And yes, on Wednesday or Thursday when the rain seemed like it might stay a
while, we were wondering if Gunthar's reign as the Rain King might be passed

There was a lady there selling lots of period comfits and other period sweets.
She expects to be at Pennsic, too. More details when I do more unpacking.
