Vampires in the ...Thanks, Andiloo, on both counts!<br /><br />Vampires in the Lemon Grove is really something. I just read the second story, last night. I guess you could call it "Kafkaesque". It's not as creepy as Joe Hill's Kafka-inspired story in Twentieth Century Ghosts but it's definitely bizarre, which is not a bad thing. I like the uniqueness.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-5051810660121926572014-01-14T11:59:40.755-06:002014-01-14T11:59:40.755-06:00Go you with your 2000 posts!

I was digging that first story but I laid it aside because of life stuff last year.

I had the occasional book go missing in Vicksburg but it wasn't a regular thing. Here, I truly believe there is a thief within the local post office. When I realized I hadn't gotten anything from Algonquin in *months* (and their parcels are like Ft. Knox - really, really difficult to get into) I knew something was very wrong. Then I had a book stolen right out of a parcel, the package re-taped. I don't think USPS is doing anything about the problem. It's really upsetting.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-27753580677090676952014-01-14T10:31:38.592-06:002014-01-14T10:31:38.592-06:00Glad to know not just my neck of the woods has mai...Glad to know not just my neck of the woods has mail adventures.

It's interesting. I can't say I always agree with the author about absolutely everything but I like his down-to-earth approach to the Gospel.<br /><br />Thanks! Yes, I suppose crossing a number like 2,000 means blogging is very much like opening a vat of wine and letting it spill and spill and spill. There was, and is, a lot inside.

I couldn't find mine on the day I drove to Vicksburg but I finally located it (in plain sight, duh) about 2 days later. You will love the peach pie scene. Will get in touch with you after I find out whether anyone needs to borrow my copy. <br /><br />Thanks! I'm kind of stunned. 2001 posts? I think maybe I talk too much.
