Out mowing the yard, I saw a guy go past, slow, turn his motorcycle around, come back. He stopped, asked if it was our bookbox by the sidewalk.

"Hope so, it's in our yard. Yes."

"I got a book out of there, and OMG, I couldn't put it down! It was 'Red Notice', by Bill Browder."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. That's good."

I went inside, found a related book, "Red Mafia", brought it out and gave it to him.

It felt good, to know that some of our efforts are working, you know?

@murodegrizeco This is wonderful!

He was so enthused about the Browder book, and I talked with him a little bit about the story, about the russian hybrid state of oligarchs, vor, and spookies...

He said, "Wow, you know a lot about it."

"No. I don't."

He asked, "Do you work for the State Department?"

"What? Ha ha! No. I don't."
