179 pages.

I am currently in the process of printing out Steven's manuscript. It is 179 pages. My 4 page/minute Laserjet 4L printer seems particularly slow right now, and I am not buying it's advertised 100 sheet capacity.

It is really exciting printing this thing out. I am going to go to Office Depot or Staples tomorrow and buy some of those plastic binding combs to bind this thing on our binding machine in the office.

Seeing his book sitting here, on my desk, makes me want to get mine blasted out. I am going out tomorrow to do some research on my book. My current plan is to go; out to Ft. Sumter to see what they have in their collections, to the South Carolina Historical Society to make copies of letters about Sullivan's Island, and to the main downtown branch of the public library to visit their special collections room.

On Sunday, I should hit most of the places that I miss tomorrow, assuming that they are open. I will also go try to get some more pictures of the batteries on Sullivan's Island, and talk to the Fire Department about gaining access to Batteries Butler, Capron, and Thompson.

But, in order to do any of that, I need to get to sleep now.

Ciao
