    Wait for the next snowstorm, it'll help with some atmosphere.

      In Kansas City, that would mean "maybe next year..." We've had one day of light snow so far. I miss snow...

        We had snow last weekend and right before Halloween. But I figured upstate NY gets it a fair amount more.

            Usually but for some
            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.

                  You are also to blame for my new fascination with his works. I sincerely thank you a gazillion times over.

                    You're welcome a gazillion times over. How many zeroes is that?

                      Ronald Kelly's story style is very addicting. In a different vain, I'm also addicted to Brian James Freeman's works... But they are very different.

                        I feel like answering my own question (to prevent anyone form actually searching for the answer--and getting the headache that I got from the expereince.)

                        Most entries I found say that "Gazillion" is a ficticous number. But one blog entry read (and I paraphrase):

                        From the root "gazzen", Latin for “earthly edge”, or "end of the earth", abbreviated to gaz (literally 28810 ancient Greek miles, being one full revolution of the globe) So how much is a Gazillion?

                        a Gazillion has (28810 x 3) zeros

                        86430 zeroes!

                        here's where I found this little nugget:

                            I don't know about "good" use, but I did pull up another bit of useless trivia to add to my collection
