Before leaving Lakehurst for the swim meet in Riverbend...
After the swim meet in Riverbend...
I see @drsawzall has already commented on this. My assumption is that the author. @Tony S., simply forgot that Matt had driven to the meet.
When I was a child in England back in the 1950's there were various flavours of what were then called mineral waters (now probably known as sodas). My favourite flavour was Dandelion and Burdock.
Well, I'm way past that certain age, But I've never said virus when I meant viral.
I did, however, for a long time think that the word meme, was pronounced like the French word "même" until a young friend told me different.
Mea culpa. I should have remembered that.
Binge-reading these Carter books and Andrew books means I'm getting as tired as poor Will and Jacob. 😴 So sleepy, I mixed up Jacob and Ned's origins.
O. M. F. G! 🤣

A thought that has been on my mind for quite a while now...
West told the story of the fire fight in Basra to Will several books back. He also told it to Will's sons in (I think) the last book.
But I seem to remember that he was asked by the Major (in his dying breath, if I remember correctly) to pass a message from him to Will. As far as I can recollect he has not yet passed that message on.
I'm wondering just what that message was, and whether it is going to influence Will's actions going forward...
