I had to put together a guild newsletter first, so today's installment isn't ready to be posted, and I'm going to have to go to bed shortly. But I should be able to double post tomorrow to make up for it. Things are moving along, nearly all the important clues have been exposed, and they should all be on the table by Tuesday, I think. Then comes the task of sorting the real information from the red herrings, so to speak.

I'm thinking seriously of doing some illustrations for this on my own. I know I can do it. But those will have to wait until the 50K word goal line has been crossed.

Horses and sheep are not pleased with the switch back to standard time. By their way of looking at it, it just means that meal times are coming an hour late. I can't blame them. They made such a vocal fuss tonight at about 5 pm that I went ahead and did evening chores 30 minutes earlier than I had planned. Once they all had food, things quieted down nicely enough.

Moon is not yet full, but very bright. It got so dark by 5:15 that I was glad of the moon to show me the way back to the house after the barns were closed up. Strong southerly wind is keeping the temperature well above what it was Friday night as well. Made an apple pie this afternoon and we are about to "test" it. ;p

OK, see you tomorrow with Roth's analysis of the situation, and then some surprises from the police.
