With a good reader, I think Dickens is about the pinnacle of the audiobook. I remember hearing that the books, serialized in newspapers, were meant to be read aloud. If you’re into 19th century classics, there’s a reader named Hootkins (I think), whose Moby Dick is a spellbinding listen, especially for a book many of us weren’t crazy about in school.

Edit: I found it and saved it. I look forward to it.

So I’m going through my garmin rally box to get a new cleat bolt, and I checked out the cleats.
First what is this adjustment on this garmin cleat,
and I have no idea what these O-rings are for or these washers.
Nothing in the manual that I have found about them either.

The washers are spacers

Of course this reminds me of the last ebola outbreak and how certain politicians were so interested in stopping it they proposed killing anyone who contracted it. Slightly different to 2020...

I used to think I had SLI, but the other night I walked under a streetlight that was out, then it turned on. Reverse SLI, I reckon.

The politicians and their henchpeople are going to be very interested in this one too, if it reaches our shores.

My body shape is frustrating to find things that fit me correctly. Wide shoulders, short torso, long arms. I bought a rain jacket several months back. The large was too baggy so I elected to go medium. Off the bike it fits fine, arms just a touch short, on the bike the arms go half way up my for arms, and the back of the jacket doesn’t cover my lower back. The good news, it doesn’t act as a parachute.

Outbreak was ebola correct?
scary thought but the idea behind that movie, fire bombing a town off the face of the Earth, might hold some truth to real life. I was reading a Jack Carr novel recently, in the prologue he dives into the idea for his books, and the evidence behind it. The book was a fiction terrorist attack using biological weapons, the Government response was written as factual as he could make it. Basically, the plan in place is to wipe the infected cities off the face of the Earth to limit the spread.

Maybe I'm confusing stories but I remember one where a doctor or a team went to Africa and visited villages that were wiped out by Ebola? One village where an elder or leader had died and the people came to pay their respects and embraced the body, thus picking up the virus.
What I recall about The Hot Zone is the virus wasn't the same as they thought it might be and didn't cause a lot of deaths.
