Book Reading......

Just finished No. 20.

I read H.G. Wells War of the Worlds.
I have been a fan of the older movie version of this book. Not the new Tom Cruise one.

Anyway, the book is quite different from what I remember the movie to be.
In the book the invasion happens strictly within England, while in the movie it is throughout the whole world.
It also takes place in what I assume is an older time frame. I get the feeling that most of the travel is still done by horse and carriage.
The book is told throught the eyes of one man, and his struggles to survive.

I think I would grade it a B/B+

I think the US girl's gymanstics team could take some lessons from the US men's gymnastics team.

Monday night Sam Mikulak performed on the vault final and after his performance he was in 3rd place.
There were two guys after him. The first one bumped him down to 4th and the last one bumped him down to 5th.
Did Sam sit and pout? Heck no. He was standing long the side cheering and applauding the other athletes that did amamzing performances. He went up, hugged, and congratulated them both. Telling them how amazing their vaults were.

Were you watching girls?????

Once again, the US girls gymnasts are pouting.

Little Gabby, the all around champion, blew it big time on the balance beam final.
