Gentle Reader:

Let's start out talking about something predictable. It was always going to end this way, wasn't it?

Just a couple of articles for you today:

Gentle Reader,

It has come to our attention that a website has been created as a library of our content at www.oksmokesignals.com. We did not authorize this, nor do we know who set it up. That said, we don't oppose it. We'll refer to it as a tribute page. You should let people comment on it, we might even join in from time to time. Shall we get started?

We had not written in a while and many of you checked in on us. We also told many of you that we didn't plan to write as regularly this year. But here we are, writing a second piece this week. You go when the news tells you to go, I guess.
