I’m reading a Carl Hiaasen book that came out several years ago called “Sick Puppy.”

I’ve read some of this other stuff and occasionally, when I want a fun, snarky read, I’ll pick up one of his books and go to town. I liked “Native Tongue” quite a bit as well.

When I drift off to sleep, nothing rattles me. I have slept through many noisy calamities, tornado like weather, and family members being awake and sick with lights on and making noise enough to wake the dead. My own snoring, which I am told causes window glass vibration throughout the neighborhood, does not wake me.

The Tennessean reports that LAMAR! Alexander is once again promoting his bill to prohibit the EEOC from getting involved in cases where employers discriminate against bilingual people who use both English and their native tongue.

His Protection of English in the Workplace Act comes after a similar bill he sponsored passed the Senate but died in a conference committee last year.
