To Kindle or not to Kindle? That is the question.
It looks like I’ll be going back into the field when I return from vacation. Honestly, I’ve run out of tasks to keep me busy at the office and I don’t like make-work tasks. I don’t mind handing them out to other people 
, but I hate coming up with things for myself. I don’t create from scratch. I solve problems. Present me with a problem and I’ll find a solution. That isn’t the same things as someone who can come up with problems we didn’t realize we had and find new solutions. I’m not the pie-in-the-sky idea man. I’m more of the grimy fix-it dude.
Anyway, I like books. I love books. This can be a problem. 1) I almost always have one, possibly two, maybe even three reference books in my laptop bag. Carrying around these books gets very heavy. Hard on my body when they are strapped to my back. Hard on my gear. 2) The woman poo-poos my reference book collection. I have a large rolling cart jamb-packed full of books in the office closet. I removed the bar for clothes and rolled in my cart. 3) Airlines charge by the pound. If I don’t take 3 or 4 big books with me, our travel gear would be considerably lighter. 4) Ad-nausuem.
What can I say? The water is warm. The days have been relaxing.
