David,
Peace brother. I was gonna ask you to explain the wowser reference to Cugal as I didn't have a copy handy but just today got an autographed Timescape copy of the book. Must say the signiture looks very fake. Anyway, I haven't read the book since it first came out, where abouts in the book is the latrine contest.
