reporter in Africa. He was in Somalia and Rwanda. The stories are harrowing and heartbreaking.Robert Fisk: The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East
I'm only 150 pages in, but it's going to be on my recommonded list for a long time. Everyone should read this book if they want to understand the middle east.Eric Blehm: The Last Season
The true story of a backcountry Ranger in the Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Forests who went missing. I read about it on Powells.com when the author was a guest blogger. Great so far.anderson cooper: Dispatches from the edge

This ended up being beyond good. Thanks for the recommondation, Becky. I loved it. Ann Garrels does a good job of pointing out that we operate under such delusions when it comes to foreign policy.Mark Bowden: Guests of the Ayatollah
It's about the Iran Hostage Crisis in 1979. I barely remember this. This book totally rocks. Bowden really did his homework.Emma Larkin: Finding George Orwell in Burma
This book is as good as I expected it to be. Everyone should read this and 1984. Right Now. Today. I read this as a harbinger of things to come in this country if we don't do something.Lance Armstrong: It's Not About The Bike
I re-read this recently. He's my hero.
