Now It Can Be Told
So for about two months now, I’ve been having to sit on the line up for Trouble In The Wind.

While I wasn’t going to add to my long “to do” stack, Cedar Sanderson felt strongly enough about the issue to put together a great post about the topic, while Dorothy Grant also gave her views on the topic. I’ll add a couple things…
