paw, 

The BWJ went out normally prior to Christmas, per the publisher.  I contacted Stu last week when my issue was way late & I discovered none of several subscriber friends had received theirs either.  He told me that "shipping" was a real mess and the matter was essentially out of his hands now. Subscribers I've heard from are located in Illinois, Iowa, Virginia, Florida, & Washington state.  Bottom line: it's in the mail.

That's the story, I'm afraid.  We're still waiting on a number of items that allegedly "shipped" weeks ago from various places.  Any somewhat important stuff that I have to mail/ship now goes out via premium services.  So far, THAT approach seems to be getting items through on a timely basis, at least.

I'll post something here when my BWJ arrives in Florida.  I'm anxious to read a story written by a newbie I took into the BWCA a couple years back.  It's entitled (if Stu didn't change the title), "The Isle of Squirrel."  Should be an entertaining first impression of the north woods and a very different take on wilderness canoeing & camping.  The young man had never done anything like it before.

Later,

hahaha... kinda' like Orphan-Annies secret circle in the 'christmas story' movie, waiting to use our special rings to decode annie's weekly message.  'drink your ovaltine', or something?
