We had dinner last night with a man whose brother owns a house (used to be the post office) in Silver City and he didn't know they had an ice rink there. We learn about the battles and all that, but not how people actually lived and what they were thinking about. To me, that's <b>real</b> history.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-38739279218867901142013-02-21T19:32:59.898-06:002013-02-21T19:32:59.898-06:00Sarah, the payment for having babies didn't se...Sarah, the payment for having babies didn't seem to take hold.

Not a single one of my critique partners bought it--said it was completely implausible. But anyone who's lived in a small town knows that it happens all the time. I did change the scene, though.<br />Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-79174018077470077222013-02-21T19:32:13.999-06:002013-02-21T19:32:13.999-06:00Troy, it's a pleasure.

The style of news writing put plenty of personality (slant) into its reporting and is comparable to the political pundits with radio and TV shows today. I was struck by the detailed description of the gunshot wound. <br />Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-41657881338752623372013-02-21T08:54:23.839-06:002013-02-21T08:54:23.839-06:00I love this stuff!
