I'm a writer ( actually studying Journalim this year and next year) so I get excited when people speak about stuff they've written (lol) Selling 200 copies is quite an achievement! I see your point though about wanting to keep it 100% in your control though, editors can be brutal!
Well.. it's 11 pm here now so I best be off now. Thanks for the chat, you're a very interesting person to talk to.

Most of the time the summers are pretty hot (it's desert, remember). The Cascades shield us from most of the rain that comes in from the Pacific.

Also we don't have the humidity either so that makes it nice.

Wow! that is increadible! I find volcanoes really interesting too. I watch as many documentaries on them as I can, considering the closest volcano I could get to is in Namibia so national geographic will have to do for me. I think to have witnessed Mount St Helens go up... speechless. An experience that will stay with you forever I'll bet.
Have you approached a publisher about getting your book more widely distributed?

Yeah, if I had to claim two religions one would be Judas Priest heavy metal and the other would be climbing volcanoes. The Cascades have about a dozen smoking guns that run in a north-south line from the Canadian border down through Washington State and Oregon and into Northern California. I have climbed about half of them. Mount Saint Helens is the most famous of these, erupted in 1980. I got to watch it go off which was one of the most incredible things I have ever seen.
My favorite peak to climb is South Sister (of a closely-knit group called the Three Sisters) which I climb at least once every summer. Even wrote a short, handwritten book about it which got some local interest.

Ooops, forgot. I am from a bodaciously small town called Bluefield, VA. There is also a Bluefield, WV which is now almost empty since "King Coal" does not work out so well for the area anymore. The business is still booming but with automated systems being in place there are less jobs. The railroad is a good job if you can stomach being called out at anytime of day or night. I used to date an engineer for years and he seemed like the crabbiest person in the world sometimes.

We do indeed have Lesotho surrounded! lol another very beautiful place should you ever get to see it.
However, sound like you live in paradise! I hear what you're saying about the wrong kinds of people moving into the area, that can really put a bummer on things. Don't give up on owning your own house there one day, I believe everything is possible eventually. We've also got horrific housing prices too at the moment but our housing market is about to collapse and housing will become cheaper pretty soon from now. \
Are you really a mountain climber? That is so cool!! I'm more into hiking, we never had anything major to climb nearby but we've got some killer hiking trails around.

Across the border in WV there is an entire county (pretty much) filled with crackheads. Anytime someone says they are from the "County" you know what county they mean. I have never even drove to that county and it is only about 40 minutes away. I just don't want to see it at all. I'm actually proud I have never been there.

I live in a place I feel clueless when a new person moves here. Why would they do it? I'm lucky to have a job in this area and I cant understand anyone moving here. I must admit though I have move away a few times and miss it when I'm not here, but wow it takes some getting used to once you get into the faster paced lifestlye of other places. It is a good place to let my daughter grow up. Around here you can still leave your door unlocked and the chances of something happening are as great as being struck by lightining.

In Cape Town (where I live) we have a mediterranean climate so we get all our rain in winter. We get snow but only very inland and on our mountain peaks. Even on the peaks is too close to me.. my house is surrounded by fecking mountains.. actually, it's a very beautiful place to live in. |

A lot of that was fluctuations in the exchange rate. then from the late 90's to the mid 00's it was the other way, stuff here was comparitivly cheaper. we exported a ton of cars, now, we import from the US.
but, damn we pay a lot of taxes for our socialized medicare. I actualy think that today is the day i have paid all my taxes and get to keep the rest that I earn.
when does that happen in the states?

Well that shoots down my theory about the U.S. gas prices being hiped to support the war in Afghanastan. I didn't know it was that high in Canada.

Anyway, gas prices in SoCal are in the $4.50s and above. Not a great time to drive.
