Yes, it does, maybe by some miracle we might get a few flakes of snow. :) Brenda McKean's Blood and War at my Doorstep is excellent. Unbeknown to use she had used some of my research on NamSouth as well as Bernard's and we only found out when we read the acknowledgements. As Bernard said, maybe we actually do good sometimes.
