Ok...my plane leaves in two hours. Any e-mail, and/or corrections to unruly typos (which are no doubt planted front and center on my webpage) will have to wait 'til I get back next week. I'm not taking my laptop. I think I'm gonna be stopped by airport security anyway, I always am....but this time I have a small stuffed alligator in my carry-on bag. It's been handed down, and back-n-forth, through 3 generations of women in my family....I'm gonna try and pass it off to someone else. I always have something wacky in my luggage... completely harmless, but wacky.

Well, I could blame the rolling blackouts here in California for not letting me get my web page updated....only I live next to a hospital so my 6-socket power strip's exempt. I could blame the weather, since I had to drive through a wacky Oakland snowstorm to get to work today...but the snow really didn't lie there on the ground for very long...it was gone by the time I headed home. Anyway, tonight I updated pieces of the list of custom bootmakers. I'm not quite done, but I'm close. Those with a keen eye will notice changes in lists for Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma (Blucher Boot Company's changed hands again).
