Hi Patsy,
PF>        What are the BART and MUNI?  I thought her books were set
PF>        in New Orleans, or am I confusing her name with another
PF>        author's?
Sourdough Wars is set in San Francisco.  Same author, but a whole
separate series from her New Orleans stuff.  BART is Bay Area Rapid
Transit; a subway.  MUNI is a tram line that also runs underground, just
above the BART for the stops along Market she mentions in the book.
It's older, but cheaper and runs more frequently than the BART which
primarily serves the suburbs.
 
PF>        I'm not shopping yet, I'm "crafting".  I'm trying to use some
PF>        of the materials that are readily available to me, buying as
PF>        little as possible.  So far, I've only spent $1.25 and that
PF> was for a little container of paint.  I'm not very far into the
PF>        project but, even so, the results so far are encouraging.
Ah, MUCH better. Do you get the Crafting Echo?
PF>        I enjoyed it.  Now I'm working on on Suitable For Framing
PF>        by Edna Buchanon.  It's pretty fast-paced and whenever I'm
PF>        at home doing something besides reading, I keep finding
PF>        myself being drawn back to the book.  I love it when a book
PF>        goes beyond holding my interest!
Haven't read Edna Buchanon.  The talk here makes her sound a bit too
violent for my tastes.  My current read is _Now Let's Talk of Graves_ by
Sara Shankman.  It's set in New Orleans and a pretty good read. Don't
know if she captures the setting well or not, though.
... Contentment is not getting what you want but realizing what you have.
