Gildan goes AWOL!

Gildan will not be in game from Tuesday the 13th of Feb. to Wed. the 21st of Feb., as I will be dogsledding in northern Ontario. Sorry for the short notice; I did not think I'd be able to afford it this year but got a break at the last minute. This means I'll miss the "fragile Ovoid" competition, which I'm very sorry about

I still have no IC explanation for Gil's absence; please post suggestions here!

umm..... He got caught up researching information about windy planes and dragons, and a certain friend of his (the plot for which will continue when i get my new tower

)

He was stollen and hidden by Amash for a ransom, that only Jalvasia can pay her life for, and hidden in a bucket, chopped to shreads, that only Vilmiathien can reconnect!

He's helping the Fijuta Corporation with some "experimental" items.

Good suggestions! If any DMs do want to use Gil's absence for anything, I'm up for whatever; just PM me. Drove all day in nasty weather; blizzard conditions here in Ohio, van went in a ditch once but I got it dug out. Amazing how hard we work to have fun.

On to Canada tomorrow!

I will inform the border guards of your imminent arrival.

By the way, when you say Northern Ontario, just how far North are you going?

Parry Sound area; the mail run is from Humphrey to Rosseau. So could be more northern, but still pretty cold.

One year we had a border guard who wanted to feel around in the straw of the dog boxes for contraband; she was told that as there were some puppies she might find accidents in there and thought better of it.

My favorite was the year my dad came along and spent the whole drive up to the border telling me how they were going to dismantle the van and turn us back and require masses of paperwork, and we got to the border and breezed through and he turns to me and says: "Sure, it's easy getting IN!"

Parry Sound!! Thats just the tropics still. I thought you were going to James Bay or something.

Up until a few weeks ago you would have found Parry Sound quite snow free.

Yep; we can't run the usual route on the lake because it's not frozen. Dogsledders hate global warming!

I really am leaving, but maybe early tomorrow as the weather here is sucking for travel.

I'm back! Dogs ran great! See you in game!
