Living dangerously, Jamie.

Good picture, Jamie. Keep smiling.

Jon...you and Kevin both prefer to live alone but you suggest a merger? Consider the house an investment. Personally, I disagree with all who prefer living alone. Perhaps that's just me. It's not always easy living with someone else, but if you learn from your mistakes and master the art of togetherness, the benefits can be awesome.

Congratulations! Please post an engagement picture.

Just remember the old saying, "A friend in need is a friend I don't need". Or, something like that.

If such a pill became available tomorrow, I would gladly take it. At my age, having been married for nearly 40 years, and with grown children and young grandchildren, I would not consider changing from the "straight" life I have lived. Anything that makes it easier would be welcome. If such a pill had been available 50+ years ago, I would definitely have taken it. I doubt it was easy for anyone growing up in the 1950s, regardless of sexual orientation. Gays had no choice but to stay in the closet. By the time I graduated from high school, I knew of only one openly gay guy. By the time I graduated from college, that number had doubled. A pill would have been an easy way to solve a lot of problems and eliminate a lot of uncertainty.

I agree with Robbie that it's primarily a matter of trust. You should not violate that trust - or demonstrate a lack of trust - by snooping in your SO's private matters or property. If your SO isn't trustworthy himself, he will demonstrate that in short order. Taylor's snooping crossed the line when he removed a picture from its frame to see if the subjects were identified. Answering the phone was another courtesy or favor he was performing for Luke...and it gave us a most enjoyable part of the chapter, his conversation with Rory.

Maybe...

Your score is: 19 points out of a possible 25 That is 76 % -- Good! Hmmmm. I'm surprised!

I was assuming they couldn't get across or around the volcano to get to the airport. Actually, either side of the volcano could blow away in a big St. Helens style collapse. A tsunami could travel almost any direction from the island.

If they go by boat, they risk being capsized by a tsunami.

Dom, how about Line of Sight for a title? As in a clear, unobstructed view of something. Not bad for a blind guy. Just a thought. I thought Dennis and Travis got out of the bathroom and went grocery shopping. Or, are they back in the bathroom in chapter 25? Hope the migraines go away. I used to have those, too, but they just disappeared; don't know why.

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet. But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat. Any other ideas about the use of lemons in combat?
-
Lemons? We'll have to give that some thought. Lemons aren't exactly a high-tech weapons system. Good chapter, Cliff.

Cliff James has released Chapter 20 of Changing Lanes. The chapter title is "Explanations". Explanations? Well, we will see if the goat has explained more than the new questions he raises. "Explanation separates us from astonishment, which is the only gateway to the incomprehensible." - Eugene Ionesco

Great news, Johnathan! And welcome back. Hope to see you here more often.

Has anyone tried Smooth Away?
-
Prayers and best wishes to Will. I certainly hope that he doesn't have Crohn's disease. I believe he was tested previously and the results were negative. Hopefully, a lesser ailment will respond to treatment and he will feel well soon.

"Unscrupulous politicians" an oxymoron? Maybe a redundancy. "The current decrease in global temperatures...more closely related to the current low level of activity on the sun" is what I call "natural".
-
Global warming was last year's news. Scientists say we have now entered a period of global cooling. It's a natural 15-20 year cycle; man has very little to do with it. No need in everyone going crazy over the weather just to make a certain other person wealthier than he already is.
-
Heartwarming? Probably Cliff's ideal catastrophe...the sort of cliffhanger he really wants to write. Happy New Year to Cliff and all his fans.
-
An interesting theory. Perhaps US intelligence has figured out that Scar is alive and know where he is. They have enlisted Gen. Bradson (possibly without his knowledge) to liquidate Scar while seeking to liberate his son. If either or both parts of the plan fail, the US has plausible deniability available to apply to the activities of the renegade former general.

Hooray! A belated Christmas present. Thanks, Jack.
-
Happy third birthday, Jack! I'm much older than you but can't write nearly so well. Have a great fourth year!
-
Merry Christmas, Cliff. I have a gift for you. It's a question. Since when does not knowing make something not a cliffhanger?
