When will people learn, the only people who should be in helicopters should not be paying for it, they should be paid or drafted.

Author Jerry Pournelle has died. On Sept. 8th.

The only book of his I read was Footfall, written with Larry Niven, as were several other novels.

I was in a freedom-challenged period of my life.

That novel was a great escape.

Loved that novel. Intertwining stories and easter eggs for sci-fi enthusiasts. Everyone should know who the scientist with a head like a bullet and a razor mustache was.

Sorry to hear about Pournelle's passing.
