Sorry about my non-existent comment. I just wanted to note that I was surprised at how unfactual AI is in writing prose.

The geography involved in describing the trail drive is absurd. First of all, there weren’t roads to follow in going from Abeline, KS to the Big Horn area of Wyoming, rather they would be moving over open range following trails at best. Secondly, the route would stay in open range miles and miles east of the foothills in Colorado. A drive through the foothills would take much, much longer than one going through the high plains, and a good portion of the herd wouldn’t even make it through that terrain. It’s doubtful that aspen trees would be anywhere near a cattle drive trail in the plains. I live on the edge of the Front Range foothills and know firsthand that it’s just not trail country. Ranching up there at the time was for local use only until some railroads made livestock transport practical some tears after the mid-1870s.

Were batteries involved in generating sparks when their stirrups touched?

Once again, thanks for another great chapter .

I think that Eleanore might come around after he saves her ass.

This new chapter is one of the best Christmas gifts this year. And yes, it was on my wish list. Thank you, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, May the Force be with you, and so on.

I think that the sub-title for this chapter could be “Zen and the Art of Door Repair”. Great chapter full of grace and hope.

I don’t know why, but my mind visualized a golden haired, young Dolly Parton as I read the scene with Daisy and Blake. Another great chapter.

Thanks for the new chapter. Kind of like Alex’s view of reality, so many possibilities are opening up for everyone in this tale.

Jeremy may have one this time, but he sure did burn bridges that he might wish he hadn’t burned in the future. Will, on the other hand, is showing emotional growth. Beyond future actions against the idiot director, I hope he’ll be able to pull sufficient help together for Travis before it’s too late.

Thanks for another great chapter to a wonderful story.

I recently had a craving for more of this story, so I started reading your original version on another site. It didn’t take long to notice the vast improvements of the new version over the first version in just about every aspect of your writing and storytelling, so I decided to stick with the current version. It’s one of my favorite sagas on GA, period. Thanks for giving us this new version. I look forward to each and every upcoming chapter.

I think the correct word is unpleasantries and it's a real word. I think unpleasantnesses is a great word for a young teenager to use in this case, real or not.
