Is this book a combination of nonfiction with fiction? I wrote a short story sci-fi fiction story "Taken". I'm definitely interested in aliens. I helped a friend in Italy investigate some old UFO cases. In doing this I became acquainted with several MUFON members. Very interesting stuff!

To the extent that the Roswell story is true, Alien Affairs retells it faithfully in the first two chapters. From there it steps forward in time and postulates what the big secret was, still punctuated with popular lore concerning how various presidents were or were not involved. When the story arrives at a time only slightly in the future, it plays out on the stage of current events.

You met MUFON members? That makes you a sort of celebrity. That's pretty cool. I wonder how they would view Alien Affairs.(less)

Now, having said that, at this time I'm taking medication that has turned my brain into mush so I think writing would be a waste of good kilobytes. Fortunately, my doctors, who don't look old enough to drive let alone practice medicine, tell me that I should be normal again in a couple of months, so stand by for updates.(less)

A Strange Journey into the Garden

The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World by Michael Pollan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The first remarkable thing about The Botany of Desire is that is written by a man named Pollan. How did he resist changing the spelling to Pollen? That aside, there is a great deal of pollen dusting these pages. Mr. Pollan focuses on four plants: the apple, the tulip, cannabis, and the potato. Who kne Read more of this blog post »
