Another contortionist act

A quote from the fantastic Locus review:

"When Daniel Morgan paddles his kayak into a smugglers' cave and falls into
the clutches of a gang led by a "Columbian drug lord," this opening scene
works like the start of a TV thriller - an attention-grabber. From then on,
the pace rarely slows."

Quasi-snowish material

The weather gods offered us a few inches of semi-snow today, granular to sleetish, so I shoveled the driveway and hauled my lazy butt out to the city forest. Trails much improved, with just enough cover on the ice and dogshit to make for decent skiing.

I rant about dogs and dog owners often enough, I should mention the matched pair of Siberian Huskies I've seen out there a couple of times, very well-behaved. Today, their person had them harnessed and pulling him on skis. Happy happy dogs, with a job to do.

4 miles, 55 minutes.
