Actually I'm more interested in your first comment, if Colonel Potter was a distant relative of the boy wizard Harry; that might be kind of fun. And of course, would either be kindred to mean old Banker Potter, of Pottersville Falls fame? Sorry, my mind loves to wander.
I had a fascinating read today during my lunch at Borders. I read part of DMZ Volume 1. It's a speculative fiction about a near-future in which the US has become overextended abroad militarily. The population (beginning in Montana, natch) becomes so war-weary and pressured that things boil over into a civil war which rages all the way across the US to New York, where a cease fire occurs leaving the US forces on Long Island and the "Free States" holding Jersey. After a perfunctory four-hour long evacuation before the initial attack(s), Manhattan itself becomes the "DMZ" and is mostly cut off from the rest of the world.
Anyway, it made for a good read over my cup of soup, asiago pretzel, and large no water ice-brew coffee.
Not even remotely why I started to post here. I was reminded tonight about a hugely addictive game called BOOMSHINE. It is the antithesis of the technological, narrative wonder I mentioned yesterday. It is a simple, addictive brain exercise of pattern recognition. Have fun. It's free, online, and FYI only something less than 5% of those who play are able finish level 12.
