I just want everyone to know my first book, Confessions of a Work Camper: Tales from the Woods, is is now live and available for purchase as an ebook in the Kindle Store. This book is a collection of my personal essays about my two seasons as a camp host and parking lot attendant in a remote...

Yes, this is a very good part. I have seen for myself that a charcoal fire in a tightly closed vehicle can kill. I don't want it to happen with anyone else, either from charcoal or propane or any other source. Someone on my blog commented that she'd always heard to leave a window cracked if...

Thanks! I don't have much time to spend on the forums, but I appreciate the fact that they are available. Also, I wanted to check in, as it seemed some folks were concerned about me. I appreciate that concern too. I'm glad to be a part of this community, even if from afar.
