CJ, I'm enjoying reading the discussion here in your forum - not as much as reading the story (epic novel) but still good! Weird stuff does happen in real life. Last week the ground wires at our incoming electrical lines were damaged by the gardener and I woke up one day with voltage spikes in the house. Almost took out my computer, and our furnace, but PG&E was there within the hour and took care of it. So take your time and don't rush it. This is the last chapter - once published, you can't go back!
