"Brigadier General Clarence Potter crouched in a muddy trench north of Atlanta. Overhead, U.S. bombers flew through what looked like flak thick enough to walk on. Potter saw smoke coming from a couple of enemy airplanes, but the airplanes went on about the business of pounding the hub of the Confederate States of America flat."

It's here! Settling Accounts: In At The Death just arrived! I got out of work a little early, went my by favorite Vietnamese hair place for a buzz, then cut through the mall for an air-conditioned walk. Saw the book at Borders, and read the first chapter. But I resisted going farther, knowing I had one on order. I never expected it this fast!

I will be tuning out of life for as long as it takes me to read this baby. Carry on!
