  1. Mr Bates vs the Post Office

     

    Watching E01 now, and what I don't understand is why they didn't sit down with a pad of paper and keep track of what they sold and what they took in.

     

    The first time the program said I owed "X" instead of "Y" I'd have the pad of paper out. 

     

    And the second time I'd be on the phone to the PO to get them to fix it.

     

    Don't want to spoil the story, so I'll wait til I'm finished to go see if I can find out why not. (Or perhaps they did, and the PO/courts simply ignored it.)

     

    Anyway, very good so far: Jones is spot on as always, as is the female postmistress who pled guilty.

    I went with "The Killing Of Crazy Horse" byThomas Powers

     

    It's about the interactions between the various tribal groupings within the Sioux nation as they decided to accept American patronage, and how that led to the death of CH.

     

    Good book on the subject of why, how and with what consequences the Sioux surrendered their indepenedence.
