Funny.
I would think filling my days with marksmanship drills would be a worthy past time. Pop up to the cupola of the bunker, burn up a few mags zotzing zombie heads, that could be a gratifying way to fill my days I suppose.

The second item is incredibly addictive. Reminds me of the old "Hearts of Space" radio program with new age electronic music.
However, if the power has gone out, I do have a few cheap crossword/pencil game books sitting around.

The Tonematrix game is very hypnotic. The tone reminds me of Balinese gamelan music. Easy to get lost in the flow and polyrhythms.
The map game is fun. I do pretty well, it amazes me how many people can't manage the basics, like find China. I get thrown because the names have changed since I learned the map way back when we were still riding dinosaurs and everything was arranged along the lines of USSR versus NATO. I can never keep the East African nations straight.

Edit: HoS HoS is still around!! -Blast, currently in the past [/quote] I've got an XM Radio that I use to listen to HoS (XM 72 - Spa Channel). I first listened to it about 25 years ago when our college radio station began to play it.
