During the first week of January I started to have a very sore back.\u00a0 It was the area at the top of my buttocks and spread across from right to left.\u00a0 On one particular day, I also experienced a very sore right testicle.\u00a0 I know, too much information, but if it hadn&#8217;t been for that soreness in my testicle, I wouldn&#8217;t have known what was wrong.\u00a0 You see, I had this about ten or more years ago.\u00a0 It was the testicle thing that sent me to the Doctor at that time and I had to go on a ten day treatment of antibiotics.\u00a0 So, on January 7th I went to the hospital in Picton and described my symptoms and the on-call Doctor diagnosed me with Epididymitis.\u00a0 I believe this is what I had way back when but I didn&#8217;t remember the term.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s a description of symptoms:\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><em><span class=\"ILfuVd\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"hgKElc\">It is <b>most commonly caused by a bacterial infection but can also result from a virus<\/b>.

A. Fair.<\/em><\/h4>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 15pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif';\">I started commenting on the Cool and Lam series in a blahg from 2021, called <a href=\"http:\/\/falseducks.com\/theblahg\/?p=5048\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THIS IS 100, PART ONE<\/a>.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s what I said then when I talked about books I had recently read:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Instead, I&#8217;ll mention two that I recently read, &#8220;The Bigger They Come&#8221; and &#8220;The Knife Slipped&#8221; by Erle Stanley Gardner writing as A.A. Fair.\u00a0 Gardner is famous for creating and writing about Perry Mason.\u00a0 Cool and Lam is a fictional American private detective firm run by Bertha Cool with Donald Lam as her main operative.\u00a0 Gardner published 29 books in the series from 1939 to 1970.\u00a0 I first became interested in the Cool and Lam series due to my interest in Frank Sinatra.\u00a0 The second book in the series &#8220;Turn On the Heat&#8221; was adapted for the June 23, 1946, broadcast of Hour of Mystery with Frank Sinatra as the first actor to portray Donald Lam.\u00a0 Unfortunately that broadcast does not appear to circulate.\u00a0 I always thought about reading the book from the series, &#8220;Turn On The Heat&#8221;, that the broadcast was based on.\u00a0 That meant starting with the first book &#8220;The Bigger They Come.&#8221;\u00a0 I thoroughly enjoyed it.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the late 1930s into the 1940s gritty detective novel.<\/h4>\n<h4>\u00a0\u00a0 I was then going to turn my attention to &#8220;Turn On The Heat&#8221; which was the second published book in the series.\u00a0 I discovered, however, that this wasn&#8217;t the second book written in the series because Gardner had written &#8220;The Knife Slipped&#8221; after &#8220;The Bigger They Come.&#8221;\u00a0 Here&#8217;s what Wikipedia says about it:\u00a0<em> &#8220;Originally written to be the second book in the Cool and Lam series but rejected by Gardner&#8217;s publisher, The Knife Slipped was found among Gardner&#8217;s papers and published for the first time in 2016.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em> Hard Case Crime published &#8220;The Knife Slipped&#8221; and after reading it, and enjoying it even more than &#8220;The Bigger They Come&#8221;, I was drawn back in again to that gritty thirties Los Angeles noir.\u00a0 Hard Case Crime also republished &#8220;Turn On The Heat&#8221; and that&#8217;s the copy I have to read next.<\/h4>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 15pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Arial Rounded MT Bold','sans-serif';\">Well, my goal was to read all thirty in the series.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/pictures.abebooks.com\/isbn\/9780671755850-us.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/pictures.abebooks.com\/isbn\/9780671755850-us.jpg\" alt=\"All Grass Isn't Green\" width=\"218\" height=\"361\" \/><\/a>When I recorded the Video Ramble I mentioned I had still to read four more:\u00a0 &#8220;Cut Thin To Win (1965), Widows Wear Weeds (1966), Traps Need Fresh Bait (1967), and &#8220;All Grass Isn&#8217;t Green (1970).\u00a0 Well, I&#8217;m happy to say that since the Video Ramble I have read three of those and now only have &#8220;All Grass Isn&#8217;t Green&#8221;
