TO ALL MERCHANTS interested in setting up at the 32nd Steppes Warlord, an invitation:  This event is Memorial Day weekend, as usual.  Go to www.steppes.org/warlord/index.html for event information.  There is no merchant fee, but a donation to the prize baskets is appreciated.  The sites have water and electricity.  There are a very limited number of indoor spaces, and for those there is a small extra fee.  Please contact me for more information, your site needs, space requirements, and so on.

  To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you and hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations-such is pleasure beyond compare.
