@ce_murphy
works but I don't know that I'm as invested in people reading those as this one. I think it's *good*. I think you should get it and read it. Review it. Talk about it. Hope you like it too!
BONE & BLOOD is available today at Amazon Kindle

@cstross You can tell I've kept up with the technology - they haven't resolved that yet??!?

@cstross Wait- so... I should get my brain frozen until they perfect the slicing and uploading to silicon to live eternally

@WellsiteGeo @regordane @digitalraven

To my house I have not just found out where they are but don't a distance list to them for the local community website so you can tell how far they are from the houses we live in (there are really 2 within "easy" reach)

@m0rpk @regordane @digitalraven

AH! Now, that I CAN reliably do. I am glad for this advice. Thank you.

@regordane @digitalraven THIS is what frightens me. When I'm stressed my ability to check for a pulse is reduced. The defib at least can be sure... but it takes time to go get it.
@digitalraven I'm so very glad you blew through the odds and survived. And that you were surrounded by people capable.

@cstross You could make it a multistop tour if you can find books at the airport (if you fly) or in the city center and sign those....

@triploidtree That's the stuff.

@slowtiger REALLY REALLY really not at all. more like a razor made of paper. Unfolded origami throwing stars.

The text says Stationary Office in Irish.... (Oifig an tSoláthair)

Though ours was a white/grey/see through stuff, not brown at all. It literally looked like tracing paper but more opaque... like modern parchment paper:

What was the deal with this stuff??

We had it in Ireland - through to college I think....

@triploidtree I do love a good map

@triploidtree Noooo I need to go to sleep now........

@Ailbhe You are like the queen, audiences are hard to get and you can change your mind about having one while you are having one. Now you just need a staff to look after your correspondence as well....

@natural20 android, Samsung specifically.

@natural20 i got tile for my last trip to the us. Worked fine. Knew my bags had got to san diego the night before me.
