| Here I be Tardy tardy tardy... Tutting at myself Fourteen challenge stories. Gosh. You only have a baker's dozen to vote on though, since one lovely tale was from our current bandanny wearer, Inside Outlaw. (Aptly named as she recently had a couple of Outlaws inside) Anyhoooo Unlike me, the boys are always on time, so they are visiting all the writers to distribute grateful cuddles. And you, You have to cudgel your brains and decide which story gets your vote. Democracy is a great thing - mostly - so, vote early, vote often.  [Poll closes midnight next Thursday ] | |

| Well, I know there were some difficult choices this month amongst so many great - and very different stories. The boys have completed their cuddle round where they personally thank each and every lady who wrote. But, we have a winner... For historical interest and making us all yearn for the great outdoors - as well as for a great 'what do the boys do next' idea...  It is our very own Ranger: NMCongratulations NM  And - well done to everyone who played. | |

| I loved the thought of those post-amnesty jobs, but your challenge was so much more than that. LOVED for many reasons!

| Yes, I agree! Their realistic caution, the politics, Lom's humor...so much was excellent besides the story setting and plot!
Congrats on a great story! | |

too bad we can only vote once. 
Thanks to those who voted for my story, although, I think it has more to do with the post amnesty occupations than the story itself. I wish I knew more about Yellowstone, Park Rangers, and early National Park challenges because every once in a while a writer hits upon something they really would like to develop, this is one of those ideas for me.
