strange reason the snow gods have been unkind to us this year.We almost had to cancel last weekends snowshoe hike with the boy scouts.This weekend is calling for snow showers.We need that next big storm.So if I wait I could wait for a long time.We have had a lot of sub zero weather though.Can't wait to see my heating bill.

I accept the blame and moral responsibility (but not financial) for that, BW. Ron doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I never would have discovered his works if I hadn't gotten a notice from Amazon that King's Blockade Billy was set to be published as trade HC, with the first edition being printed by CD. I went to the website, ordered Midnight Grinding and I was hooked."I'm a vegan. "

a Gazillion has (28810 x 3) zeros
86430 zeroes!
here's where I found this little nugget:
