Woman wears Muslim headscarf in uniform. Cites religious freedom.

Just a thought... I have to take down my "Have a blessed day" sign from my office cubicle at my government job because it inappropriately exposes others to my religious beliefs, implies a government establishment of religion and conflicts with the mythical "separation of church and state" proviso.  What if those same people are forced to be exposed to her Muslim faith by having to interact with her in her head covering, in uniform, in the execution of her government duties?  Where is the Freedom From Religion pack-o-wolves?  Why are they not petitioning the DOD to have this woman's religious beliefs driven underground?

                    

I am not a consistent blogger.  And when I do post, I often have nothing to say that is of interest to anyone but me.  If that's the case, I should just keep my private journal and abandon blogging altogether.  I think that notion has merit but the great thing about freedom of speech is that it's protected and preserved, regardless of whether or not it's interesting.  I am free to be boring.

My Favorite Authors Based on Their Books I've Read

   I have kept a logbook of every book I’ve read going back as long as I can remember.  It totals 401 so far.  Transferred it to an Excel spreadsheet several years ago and can manipulate the data.  Sorting by author name, I like, in order of number of books I’ve read by the author:

Stephen King: 60
Arthur C. Clarke: 16
Clive Barker: 13
Frank Herbert: 10
Michael Creighton: 8

   To be sure, there are books I’m crazy about that are the only book written by that author.  Or, as in the case of Tom Clancy, I like a few of his books very much but did not like the rest.  Chuck Palahniuk falls into this category, as does William F. Nolan.  Keith Laumer’s “Bolo” series rates high as well.
   Many will say that I should have read an equal number of Dean Koontz if I like Stephen King.  I say they are not similar writers.  King appeals to me consistently and I am one of his “Constant Readers” whereas Koontz is hit and miss so I give much of his work a pass.
   Also; I read the Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft in one huge bite so they are favorites but rate only one book each.
   And the always favorite “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee stands alone.
