Hi Don Jose,

Thanks. I guess the off-topic was the anouncement.

The book was inspired by this forum some time ago. I made some mention of having worked in the mines and somebody made a post suggesting that I was being mendacious and that I had never worked in the mines. So I indignantly fired off another post that described some of my mining experiences. You may recall the incident in which the hoisting rope broke and the skip fell over two thousand feet in freefall while I was in the loading pocket. I remember you made some comments about that at the time as I think you were in a hoisting business yourself at one time.

Anyway I threw in some family history which I think is kind of colourful and a whole bunch more stories from mining towns and a few mines I worked in and voila a book.

It is available at smashwords, kobo, Barnes and Noble and other book sellers as smashwords is primarily a book distributor although they also sell ebooks.

It is available on smashwords at <a href="http://smashwords.com/b/269905" rel="nofollow">smashwords.com/b/269905</a> .

Many thanks.
