It's cold, and it's going to get colder. So there.

In other news, Kinzel and I switched what we have of our respective projects; I just finished emailing the first 25,900 words of Sword of Orion to its fond editor, and am now going to curl up in a chair and read about Indian abductions of adults between 1750 and 1870, firsthand accounts, written by the people themselves. The book on child abductions in Texas in the 1860s and 1870s was ultimately a little disappointing, as the author could only infer why and how the captive children assimilated so easily into Indian culture -- and had no insight into why they found re-assimilating into their birth so difficult. There is, however, a pretty good bibliography, including at least two books written by former captives, so all is not lost.

According to my uncle, the brother of one of our ancestors was abducted by the local tribe, became a tribe member and then went on to gain a reputation for killing white people when he was older. (The reputation may or may not have been true.) If it wasn't for the fact that his name escapes me, I'd do some research on the story.
