Not so much a start as a herald, to be precise, since we're still a few hours away from the dawn of '09.

Well, I hope it's a herald . . .

I just heard this morning from the publisher of my books Discarded Science and Corrupted Science that the Russian rights in both have sold -- to the company Izdatelstvo Martin.

The advances aren't such that I'll be agonizing any time soon over whether to buy a Ferrari or a Bentley, but at least I'm a few grand better off than I thought I was when I went to bed last night.

A few grand less insolvent, anyway.

Precisely. Next I'm hoping to get chicks for free.

Planning to start a poultry operation?

Not that kind of right little layer.

Ah, now. And how many Scoville units would Pam produce, I wonder?

"And how many Scoville units would Pam produce, I wonder?"

At least several.

Bear in mind that the Scotch Bonnet pepper has a rating of 100,000 to 350,000 Scoville units.

I did say "at least" . . .
