A special message from the Department of Troll Control, come and get it!

Fellow Americans, there comes a time every mans life when we must give up ourselves before we are worthy to recieve. There comes a time in this war on terror when in order to protect liberty, we have to give it up in the mean time for safty. That's right folks. Today, Americans have forsaken the creator for the creation and have decided that they would value our "civil liberties" than protecting western civilization and rich white people from the tender mercies of radical Islamic terrorists. Selfish liberals insist and whine that Bush has no right to spy on Americans and ban certain undesirables from using our airlines. They demand the right to criticize and blaspheeme the name of our supreme commander and cheef George W Bush while forcing multiculturalism down our throats and praising Bill Clinton. We all know however that it's totally Clintons fult for everything bad in america. Now we are at war and we must make a decision. support the safty of America and defeat terrorists, or support civil liberties and give victory to the enemy. Its all because of Bill Clinton and civil liberties that we are in this war so it is only fair that we give it up. no one said life was supposed to be fair you liberal crybabys. Dont give me that rubbish about equality and diversity. WE ARE AT WAR! If your not for Bush and against civil liberties your a terrorist! Your probably even a Communist and should be detained. Therefore fellow Americans we must throw all of our trust and resources behind George W Bush and behind this war with no ifs ands or buts. Be sure to report any and all detractors and freedom supporters to your local military and never question. Bush knows what hes doing and we will win this war once and for all. Thank you and May God bless America.

Where one is raised is not necessarily a hindrance in Alaska. It mostly had to do with common sense and a will to survive. If he has lived there very long, he is probably what they call a "sourdough." Not to worry. Most people who make their livings in the wilds of Alaska ALWAYS check and double check everything before they are satisfied with equipment and supplies.

It is vaguely reminiscent of "Sematary"...in the way only Stephen King can write it.

Yeah, I understand.

Who else would have thought of an entire novel based upon demonic cell phones?

Prude Ranch is a dude ranch where several organizations hold major star parties. These are like SF conventions are for SF people...a chance to get together, talk, spend money, and show off one's gear. The Texas Star Party is a big one. People either camp on the grounds or stay at one of the dude ranch's rooms.

Here's the link for this year's event:

I used to be a member of the JSCAS, and still have a hat with the logo (Johnson Space Center Astronomical Society)

They have a website, too:

Yah...this one is...no...I don't think I'm going to give away the plot. Now that you are semi-snowed in, pick up the book and find a comfy chair...

I know....I'm not really worried.

He's also a great teller of tall tales...
