Lost in Tibet

Just finished up a book today - Lost in TIBET - by Richard Starks and Miriam Murcutt. It is a non-fictional account of 5 WWII airmen who get blown off course on a return flight from supplying the Chinese from an airbase in India. The men are forced into jumping out of the plane and the ensuing story is of their travels to return to their service.
The book is pretty interesting, but i would have liked more details on the terrain and travels through it. The book is not written by one of the airmen, but seems to be well researched. I enjoyed some of the asides, and it has a brief but interesting summary of the history of Tibet. I've seen plenty of the 'Free Tibet' bumper-stickers, but never quite grasped the significance.

On other notes, i went to my first Bass Pro Shops this weekend - the one in Katy, TX. Not too shabby, but it would have been a whole lot more fun if i could have spent some money there. Kinda hard to buy fishing gear when i'd have to take it back on the plane with me (or ship it). I hear there's a Cabella's up in Conroe, so i might have to check that out next time i'm here over a wekend.
Also made it to the Houston Hard Rock Cafe. Pretty cool place, but definitely a place to go with friends. They had the song 'Beverly Hills' by Weezer on - one of many - but it was the first time i'd seen them in a video - not at all what i expected. Love the song though ...
