enjoyed it very much. Started reading Ivan Doig's Sweet Thunder, another episode in the life of Morrie Morgan, who was brought forth in Doig's, The Whistling Season and continued in Work Song. These books are set in Western Montana and since my sister and I are leaving for that same area on Wednesday, I though it would be a great time to read Ivan Doig's last work. We hope to visit another ghost town (old mining town).

Hermetic, thank you for this thread and I can commiserate with you on the harvesting/processing. I don't have as much canning to do as I will (hopefully) have later when the tomatoes really start producing, but my thumbs are quite sore (and stained) from shelling peas and butterbeans and stringing/breaking green beans. The shelling and stringing is easy work and we can listen to books on tape while doing it.

Congrats on your new computer. Hope your connectivity and speed improve.
