    Chapter 13

    I have enjoyed all of the Thompsonville stories very much and I SO wish it could be a real place to visit! 🌏

    Chapter 29

    "We are, quite literally, on a knife's edge." Aaargh!! Hopefully, a real CBC Anchor wouldn't say that. No, it's not "literally." It's a figure of speech; it is not literal!!!!! The destruction of the English language… Sorry, pet peeve.

    The Funeral

    Jeremy: "As usual, my cousins managed to create constant drama. I was so glad I didn’t do that." Possibly the funniest line in this entire saga.

    I'm enjoying the story. FWIW, and I apologize for pedantry, but 403 is the Apache error code for Access Forbidden. Not Found is 404.

    Fucking Thor

    When the dinner fight started I checked on the date, thinking it must be a Sunday. But no, 10/13/04 was a Wednesday.

    Tesla

    If Will wants two, he can have them. I just evicted the stench of Elon from my own garage in favor of a Hyundai Ioniq 5 😀 The Hyundai is quieter, rides better, has a bigger cargo area than the Model Y, and no phantom braking. And next year I'll be able to charge it at Tesla superchargers.

    Chapter 19

    'Good thinking Ninety-Nine.’ I didn't know Get Smart had made it to Australia! I wonder how many readers today will understand that reference?
  9. "no way in hell am I going to start my eighteenth year as a virgin.” Um, actually, his eighteenth birthday is the start of his nineteenth year…

    Pool Party

    Thanks. Not sure why I just now noticed it 😉 I've read 'em all.

    Pool Party

    A slightly OT question: what's the font used for the story banner? I like it 😀
  12. I'm guessing the question about "stone" might actually have been about "I felt five stone heavier" rather than about throwing one at a window? That's a British measurement of body weight equal to 14 pounds (not £s) 😉 Edit: Sorry, I should have reloaded the page before commenting and seen that it had already been clarified.
  13. Herky is a reference to this https://hawkeyesports.com/herky-the-hawk/

    Fargo Forgone

    I didn't get this one either.

    Aftermath

    "I'm sure Ethen has a lot to say, but that's for another story." Book III, I hope?

    Welcome to Omaha

    I'm enjoying the story and appreciate the good writing. One minor quibble - the sources of the Missouri River are in and near Yellowstone National Park, not Glacier 😀

    Chapter 10

    What beautiful, beautiful writing!
  18. Just when I thought I couldn't dislike Don any more than I already did…

    Nocturne

    Thanks for another great chapter. Sorry to be pedantic, but retired professional musician in me can't resist a small correction: it's Juilliard 🙂 , with an extra letter i: https://www.juilliard.edu/

    Realtor in business attire tromping around in mud and dirt.

    Chapter 26

    Having heard a concert there recently I can confirm that acoustics of the main hall are pretty bad. And from the outside, what looks incredible from a distance is not so hot close up - lots rusty bare concrete in fair to poor condition, looking for the world like a Soviet designed apartment building. Still, an icon! 🙂

    Chapter 31

    "why didn't (s)he say something, you know? Like, 'Hey, me and Mr Franks are going to lunch.'" Because, hopefully, her grammar is better than that? Edited just to be clear that I was joking. I forgot the ;-) at the end.

    Epilogue

    Well done! I missed this the first time around, so enjoyed it greatly. But the question of the hour, of course, is: will "Changing Lanes" follow?
