Finished up the "The Draco Tavern" by Larry Niven. 27 short stories about life with alien tourists from around the galaxy visiting earth. Beings from faraway places coming to experience life on earth. Niven has created beings of many variations from slugs to insectish, carnivorous hunters who only eat fresh kills... typical day at the airport. Some of these stories must have been the inspiration for "Men in Black" and the bar scene in "Star Wars". The stories were written over a period of years and published in various magazines. I got to thinking after going through the first few stories that these would have made a terrific blog. One of these every few days or so. There is a blog I don't visit enough, quite humorous actually, written as Captain Picard of the Starship Enterprise:
Captain Picard's Journal. The writer takes shall I say, takes a few liberties with the character development many of us are familiar with. Keep an eye out for Ensign Britney... darn, you guessed that one! Be sure to immediately scroll to the bottom to pick up the thread in some sort of order - good luck with that.
