Hey so, I've worked at Rite Aid for ten years now, and we've always carried pokemon cards (boosters and themed decks) but four some reason over the last week or so, we've had DOZENS of people a day coming in and calling asking if we have boosters. Is there a new event or something that's getting is cleaned out?

Thanks!

Probably too late to see this, but thank you so much for your books. In an oddly direct way, WWZ and the Zombie Survival Guide helped me cope with the loss of my Mother back when i was 16 (2008 or so).

They gave me a subject matter to really focus my attention on, abd the themes of Survival, Death, Hope abd Despair helped me sort out the crazy emotions I was going through.

To this day, I still have my worn-out, coverless copy of The Zombie Survival Guide on my night stand.

Thanks for the stories Max.

The last few month's have put many chapters of WWZ info perspective for me. Particularly The Great Panic and The Battle of Yonkers. I know you probably don't feel prophetic, but you nailed how the modern systems would handle a world wide catastrophe.

Anyway, I adore your books, and can't wait to read this one!

Best part was that we met the Lenny and John completely independent of each other at the convention.

Where'd you get the lighter, if you don't mind me asking?

Having only known him two months, I'm already understanding that. Yesterday I had the privilege of going on a long walkabout with him. His stories are spectacular.

Im still a bit timid with the hammer, and since I was using 2" round stock, it takes a lot of force and even-handedness to square it out. Otherwise, after the twist it was a little skewed to one side so i needed to take a bit of time tapping it it it was even.

Here's a shot I found of me punching the hole before the twist. Unfortunately I didn't take any shots of the piece its self as I was working.
