Amazon ranks it near the bottom of the whole religion/faith/woo category . . . and you know there's a ton of worthless dreck in that category.

But they are located approx. 60-65 miles west of Rochester. The Niagara River goes nowhere near Kodachromeville. Roch is on the Genesee R.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, which probably would include Hemingway after all, come to think of it.

Not surprised to see that Hemingway, like Twain, had a familiar. Come to think of it, he had a whole collection of six-toed devils . . . their descendants still live at his old house.

As a card-carrying homosexual, I can honestly say the only influence I remember Hemingway having on me was a renewed dedication to <i>using goddamned adjectives</i>. Oh, and I did once list the shotgun he used to kill himself as a childhood hero, but in my defense, I really hated that writing seminar.
