Good. Because for two weeks straight Ginger Jake of Gimlet Gulch (guess, that’s their name) ransacked an exact duplicate of Lumberwoods excepting for one minor detail.

Oh and happy twentieth anniversary to Lumberwoods (April 2006 — April 2026). Now, most would consider a twentieth anniversary a momentous one. And they'd be right. And while I did orginally plan for a more elaborate celebration, sometimes life intervenes and things being as they are, it doesn't
