I loved Lonesome Dove. Wonderful story with memorable characters and several tense scenes that have stayed with me long after I finished the novel. By the way, I loved Blood Meridian as well

The public will have 45 days to submit a comment on the proposed WOTUS rules once they are officially published in the Federal Register on Thursday. The EPA will then consider whether any comment warrants revisions in the proposed regulations, which would be incorporated into the final version. The Trump administration has not laid out a timeline for putting the new rules into effect.

100%! It was so good! I couldn’t put it down. I am tempted to read the other books in the series simply because I’d love to “spend more time with” the characters, despite the fact that they may be disappointing stories compared to LD. Idk!

I wish July Johnson had grown as a person over the course of the story, after having endured so much. He just kind of…stayed the same. That’s nitpicky though. I loved the story overall.

I am chuckling because I finished reading Lonesome Dove today and came to this board to start a thread about how much I enjoyed it.
Like you, I came to read it after Cormac McCarthy left me thirsty for more post Blood Meridian and Border trilogy. I think they just have two different styles. I think they each accomplished different goals and made me think about different things.

This is so interesting. If it was just a maintenance issue, would they be grounding all of these airplanes?

FAA EXTENDS MD-11 GROUNDING TO DC-10 FAMILY AFTER ENGINE DETACHMENT INCIDENT
The FAA has expanded Emergency AD 2025-23-51—originally issued on November 8, 2025 for all MD-11 and MD-11F aircraft—to now include multiple MD-10 and DC-10 variants, citing shared engine-pylon structures.
This action follows a serious accident in which the left-hand engine and pylon detached during takeoff. The root cause is still under investigation, but the FAA warns the unsafe condition could lead to loss of continued safe flight and landing.
The grounding now covers:
• MD-11 / MD-11F
• MD-10-10F / MD-10-30F
• DC-10-10, -10F, -15, -30, -30F (incl. KC-10A & KDC-10), DC-10-40, DC-10-40F
All affected aircraft are prohibited from further flight until inspections and corrective actions are completed using an FAA-approved method.
