I keep googling all the waystations and rest stops and it truly is the adventure of a lifetime for this crew!!! Loved this chapter and included a link below!!! What a great way to learn more about your great country...of course watching Outback Opal Hunters isn't necessarily the best place to learn about Australia...My father, prior to being shipped to China during WW2 spent time in Australia and had nothing but great things to say!! Gunbarrel Highway - Wikipedia

Dag nab it, it took some time for me to get through this chapter as I just had to go and seek out works by all the artists mentioned... If I had a favorite painting, it would be Pontormo's fresco titled Vertumnus and Pomona. See the link below...As a young man, strategically placed fig leaves used to be the bane of my existence, oh, the happy hours I could have whiled away with that fresco!!! Vertumnus and Pomona, c.1520 - Jacopo Pontormo - WikiArt.org I think Francis Hayward is smart enough that Vaughn will give him and only offer unvarnished opinions...rumors tend to have a gravity akin to a black hole, seems best to me to stay clear of them...What was it Ben Franklin opined about secrets, "Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead"!! Simply loved this chapter...and that fresco....

What a great chapter, while things are settling down I suspect a few minor bumps in the road, it will be great fun watching Ollie grow into a fine young man...of course there will be several 'life lessons' to be imparted...such as...

These are challenges that will be overcome with dedication and persistence...it sucks but considering the alternative...

The title of this chapter was "Trouble Ahead" and I thought it might be Jamison, if not him...what kind of trouble awaits our travelers...

Or 'Eye of the Newt"....tho we wouldn't miss it or him either on this planet....

Here's hoping they have better luck next time... Good point @drpaladinabout using horses and the transitioning might spook them...that also rules out elephants if they had to transition into a mouse again...😁

Well now, there is a weather forecast for some serious angst here....and missed chances With friends like Danny.... What's sticking to Josh's wings...or is it a bee in his bonnet?? Who's thongs...humm??

Truly an original and a unique read, this is simply a marvelous, twisted, demented, offering from astone. How can anyone go wrong with the following... Sam gasped as the man’s body morphed. Skin turned to metal, and his stature became thinner. His face melted away; eyes and lips blending into the new form. The transformation passed quickly. The man’s former hands entered a small hole in the ceiling, and his feet fit into the same slot on the floor. “Holy shit,” his sister mumbled. “That’s… He’s a full-blooded shapeshifter, and he’s the fuckin’ stripper pole. I was not expecting that.”

Hoping you check over your shoulder every now and then, it is a long wait till freaking Saturday....

FotherMuckingmonkeyspankingpoodlediddlers.....One has to wonder if the family of the ignominious, supposedly not quite so f'ing wise, Reverend Beck all joyfully conduct incestuous born-again meetings.... I have to pull out the latest @weinerdog psychotic, psychic, prodigiously powerful tinfoil hat of future forecasting, with a not so salient observation giving the nature of the instructions Billy gave to Charlie, and his comment/reaction as to the findings Charlie found... Judge Crustypants was responsible for the court order into Steve's background. “I'm having Charlie review the court orders to see who filed for the background requests. Usually, a lawyer will do background checks on clients and witnesses, and two of those are employment and relationships. I wouldn't put it passed Clarke to have someone one his team to do a background check on Steve, especially since Steve was going to be supervising the visits.” One other prediction whilst wearing said tinfoil hat, I'd bet my left testicle, oops let's not get carried away here like Denis Leary, I'd bet a growler of IPA Judge Crustypants might/may/possibly/hopefully related to Beck clan.... The end of the video is the best part...enjoy!!!

Nathan is a putz as the following attests too....he's become a tremendous liability... “As it healed, did you ever feel pain in your arm or around your chest?” it asked Nathan. “No,” he lied, swallowing a lump in his throat. “Very good. Then you were able to fight the toxin.” A visit to the witch may be in order, would it be possible for 'Theodoric' to bring them there??? I'm not fully buying into Cormac's story...

Another wonderful story and thanks for sharing!!

Truly a delightful chapter to say the least!! I became curious about Tadcaster and found the following... Tadcaster - Wikipedia

To err is human, to forgive is divine...forgiveness is the tool that opens many self-enforced doors...

I could see the wisdom of handling Kenny's situation in this manner!

I'm not sure why this trial is continuing, other than to sort out what a shithead the boy's natural father is...I may be wrong, but Attorney Clark has to realize what a looser of a case he has...What possible grounds could the turdblossom and his attorney possibly have that would decide the case in his favor... Interesting to see that the human chimney was in court with the fuckwad, it just goes to prove that it ain't love betwixt the two of them, but the possibility, however remote, of a significant payday...what could she possibly be thinking after the testimony of 20 past girlfriends...all with the same, sad story... Judge Crustypants has to realize he has been boxed in, the threat of jail to Billy for insisting on fairness could be a career ender if it ever got to that and in a judicial fitness review forum... I remain curious to see what the ramifications will be for the assault on Caleb, keep it cool and remain cool Brian...

The road ahead and the path to recovery will not be easy and I suspect some tough times ahead...

Let's face it, with all the police on the premises, what could possibly go wrong/right???

Anticlimactic to say the most...will the journey back to the lab be the path less traveled???

Well, color me confused as Oscar as to Julia's intentions, why did she drop off the face of the earth and what could Dieter and Bastian possibly need? I would suspect that the vehicle is packed to the gills with little to no room for either of them...

An interesting chapter to say the least, the foreshadowing of the past two chapters will now come to light in the next??

Along with the note regarding the concerns in the last chapter, the following does not bode well... So much for the supposed and vaunted homegrown spy network.... Perhaps, the deaths of Charles and Mary Tudor were too anti-climactic and the sudden peace too abrupt for me and my allies. We dropped our guard and the long peace left all of us open to the hidden dangers within our current world.

I think that Prince George deliberately chose to stay in the background as well...I think the late Baron's impulse control and deviancy earned him his just deserved ending... There is something 'special; about Greg, we see it in many of the ways he acts, as he becomes more comfortable in his role, I think we will see his influence expand... To the victor goes the spoils in this society... I have to hope Jake is turned quickly and with no ill effects...

Loved the following, succinct and to the point, I would go a bit further, take away their cable TV and internet, give them a forced subscription to Mother Jones along with mandatory diversity classes....
