The Shire is still there...I just sent out a call for scripts last week 
in the hopes I would get them up but as the year winds to an end our 
sales folks are trying to make their numbers and that tends to make my 
life hell...

Right now I'm just going to get the scripts I got, give them a perusal 
and figure out the best way to make them available on The Shire.  Now if 
only the days had a few more hours...
