Forgot to mention that I finished _Whose Body?_ over Christmas. While I thought it had some structural problems, the characters were all thoroughly delightful, and I will definitely continue reading the series.

I was struck by the oh-so-British politeness of it all. One of the tensest scenes is the Dowager Duchess attempting to remain the perfect hostess while covering for Lord Peter, with woefully imperfect information. And she pulls it off! The murderer twice attempts to kill one of the detectives pursuing him. Each time, the detective is aware of the attempt, and prevents it. Yet a third person in the room with them would never have even *noticed* the attempt! Unless he was a very keen observer of social nuances, this hypothetical observer would not have even detected any animosity between the two.

My friend at work wants more access to the knowledge-base of my friends :-) She sez:
Hey everyone!

I’m on a majickal quest of collecting my own spring water and am in need of some large glass bottles/jugs/carboys 1/2 gallon or larger.

If any of you have said containers but have no use for them, let me know and we can work something out!

A couple of dark glass carboys would be absolutely PERFECT as well as some smaller units made of a similar dark glass! (Hopefully of the food grade and non-toxic composition. :P )

Thanks everyone :)
Any brewers out there who can share sources?
