There seems to be a lot of cookies missing from the stack of cookies I baked last weekend. I know how much my family is eating because they make it no secret when they go in to grab a few. No. There are cookies missing overnight. I hate to point fingers, but the Elf on The Shelf seems to be getting kinda fluffy for a guy who flies back to the North Pole every night and returns in the morning. In fact, I find it kinda suspicious that he is so dry for a guy whose been flying in this heavy rain we have had for the last two days. Not a drop of water on the guy. Okay, fine. Let’s call it magic. But he is looking a bit too much like Santa if you know what I mean. I guess I wouldn’t have a problem with any other elf, but this guy gives me the creeps. Watching all the time. It’s not right.

PATTON – BOUNTY HUNTER: 4th Adventure
by KURT JAMES
Genre: Westerns
FREE for a limited time
Something didn’t feel right, there was something different from before. This damn canyon and its tricks on my thinker had my mind buzzing, looking for a sign, looking for clues. Then it hit me like a shovel to the head. Looking westward, then skyward, then eastward — it was the wind. The wind had changed — it was no longer blowing east to west. The canyon wind had reversed and now was blowing west to east. Why there was no more scent in front of us is because the demon bear was no longer in front of us — he was now behind us using the wind to hide his scent. Diablo as cunning as he was had used the mountain wind to his advantage. We were no longer the hunters; we had now become the hunted.
