Hopefully one of those mobs will = drop the black amulet I need for my spell. =20 Karen is feeling your pain Ruth...Great Falls is not on her = A-list...it's not on her list at all. I think it has something to do = with a posting on the Air Force site..."limited shopping opportunities". = Just remember the ancient SPACECOM saying "all roads lead to Colorado = Springs".
