>>I think Wes may be talking two different stories here. He said the new story he was in the process of writing uses a character from Snowplow Extra, but the one starting after Bleu Beauty (Grin) uses one we're familiar with. I sort of guess myself that he'll keep us guessing on this one to see how far we'll take it. There's a lot of characters out there, folks. Too many for me to guess.

Some of these characters are interesting as supporting characters but not strong enough to warrant a good tale by themselves. Imagine, "Festus. The True Adventures of Matt Dillon's Side Kick."

Nancy and Pete stand well in their role as supporting characters. Even Chrystal's story has been told. What I'm eagerly waiting for is the inevitable blowup between Jon and Pete and Tanisha and her brother.

That being said, it takes a great storyteller to take seemingly minor events and characters and weave a great tale around them.

Wes, Good job on getting a group of fans who are discussing characters in your head and whose stories you skillfully tell.

How about Steve "Stormy" Rumsey? Seems like he would make a good character to follow up on.
