I tried something new this time. SurvivalBlog received a CD in the mail with an audio recording about sharpening, and I discovered a few things: Namely, transcribing is a whole different skill set than editing. My apologies to the author; I did the best with formatting that I could. I hope I got it right. Let’s stick with written articles from now on.

Hello! Seeing that title I was very interested in reading the author’s take on the area. I’ve lived here six years and visited often before that. I like his suggestions of places to live.
