I live in Lafayette, LA.... Dave Robicheaux Country. New Iberia is 20 miles from here.
Burke's prose and descriptive ability are unmatched. He describes a sceneso that you can almost taste or smell it.
You need to read "Heaven's Prisoners" or "In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead".

#1 for 09/29

I have read all of Burke's books (or listened to them) and we have the series here at the house. I have turned many people on to him. In fact, I think my paperback collection is no longer complete and I have no idea who has borrowed what. No matter. I buy them at my favorite used book store and will replace them as I want to reread them. I find something new every time. Beautiful area you live is Glassmanoak!

2- Glow I grew up in the mountains, and miss them enormously, but looking at settling down in Maine when the Army is done with me.

I really like Colorado. I take it for granted sometimes, but it is awesome here. Dad was born in PA and when he was stationed in CO he fell in love. He retired from the Air Force in Colorado Springs and then worked Civil Service at Peterson AFB.

The area DH wants to move to is very pretty as well, just in a different way. My only hesitation is the humidity and the bugs. They have some really BIG ones in TX and so many more that we have in CO. Our cold winters kill a lot of them off every year and we have almost no roach problems unless you try very hard to get them and keep them. I have never fought roaches in any of my homes, even the ones I rented. I know in Fort Worth there are areas where it is almost impossible to keep them out of the house. Cannot do roaches. No how, no way! I would burn a house down before I would stay in it with those horrid things.

I've already been picking legos up for years between the 7 year old and the 12 year old they have been playing with them for a while. The worst is stepping on them with bare feet

2) Here's another ECC interview with Juice By Numbers co-owner Eric Silverman. The company uses an atypical naming scheme. Instead of fancy or descriptive names, the first five juice By Numbers products are #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. I'm proud of myself for slipping in two goofy jokes, including a Three Dog Night gag. There's no way I could use a Three Dog Night joke in my videogame work. The kids would have no idea what the hell I'm talking about.

1. Thank you for your weekly giveaways.

Above post: RPAD TV Rocks. Love your interview style !

4) Why thank you Miss! It's nice to hear good things about what I'm trying to do. They mix in nicely with the emails I receiving saying, "Why don't you vape on camera?!? Die you ugly .....!!!" Ha.

Here's an ECC interview with Will Spallino from Rehab Vapors. What's cool about this company is that it gives 10 percent of its profits to detox-and-recovery homes. It's nice to see a vaping company with charitable donations built into the business model.
