Original opening line of Book 2: "They’d left nothing alive.“

After an entire day of word-wrangling, the new opening line:

"Isobel had been riding for three days, two to her destination and then a turnaround, when she found the bodies."

Yeah, that works. But dogdamn it, it took me HOURS and BRAIN BLOOD (and at least one walk around the neighborhood) to get the opening pages to finally do what I wanted them to do.

On the plus side, it should get easier today.

Should.

Right?

Except we had a local market fail: they have semi-sweet chocolate-covered graham crackers, but no dark chocolate-covered graham crackers. How am I supposed to work under these conditions?!

Graham crackers are what I would call digestive biscuits, yes? If so, I will bring you some when I'm over for worldcon.

probably not, no, at least not in their modern incarnation - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_cracker

This is my addiction: http://www.ashers.com/dark-chocolate-graham-crackers-1.html

(I could find them locally back on the east coast, but not so much here. And the thought of mail ordering them just feels...silly.)

Hunh. Silly is as silly does. Do you need a food parcel?

I'm still waiting on my mail-safe kimchee...
