    I hope these two have some awesome ability they haven't shown yet or this is about to get ugly.

    So Locklam was the brother of the Principal Messiah. She must have provided the crown to give him an elevated existence.

    I'm a bit ticked at meteors. About 17 hit the Earth daily and not one hits who I want them to.

    I actually have some of these, gifted to me by an aunt who was an amateur geologist.

    It was also helped along by the Confederacy's exclusive use.

    The term bushwhacker was originally applied to guerilla bands during the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and the Civil War. Bloody Bill Anderson was a bushwhacker, and remnants of his group became the James Younger Gang, which pushed the term into usage for outlaw activity.

    You have no idea how ready I was for this one. Jubal has had more than his share of bad luck in double quick order. I hope this chance meeting is the turn to the good he needs. I do have a feeling seeing the one guy's face means he's to run across him again with the odds more on his side. I do wonder why they left him his horse and gun.

    How can you have real safety when your police don't have full authority over everyone in their jurisdiction?

    This is the way it's supposed to work in theory, but looking at the numbers, it doesn't work so well in practice. In practice, you can commit just about every crime short of murder and go unpunished.

    In Latin, crux was an instrument of torture.

    The res is an easy place for non-members to commit crimes since tribal police have no authority to arrest or prosecute them

    New Mexico is rife with car theft. Many of them go across the border, but thrill and joy riders are a big problem too. The simplest solution is a hidden switch which cuts power to the fuel pump. If it won't start, you can't steal it.

    We now have the beginning of multiple, but allied quests going on. The nexus is in opposing the traitorous prince.

    Hard ciders were popular in the early American colonies because they were cheap and easy to make. You could easily raise the alcohol content even more in the winter by letting it freeze and separating the higher alcohol content liquid from the ice, creating Applejack. The downside of this process is it leaves byproducts like methanol and fusel oils removed by heat distillation. This results in enormous hangovers for those who overindulge; think of the worst hangover you ever had and multiply by three. Colonists coined a phrase for this condition, the apple palsy.

    To each their own, but there are some I'll take a pass on.

    I think you may have meant offal.

    It's been so long since the last chapter, but there were enough references to past events to bring it into focus. It appears they all escaped just in time to evade a bloody coup.

    Awl I Want for Christmas is Yew. *** I tend to have accidents with awls. If the holes aren't in the wrong place, they're in me.

    Stranger and stranger. Who to believe? Let's see; your frie nd's entitled talking cat or a strange human you just met riding on back of a monster? My guess is newbie here isn't trustworthy and neither is anyone calling themselves the Master.

    Abbattoir is too refined to deliver the same impact as slaughthouse. Can you imagine if Kurt Vonnegut had titled his book Abbattoir Five?

    Harvey wasn't as limber as Bessie here.

    One of them has been there and should have a pretty good idea. In any case, they could give it as a gift in appreciation.

    Harvey was dismayed when told his famous fart defense would be ineffective in an abbattoir. He briefly considered a course in taekwando, but had to reject it because he couldn't raise his legs high enough.
