Since we're supposed to get snow tonight and tomorrow, I am glad that I picked up a couple of books while visiting the Sixth Floor Museum At Dealey Plaza last week.
They were Twenty-Six Seconds by Alexandra Zapruder (a personal history of the Zapruder film) and Assassination and Commemoration by Stephen Fagin (a history of the Sixth Floor Museum). When I bought the Fagin book, I didn't notice that it was autographed by the author, so that was a nice surprise.
Alexandra Zapruder is Abraham Zapruder's granddaughter.
I finished the Fagin book last night and started the Zapruder book today. I am not quite half way though it and already I came away with two observations: News reporters can be boorish idiots and Dan Rather was a jerk even back in 1963. So, while it's snowing, I can curl up and read tomorrow.
Since it'll likely snow all day tomorrow, I headed into Gallup for some grocery shopping. I hadn't driven the Mustang in over a week, so its battery could use a good charge to fight the cold weather.
Hopefully, the snow tomorrow won't be too bad since I have to go get my mail down at the Flying J. A LP record I ordered over a month ago is finally showing up. The last report (this morning) from the USPS said it is en route from Albuquerque.
Tomorrow promises to be a good readin' weather day.
