style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Good gentles, allow me to make
myself known: I am Michael the Big, known in the wider world as Mike Heywood,
Trucker and Adventurer, and in the SCA as either Michael the Big or, more
recently as Hrafn Kettilsson. My purpose today is to inquire after the
conditions in northern Ansteora. You see, things in An Tir are getting
expensive, and while I have a nice enough job to provide most of the time for
my family, there are months that don’t quite cover themselves. Such is
the nature of the open road, a harsh mistress. Only yesterday, I was
removed forcibly from work as my truck jackknifed and destroyed itself.
Fortunately, I was injured only mildly (I’ve gotten as bad from a weekend war)
and the company is large enough that they won’t have trouble getting me
another truck. As a trucker, I can house my family anywhere with little
difference to my job.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
