FF> It was on the shelf when I took out "Kiss The Girls" but I
 FF> didn't want to take out two books by an author that was new
 FF> to me.  It will probably be checked-out when I look for it.
 FF> Not that I'm a pessimist or anything...    
 
     I can understand you not taking more than one book by the same
     author. Especially if you've never read him before. How do you
     know if you'll like him/her. 
     Well, if the book is checked out you can always reserve it. I do that
     at times. I wouldn't call you a pessimist. More like cautious. :}.
dr> Travis McGee lives aboard a boat called the Busted Flush and
 dr> has a friend by the name of Meyer. I think he does have money.
 FF> I think Susan Bulla was right... I was thinking of Lawrence
 FF> Sanders' McNally series.  I've added the Travis McGee series
 FF> to my list.  Thanks!
     If you would like a list of the McGee series, I will post it
     for you. Let me know.
     
     
     
     Do you like Sanders? I've read some of his older books and liked
     them, however, was not impressed with McNally's Risk, etc. Feel
     it's a complete rip off of the Nero Wolfe series. Once again, a
     good writer who has slipped in his later books. But that's only
     my opinion.
 
 
 dr> Crazy weather, but Southern Cal.
 dr> is notorious for that. Never know how to dress from one day to the
 dr> next. 
 FF> And I thought it was Southern Cal that always had mild
 FF> temperatures.  I've never been to California.  New Orleans area
 FF> weather is ever-changing, too.  People often blame cold and flu
 FF> epidemics on drastic weather changes.  We're having a stretch of
 FF> cool, dry weather.  For me, that's always a welcome change.
    Usually we do have mild temperatures, but we do have spells of
    warm weather sometimes, and never when we're supposed to, like
    Summer. (smile). And we are very spoiled. If the temperature 
    drops below 50 we gripe. 
 
 
 FF> people who visited this area during the winter said they couldn't
 FF> wait to get back to the freezing temperatures back home.  I guess
 FF> our humid cold kind of chills to the bone.
     Yeah, it does have a tendency to do that. Guess we're never
     satisfied, whatever the conditions.
 
 FF> As for our summers, there were similar feelings expressed by
 FF> visitors.  Many said that they could feel the humidity when the
 FF> plane started it's descent.  I don't know about that but I know
 FF> that when you step off of the plane into the terminal, the
 FF> humidity seems pretty thick.
    At one time my oldest son lived in Baton Rouge. I visited him there
    in the summer. It's a beautiful place full of history, but I sure
    didn't like what the humidity brings. Your mosquitoes could pass 
    for dive bombers. Other than that, was fascinated with the place.
    Didn't get to stay long enough to take in NO but hope too some
    day. I'm a history buff and love to visit cities that are full of
    historical things. Wish I had the $$ to travel all over. Oh well, 
    maybe when I sell my novel will be able to do that. One can dream 
    anyhow.
    Talk to you later, and let me know if you find a good mystery. (G).
