  Life, With A History Of Smuggling. 
  ISLAMORADA, Florida, With Keys Don -- "Marijuana is a people business," explained Don, a long-retired pioneer of the marijuana smuggling industry, who flew single-engine planes back and forth to Colombia, carrying up to a million dollars-worth of pot per load, in today's money. 
  He brought marijuana through the Florida Keys, an area with thousands of places to hide, that's been a haven for smugglers since the times of the Spanish Main up until sometime late last night. Later he and his friends used boats and vehicles and expanded connections throughout the states, Mexico and the Philippines, even working with Federal Agents. 
  "I'll tell you about the life of a smuggler," said Don. "When marijuana is legal, we will be like the rum runners during prohibition and people might be interested in how it was in Smugglers' Times.

  My Secret Life Vol 8 Chapter 2

  My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
  
  Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
  
  Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
  
  The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
  
  The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

  A timely and eclectic collection from one of the foremost thinkers of our time, "a powerful, penetrating and immensely knowledgeable writer" (The Guardian). 
   
   
   
  The essays in this collection came about during the unhurried months when one who had traveled incessantly was obliged to stay still, even as events flared on all sides in a world that never stops moving. Wade Davis brings his unique cultural perspective to such varied topics as the demonization of coca, the sacred plant of the Inca; the Great War and the birth of modernity; the British conquest of Everest; the endless conflict in the Middle East; reaching beyond climate fear and trepidation; on the meaning of the sacred. His essay, "The Unraveling of America," first published in Rolling Stone, attracted five million readers and generated 362 million social media impressions. Media interest in the story was sustained over many weeks, with interview requests coming in from twenty-three countries. 
   
   
   
  The anthropological lens, as Davis demonstrates, reveals what lies beneath the surface of things, allowing us to see, and to seek, the wisdom of the middle way, a perspective of promise and hope that all of the essays in this collection aspire to convey.

  Facing Inward is a memoir that weaves together stories of resilience, love, and self-discovery. At the heart of it is a candid reflection on a life shaped by chronic illness, Southern family dynamics, and an unshakable sense of feeling different. 
  Moving through pivotal phases of her life—childhood, a life-saving kidney transplant, and the Covid-19 pandemic—Melissa opens a window into her experiences as a lesbian, media personality, and someone who had to constantly reckon with a body that never quite cooperated. Each chapter offers glimpses into the complexities of her identity, from personal relationships to her rise in the media world, peppered with celebrity encounters and moments of vulnerability. 
  This memoir is for anyone who's ever felt out of place in their own body or wondered how to find joy amid struggle. With wit and honesty, it tells the story of a woman who refuses to let her differences define her, embracing them instead as part of the richness of her unique journey.
