I was in charge of reconditioning the batteries today, so I just kinda hung around and turned a knob every three hours. Strolled around town, went to the library and looked through their give-a-book-take-a-book shelves and pulled out "The Gunslinger" by Steven King (first of the Dark Tower series), and "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy.

I read a lot and did a little walking, but nothing too great.
