I have longed for a Kindle; even when I didn't really know if I would like it. When Amazon offered the Kindle for PC without charge I was pleased and delighted. Now I have one "free" book which I just downloaded.
Today is Horace's birthday 65 B.C.E.). "His father was a former slave, but by the time Horace came along, he was well-off and had a lot of money to spend on his talented son. He sent him to Rome as a boy, and then to Athens to learn philosophy and literature. What is not to like about Horace? Or Free!

Oh my, I am simply green with envy about your Kindle!
And I also admire your Finnish Ice Lantern!
I believe the Kindle for PC is available for anyone. I must look in my old email to see if the link to it is still lingering there.
The ice lanterns are great fun. As the temps this morning were 3'F I am quite certain that the next two buckets of ice are ready to prepare for candles. I read somewhere that the smaller plastic icecream buckets work well and wouldn't be so heavy to handle.
Thanks for the comments.
