I really like a lot of the horse racing stuff. "Horsemeat" is a personal favorite, and I love the one about finding a wallet in the crapper. Or the one about the guy with no arms taking a long time to place his bet. Am I correct in understanding though, that all of the "On....." series is just collected from stuff I already have?

oh, boy! I wish I could be there! Too bad, it's a tiny little bit too far from my place, dammit!
Have a great lot of fun David! (and Mary if she be with you on the trip)
p.s.:
@Corey: The "On..."-series contains all new, uncollected material. It is, however, not edited by the editor of 'The Bell Tolls' (David), but by Abel (cirerita).
You're welcome.
Saw this just recently in a bookstore window on my way to work, didn't realize what it was, I might have to stop in tomorrow to take a gander...
The story on pg119 is quite political for Him I thought. As he writes:
"I don't even know how to end one of these things. I guess like this: END."
This bit speaks to the pacifist in me and was probably something he had toyed with for years given his history:
"Here were men who had flown in bombers and had dropped thousands of tons of explosives upon cities and people. Here were killers being honored as heroes...We here in America have imprisoned men for much less, fed them badly, and they were hardly heroes when they came out."
