Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

Out of several park and forest themed books I decided Avalanche Patrol (1951) by Montgomery Atwater sounded potentially interesting. Atwater (1904-1976) wrote 11 outdoor juvenile novels, and like many authors he worked in the field he wrote about. He was known as the father of avalanche research in North America.

Chapter 1: Paid Ski Vacation
Brad Davis gets yanked out of class because his Uncle Bob, “Chief of Wildlife in Region One of the U. S. Forest Service,” received an urgent message. Whitecaps National Forest wants a man for emergency duty. Brad is a skier, but Uncle Bob and his other Uncle Lane started their careers “before the time of the ski craze” so they primarily use snowshoes.

Is Brad an orphan? Orphan aren’t very common in career fiction; most protagonists have good parents.
