Gambits from Gail: Most Important Rule of Book Club
http://www.gailanderson.org/2006/07/most-important-rule-of-book-club.html
Tuesday, July 25, 2006. Most Important Rule of Book Club. As far as I have been able to figure out, there are several rules of book club. You have to have already read the book before selecting it. We don't want anyone to judge the book by its cover. Don't select a book that's on the best seller list. Best sellers are easy to pick up and read on your own. Part of the joy of book club is your exposure to books you might not otherwise read. For perhaps many months. Well, unspoken rules like this one exist ...

Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Travels on the Big Island: Helicopter Tour. View Part I—Overview. We signed up for a 10:00am tour ahead of time and hoped for decent weather.

Gambits from Gail: Storm Clouds at Sunset
http://www.gailanderson.org/2011/01/storm-clouds-at-sunset.html
Monday, January 03, 2011. Storm Clouds at Sunset. Today's rain storm cleared right at sunset, painting the sky with vivid colors and great cloud shapes. A painter's brush stroke softens the sky. The sun descends below the clouds . . . And the caramel cliffs withstand another day of relentless surf. The sky looks so beautiful. A pleasing sight at the end of a long day, surely such beauty has to be planned by Someone magnificent. June 9, 2016 at 9:13 AM. That looks lovely. Excellent timing too.

Gambits from Gail: Travels on the Big Island: Lava Viewing
http://www.gailanderson.org/2011/02/travels-on-big-island-lava-viewing.html
Thursday, February 24, 2011. Travels on the Big Island: Lava Viewing. View Part I—Overview. Whetted my appetite. I wanted to see more lava! The second way you can view new lava is to drive from Hilo to the end of Highway 130, where the road is closed from lava flow. What you get to see exactly, no one can say ahead of time. It’s a lava lottery! The viewing area is open from 2:00pm until 10:00pm. People like to stay after dark so they can see lava glowing. At Road's End Highway 130. A fern peeks out.

Gambits from Gail: September 2010
http://www.gailanderson.org/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 05, 2010. Out of State Coffers Feed Proposition 23. In the 2008 presidential election, I was distracted and excited about an Obama victory. The problem, as it turns out, is that out-of-state money helped fund blatantly false ads that scared people into thinking that . . . oh, I don’t know what! That gay marriage would not only undermine heterosexual marriage, but that gay marriage would undermine our society as a whole. Two Texas-based oil companies have mostly financed Prop 23: Valero ...

Gambits from Gail: April 2010
http://www.gailanderson.org/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 02, 2010. Healthcare Reform: Yes We Can. A retired nurse came on the line next. She complained that illegal aliens appeared in large numbers in emergency rooms with sniffles and fevers, looking for medical care. “When are we going to stop providing medical services for illegals? Aren’t we all people? Where is your compassion, woman? As I listened on the phone, I wondered where the humanity had gone. Do we need immigration reform? What’s wrong with the Canadian system? Peterson, Chris L....
