If you have a chance, say, Hi, to "Hydromania" author Stephen Shepperd at Hastings, where he's autographing books this weekend. And, if you want to do Hucks Nation a solid, you can borrow my copy of "Hydromania" and write a review for the blog. Whaddya say? BTW, I wrote about "Hydromania" in a recent column here and posted a Q-and-A interview with him on the blog here. (Photo from Stephen Shepperd Facebook wall)
