Congratulations Ed and DaveT !!!

I didn't really know about David Drake. Is that a recommendation for Hammer's Slammers?

Wowzer....that is a very clever read aloud...! As to David Drake - he is certainly one of my favorites. I've not read Hammer's Slammers. I like the RCN series, although the first book in the series is difficult for some to get through as he does put down a lot of groundwork...but it grows on you...and now he will have another one coming out very soon.

Jan got me started on David Drake's RCN books ... that's why I call her Adele, on occasion. Adele is the astrogator on board a space ship, and is also she who knows an amazing amount of various odd and assorted details!

Ahhhh... I've always wondered about that... so K2, I guess this means that you don't sing.
Can't believe I've missed this all this time.

Baz, as usual, has thrown a casual statement out there "am planning a day off tomorrow to do a 55 k walk in the hills" that begs for a detailed follow up. A quick Wiki view of 55 K walks around the Sydney area reveals that there are a few of these - and while they might not appeal to all " it's great fun for those who like a real adventure, embrace a challenge, can handle a bit of discomfort & uncertainty, and who want to go trailside for a 3 day adventure in near isolation." And have good hiking boots. I liked the part that also said that you start with a BC - brave companion. Yep, the adventure quotient meter is ringing. I'm sure more will follow...

Now that it's later in the day, I see the Lunies are still in fourth place. Awesome.

Season meters as of 167/365 = 65,397,378 m
