Robert A. Heinlein

Take A ‘Ride’ With Robert A. Heinlein

by

Mark Bryan’s, “The Ride“, could be the cover art for that still undiscovered final Robert A. Heinlein juvenile book. It is, however, safe to say that artist Bryan’s politics and those of author Heinlein’s could be a bit at odds.

Robert A. Heinlein quotes.

“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.”

“Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”

“There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.”

“Progress isn’t made by early risers. It’s made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.”

Zombie Raccoons Terrorizing Ohio

by

The Washington Post sounds the alert for “Zombie Raccoons” in Ohio.  These raccoons act as if they had been taken over by alien creatures right out of Robert A. Heinlein’s 1951 science fiction masterpiece, “The Puppet Masters“.

Coggeshall thought something was wrong with the raccoon, since it was out in broad daylight. What came next confirmed that. As Coggeshall left his garage to try to shoo the animal away, the raccoon stood up on its hind feet and flashed its sharp, white teeth and pink gums. Saliva dripped from its mouth.

Suddenly, it collapsed into a comatose-like state, Coggeshall said. It soon awoke from its lethargy, walked around for a bit, then got back up on its hind feet again.

Get your copy of “The Puppet Masters”, but don’t listen in the dark.
