Wish Me Luck !

Ive seen the bars hinged, with the off side held in place with a rod running through the other two pins. Quite effective and very fast to pull the rod and swing the bar asside

Aw, you know me too well, Gunner.

I read the _Ghost_ novel and want more, yes. I really like books by Richard Marcinko ($10.25 for 9 of them, -including- s/h thru eBay), David Drake, and David Weber (Honor Harrington and the TreeCats.)

Tired of them yet? I don't read online. It's just too hard on me poor li'l astigmatized eyes.

I started James Webb's _Fields of Fire_ last night.

I received it on Monday and see that you got _Ricochet_ yesterday. Danke mucho, monsieur.

Thanks, Larry and Ed.

I shall treat _Ricochet_ gently and send it back ASAP. Please let me know if you would like it returned sooner.

Take your time; I'm in no hurry for it. If someone else wants to read it, pass it along. I've branded it.

So did I, and I hope Winnie will, too. It'll be a running log of Wreck Metalheads who've read it and passed it on.

Who needs a lousy author's sig?

Thanks, Ed. I will put it back in circulation in a couple weeks.

Jeeze Larry,

Did you discuss that with Ed, first? I mean, it sounds charming and all, but it ain't my property. If you get my meaning and *I think you do*...

--Winnie

It ain't first-edition classic literature. If you want to sign it, go ahead.

I had thought that Ed was giving it away so I guess I may have "Oops"ed! (Ed, what's your stance? I apologize if I've blown it. As well, there will be -no- charge for my autograph. ;)

I'd like to have it back eventually. If it gets lost, I won't cry. Remember, that's an editor's review copy. I didn't pay anything for it.

I got it because I wanted to see if there was an article worth writing about the way NRA handled the Heller case (very badly). There may be, but it's not in that book.

BTW, if you noticed the single mention of Rich Miller late in the book, that's the guy I worked with when I was doing my lobbying and editorial writing about our assault weapon ban, back in the early '90s. I had some contact with the others mentioned but not with Richard Feldman, the book's author, until I talked to him by phone a few months ago.
