A Young People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn
4.1 rating on Goodread |
While I was waiting for the flat to be fixed I notice a couple of books in the office. Don't often see books in auto repair joints, or maybe I just never noticed. Anyway, I'm always looking for something new to read, hoping I will find something that will grab me. So I take a couple of pics. It's quicker and easier than writing it down and the camera doesn't forget.

| Cheap Amazon Tire Pressure Gauge |
When we got back to the house we checked the pressure in all the tires including the emergency spare. That spare needs to be inflated to 60 PSI and it was only about half that. Start pumping it up, stop and check the pressure and the gauge only goes to 50 PSI. What is this? When did we start cheaping out on tire pressure gauges? I used to have a couple of decent gauges but they got old and quit working, so I bought a new one off of Amazon. It was only $8 for a pair of them. Guess I got what I deserved.

Howard Zinn's books are garbage, by a garbage author. His "People's History of the United States" is used as a history textbook by some high schools, much to the detriment of the students. He's an America-hating Communist, and his books are all "America bad, founders were evil" drivel.
A portable air pump, a plug kit,a bottle of slime, roll of paper towels, all fit in the well with the spare in the Rav Four. Slime sells a kit,,pump and Slime. A plug kit available almost anywhere. A pair of dikes with the leading end thinned on a grinder for gettin whatever out. Or slime the MOFO and get it to someone.
I once came across the Zinn book in a book sale. I read it for half an hour. My hope was that it would be better than the usual Ra-Ra rubbish passed off as American History. But his Marxist rubbish turned out to be even worse than Ra-Ra rubbish.
Someone, at some time, must surely have written an intellectually serious history of the USA. Any suggestions?
