Yeah! Audible just downloaded "A Very Stable Genius" to my iphone... Anyone else have it?

Going to go on a five-mile walk with my pup at daylight and listen.

May just be a cathartic listen while the impeachment procedural process is being fought over today.

But when I went online to do so, I discovered that there were already 389 requests before me!
