My son loves football and he’s far from the most talented player but he works hard and the coaches play him occasionally to reward the hard work. I sit through every game hoping to see him in for a few plays. That’s what parents do for their kidlets.
Even though paying taxes is painful, I’m addicted to the services. Library books, fire and police protection, roads, national security, social security, Medicare, etc. are worth it.
Unless my kids can pay for it they will go to community college for the first two years and then transfer to an in-state public university for the last two years. If they want anything more it’s their responsibility.
If you have one the new electronic readers with the eInk screen then you can read it outside, the more light the better. On the flip side you need a light to read inside. I have a Kindle and rarely get my books from Amazon and those that I do are immediately “disinfected” of the DRM so I won’t lose access to the book should I change devices.
I have read at the beach with my Kindle in a zip lock bag. Battery life is measured in days so I don’t need a backup generator. However, if you are reading on a backlit LCD device you would need a generator because you would have to turn the screen brightness all the way up which uses the battery quickly.
Most of my ebooks are free downloads that I would otherwise have to pay for if I wanted the dead tree version.
