Twilight Farkle: Skywolf Philosopher: Cool, I'll see if my library has it.

Much like your local dealer, Baen's got the first five chapters (i.e., your first hit) for free.

I wasn't aware of this. . . *Bookmark*

kindms: wildcardjack: calbert: "Quebec produces up to 80% of the world's maple syrup every year, and the province's syrup producers federation has managed the world's strategic reserves for the past 12 years"

I did not know the world had maple syrup strategic reserves.

The strategy is actually to keep the supply tight so prices stay high. They learned it from OPEC.

THIS.

So are Vermont and New Hampshire a part of OMSPC?

/actually, I'm kind of curious since US anti-trust laws do not look kindly upon this type of behavior

Always glad to help; much like my namesake, I'm kinda into books. (Even the ones they charge for are DRM-free. No affiliation beyond being a satisifed customer.)
