Caveman’s Book Club Selections of the Month

The Road – Cormac McCarthy

The Road tells the story of a father and son warily travelling across post-apocalyptic America, hoping to reach a place of sanctuary. This is a book to read slowly, to savor, not one to speed through to hasten ingestion of the plot. There are events that are exceedingly grim in this, focusing on despair, suicide, cannibalism. Yet the love of the father for his son is palpable and despite the omnipresent gray ash, there remain slivers of hope.

“He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.”

Picture of the Day

In 1992, a man in Texas was sent to death row for murdering his kids by arson. He was executed by lethal injection in 2004. In 2009, through advances in technology, it was found that the fire was likely accidental. According to an expert, “There was no item of evidence that indicated arson.”

When Stacy was on the stand, Jackson grilled her about the “significance” of Willingham’s “very large tattoo of a skull, encircled by some kind of a serpent.”

“It’s just a tattoo,” Stacy responded.

“He just likes skulls and snakes. Is that what you’re saying?”

“No. He just had—he got a tattoo on him.”

Plastic In The Microwave, Is There Really Any Danger To It?

plastic in microwave

The majority of plastics can withstand microwave radiation and won’t break down nor melt. If you are buying commercial products, you might be able to find “microwave safe” symbols on them, which I think look like three squigly lines. Essentially, if you’re buying plastics that look like they were designed for storing food, then they are microwave safe.

Generally, for a plastic to be safe in a microwave it can’t react with the food, leach out components in the food, or decompose. A lot of storage containers such as plastic butter containers, sour cream containers, etc., can either melt or decompose. This also includes water bottles- don’t reheat water bottles if you want to be safe. Also, plastic bags from the grocery store should not be placed in the microwave.
