Great picture!!! Now, howcome you were with the weinermobile?I took my nephew to the Henry Ford Museum last summer, and he snapped that shot. Despite all the other primo cars in the museum, I saw the weinermobile, and it just screamed "me!".

Winmag I just don't know what to say to that! I can imagine all the awesome cars they have there.... but gee, I'm glad you found *your* car! :-)

I think it would be more "you" with a twin .50 mounted in a turret at the top of the wiener. At least I hope so... :-)

I think the armored Chevy Suburban with the remotely-operated ma deuce in the pop-up turret would be more practical for me. That would be my number-two dream machine. Number three would be a Hummer with a dummy M-60 on top (this is Michigan, you know). Number four, and the only one remotely possible in my universe, would be a high-end 2006 Vette. Gotta give them a year to debug the C6 platform.

Er, you now have two mails.Just finished answering the first one; I'm going over your next chapter now.
Agree on DeCamp and Fletcher; DeCamp's Conan collaborations with Lin Carter are also among his best stuff IMO.

hehehe... roger that, but I would argue that "it ain't about practical".

To: Fedora
I have avoided "Conan" out of, probably, ignorance. The Pratt-deCamp collaborations are probably the best sword and sorcery out there. Inspired how many dozen imitators?

Snow, snow, beautiful snow... argh... I want spring!!!Weather folks are predicting 6-10" here. DANG! We were hoping the surveyor could come out this week so we can get the ball rolling on this remodel! Oh well, there are lots of things we can be doing before then anyway!

Just about done with my Chapter 8 comments.

Thank goodness, most of this mess is past us. They say, few snow showers tomorrow. I can handle it... maybe.
And we were supposed to get 3-6 but got 1/2 an inch, plus nasty cold rain, instead.
