I received a note from JR Tate, the author of Walking on the Happy Side of Mysery. JR is widely known as Model T Tate.

JR's new book, "Walkin' with the Ghost Whisperers" is now available.

Here is what Model T wrote me:

"It's out! Ordering info is on my web site http://www.modelt.net"

I ordered one and look forward to a nice January read of the book. I will forward a book review to White Blaze when I have finished it.

I ordered mine when the site said they were availible. A couple of weeks later it came in the mail - the funny part is that there was a postcard in the mail that day too - from Model T saying there would be a delay in the delivery of the book! :D

I have been working om my comps and thesis for school - but this book is first on my list for Spring Break!

I'm about a third of the way through the book myself and it is a very good read so far . . . as was "Walkin' on the Happy Side of Misery." They are very different books, certainly, but both are great for folks who enjoy the trail.

Highly recommend! :clap

For what it's worth, Model-T intends to do his 4th thru-hike--

Though I wish those people at TrailJournals would get their act together and change "2004" to the current year. They never bothered all the way through 2005, and now 2006 is the same. I told them more than once, to no avail.

Rain Man,

I don't understand what you mean by this. If I go to the Trail Journals index page, I see links for 1998 - 2006.

It defaults to the current year. Am I missing something?

Yes, you are. If you bookmark a 2006 Journal, as I just did Model-T's, the description/properties says 2004.

Since I bookmark journals I want to read and refer to, and sort them by year, the properties description is useless and misleading. A 2006 journal should say 2006, or nothing at all about a year. IMHO, that is.

I suspect this HTML coding is the problem--
