Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Oh come on, Wik, you know there are only two seasons in upstate NY - winter, and June-July-August.

Re: dandelion patch

Ain't *nothing* like 91.  *shudder*

I still count that as the worst weather experience in my lifetime.

Re: dandelion patch

actually there is almost as much ice, but it is coming in like a 36 hour period, and thankfully the wind hgasnt been bad, so the damage is not as bad.

Re: dandelion patch

Well, that's one good thing...it's weird listening to trees explode though, isn't it?

in 98 we only had half a tree hit the house, but we were surrounded by pine trees, the noise from them splitting apart was amazing. I don't think I slept for 72 hours.

I hope this passes by quickly.
