Love that War Adventures #12. One of my favorite war books. I've been trying to talk a guy out of a high grade copy for quite a while. It is simply stunning. Doesn't look like much of an "adventure" for that guy though...

I know many Forumites look forward to my annual flower and vegetable garden report tha's done in conjunction, but I am behind on my yard work so I'll need to keep it short.

Started the day off with a hardy mowing of the lawn.

 

 

 

Is that a push mower, Ephram?

Why, yes it is! I may get an electric at some point, might've even done it this year if a spate of unexpected expenses hadn't come up. I prefer the exercise but a power mower makes a cleaner cut.

How did I miss this?

Must have been distracted by the 5 Hour Energy and Geico booths.

It came from those fellows from East Boston. You were probably distracted by all the other books they kept pushing at you.

Thanks! You didn't go, did you? Bechara and Snyder were there; thought Albert Moy was supposed to set up but maybe I missed him.

It's a great cover! Overstreet cites it as a graytone, but it's not really. There's no wash, its just the crosshatching of drawing combined with a nice, muted coloring job, the work of Stan Goldberg I assume.

I should have worn a helmet and kept digging through their boxes.

Go for a cordless battery.  My neighbor does my lawn with his riding mower and I just weed whack the parts he doesn't get too.  He also snow blows my 100 yard driveway in the winter.  A real great neighbor.
