    Then you should read it again.

    I took physics 25 years ago.

    Tuesday I'm meeting with a physics professor at the local college to review my calculations on a design project. That way when I publish the design I won't have made errors due to stuff I forgot.

    I typically ignore anything Cherry Hill writes; she and her husband appear to pick subjects at random and write books on them. I'm mostly just pissed that I can't pull that off!

    Well, I didn't want to hurt Tom's feelings, but I don't much care for her either.

    Good used copies selling on Amazon for cheaper than Starbucks coffee.

    Can't really get into someone who was "teaching" dressage 20 years ago-and now hooves?

    So you've tried this and it didn't work? What books did you write? I want autographed copies for my library.

    The cover price is $5,000 per volume, with a six month wait per volume. Payment in advance.

    Cherry and Her husband have written books on everything from jumping and dressage to building log cabins. Literally.

    Cool. I'm looking for a dumbed down book on ocillation mechanics and Helmholtz resonators. Have they covered those topics yet?

    He stopped by for coffee and built you a cabin and a nuclear reactor between scones?
    I used to see Cherry at some horse shows when I was messing around in California.

    Some folks just have the knack and desire of empire building.

    Or they just write books about stuff they've messed around with and sell them to people who haven't. You could write a book about your feelings about people who write books . . . not sure if it would be drama or a thriller.

    I've dabbled in a number of things. A lot of folks miss out on that crucial first step; you have to get off your ass and try! I've taught myself to do a lot of things simply by trying. The books Cherry writes are typically for those still on the sofa.

    That's why I recommended Maximum Hoof Power. It covers anatomy for someone who will never go to a wet lab and carve out a coffin bone to see what's inside. It's an "about" book, not a text book or a how-to.
