I have Riverland in my hands! Figuratively speaking, of course, or typing would be tougher. Not sure when I can dig in, because brain. But I have it!
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I'm currently reading Mary Robinette Kowal's "Ghost Talkers" ... and I bring it up here because early on she introduces a character called Brigadier-General Lethbridge-Stewart.

There are literal tears streaming down my cheeks from suppressing a laughing fit over the scene with Nedry!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
That was comedy GOLD.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I used to use Sir Terry's original of that very first line in the philosophy link as a tagline here, to wit...
