Me, I cannot imagine a more horrible job than coal mining. I have a serious fear of enclosed spaces, and I can tell you, I would not crawl down into one of those holes.

One of 13 lived.

Acidman talks about his coal mining roots from time to time, and I’m sure he knows like no other what it’s like to sit at a minehead and wait for news from down the hole.

Good lord.

First and most appropriate, Adam at Sophistipundit reviews Who Let the Blogs Out, an interesting look at blogging and the wherefores. Adam also brings us “The Skeptical environmentalist” by Bjorn Lomborg, which I found quite interesting myself. Early Riser counsels us to First: break all the rules

Deputyheadmistress’ daughter “The head Girl” at the Common Room brings us ‘The twenty four days before christmas’ and ‘seeing salvation’ in her post “Two different, but marvelous books” both of which look like excellent reads.

Following the religious theme, A Random Yak at Random Yak (Love the blog name, btw) reviews the brief and tasty autobiography of C.S. Lewis, “Jack’s Life” If you’re a lewis fan, you should read this.

At Multiple Mentality, Josh Cohen reviews (among other books) “The Big U”. The line that got me was

“Casimir Radon, a junior in his late twenties, just wants to engage in intellectual pursuits. He is a physics geek (sometimes genius), and his ultimate hopes are to build a mass driver (railgun), avenge his cat, and get it on with Sarah.”

It’s on my reading list now.

That’s the ones for December. There are other older ones. Anyone else who wants to host this, please drop a line to Digestedreaders@gmail.com

I’ve done some housekeeping at Chez Og, and i have discovered that I now have more camo/hunting/upland game clothing than regular clothing.
