I followed a link here from another blog a couple of days ago, and I've finally caught up. <BR/><BR/>Fascinating.<BR/><BR/>What's terrifying is how closely the "fiction" is to what is really happening. Here in the extreme Northeast, heat IS an issue, NOW! and there are already reports of hoarding things like wood pellets, which are in demand, and which suppliers are having a trouble keeping in stock. Some suppliers have even put limits on the amount people can take at a time. Rationing. Wood pellets.<BR/><BR/>I am not even kidding, but as I sit here writing this, after having spent the last few hours reading your story, it's almost like I'm playing along with the fantasy. I wish I were. Today, I went to a local unfinished furniture store, and they're selling wood pellet stoves ... at the furniture store. It was almost surreal.<BR/><BR/>Of course some of the things - like the end of Wal(*gag*)Mart - won't be sad to me. I think I'll save some of our homemade strawberry wine, and the day that happens, I'll have a celebration ;).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have enjoyed reading your story, and I guess, now, I'm caught up.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-43162456856322906312008-10-02T10:09:00.000-04:002008-10-02T10:09:00.000-04:00I live in Coeur d'Alene, Mrs. M.

I will fit right in!<BR/><BR/>I lived in a little town called Kuna. At least back then it WAS a little town. I did a Google Map thing a bit ago and now I barely recognize the place. When I lived there, if you blinked your eyes while passing through the center of town, you missed it.<BR/><BR/>I loved Nudge's last rant on CFN.

Solid gold, buddy!<BR/><BR/>Hi Mrs. M, now I can give you a proper welcome to the free-range insane asylum! I'll send Nudge a word of thanks for sending you along… and one to you for the nice comment about the story. I really wanted to join SCA back in high school, but I just couldn't get the logistics (i.e. rides and such) down. Where in Idaho? One of the other regular readers lives there now.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-36387063877591786892008-09-30T19:51:00.000-04:002008-09-30T19:51:00.000-04:00Hey Far! ha! ha! heh!

Good thing the Farf-Dad got the wedding couple, Kim and Christina, a couple boxes of condoms for their wedding present! (How thoughtful! ha!) You wouldn't want the junta accusing you of running a puppy mill! ha! Btw, Far, I've just got to ask, were they ribbed or "glow in the dark"? ha! heh!<BR/><BR/>Gee, I hope DD's studio is'nt right next to Mrs. Fetched's room, as she won't get a wink of sleep for a week!! Perhaps you should have gotten her some ear plugs, as a side gift... or you might find yourself residing in one of the chicken houses! ha! ha!<BR/><BR/>Heh! heh!

I was put on to your FARFuture stories by Nudge. I had a REALLY hard time tearing myself away from the story. Now it will be easier keeping up.<BR/><BR/>I agree with woolysheep. Look up SCA - Society for Creative Anachronisms. You should be able to find a lot of helpful ideas to add to your story. I used to be a member when I lived in Idaho<BR/><BR/>Hope all is well at Planet Georgia!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-35500310874623922322008-09-30T06:24:00.000-04:002008-09-30T06:24:00.000-04:00Heh! ha!

That makes it easy to do a presentation to a room full of co-workers.<BR/><BR/>Beth, of *course* I like ya! I'm glad you got caught up with the story; the next couple of months are going to be interesting (at least I hope so). I think a few people dropped off when Nancy went dormant for the summer, and they're slowly starting to trickle back. But there have been a few others like Woolysheep who have found their way here, so the more the merrier. I love getting comments… think of it as a coin substitute.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-24287248618932068572008-09-29T23:10:00.000-04:002008-09-29T23:10:00.000-04:00Obviously WAY too long, Farf!

It is a building that can go up even when "traditional" materials are at a premium. Google SCA and the viking answerlady if you are interested.<BR/><BR/>I spent all day reading the whole thing.

Thanks...from your keyboard to the Publishing Gods ears...<BR/><BR/>Now I'm caught up, I can read them as they roll off the presses...although it was fun catching up at one sitting. And picturing FAR Manor as you went.<BR/><BR/>Although I feel like a bunch of seasons just flew past...is it really September out there? :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
