Good Reads Elsewhere

Both Peculiar at O & P and Heidi have been producing an inordinate amount of good bloggage lately and you should really read all of it. But a few highlights: here, Peculiar writes an essay on the late Steve Irwin that is far better than my brief commemoration below, going as he does into what high risk pursuits actually are (see also splendid photos above and below this post)

And here he describes a particular ten- book “stockchen” (meme) that I am hereby tagged with, and will post soon. He gives me too much credit– I read fast but therefore must keep a huge pile of books bedside and elsewhere– I am notorious for taking two or three in the CAR– to feed my raging appetite.

As for Heidi– if you have time read it all of course. But my favorites are on Equestrian Chic and — Demolition Derbies!
