thanks! Ill read that over the holidays.

That's gotta be a _short_ book, wot? bseg

Indeed. Marshal Foch was an interesting charector. He managed to get
about 6 million young Frenchmen killed.

I just finished _Ricochet: Confessions of an NRA Lobbyist_ and _Bran
Mak Morn_ this week. I don't know which was more gory.

ROFLMAO

Its been raining for a week here, the back 40 is either under standing
water, or has 4" of mud on it, so it limits my ability to do some
stuff...Im trying to clean up the shop today...sigh...
