Huh. Didn't know Johnny Weissmuller had polio as a child. Doctor suggested swimming to build up his body. Knew he was world-class swimmer, but he set 67 world records, won 52 national championships, and won five Olympic gold medals. He retired undefeated from amateur competition after eight years.

Less than a week left to order pre-Christmas prints from www.ciaraioch.com going to the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand if you want to send them there as gifts for loved ones. If you want them as gifts for disliked ones, order them after this so they'll arrive too late, that'll annoy them.

Released my 5th western (under my nom de plume Joseph Parks): Outlaws of Wolf Gulch. These are pure shoot-em-up pulps (i.e., don't be expectin' Lonesome Dove). All five feature Colorado Ranger Hench, but they're standalone adventures. Just need Taylor Swift to share this post and I can retire!
