But mostly Watson.

Thank you, Dr. Watson, since that was one of his favorite expressions in the Sherlock Holmes stories.

Jovial - just think of Santa Claus' nature, and I don't mean the giving of presents.

Now there's an emotion I haven't felt in a while. -
I didn't mean to offend anyone. My comment was merely made with tongue-in-cheek - a jest or tease.

Looks like gay male couples prefer to go where the nightlife if the best for partying, while lesbians prefer to go where there are artistic endeavors, such as museums, theaters for live performances, and classical concerts, which are often found on or near college campuses. No surprise here.

It doesn't surprise me that the UK would have an assortment of different types of trains that have run the rails there over the past couple of centuries. Most, however, are probably museum exhibits now, so I was surprised to learn that there are still steam locomotives in operation and run on a regular basis. Thank you for pointing this out. I found it very interesting.

Welcome back, Freddy. You obviously couldn't resist returning to this wonderful place and being part of this incredible family.
-
Yes, welcome to GA. You'll not only find lots of stories here that are from many different genres and written by many different authors. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great many stories that you'll enjoy. Happy reading!

Don't you mean Myrthfully?

Yes, Art and Brock sealed their own fate by their actions, so we won't feel sorry for them. I'm glad you enjoyed how the gang thwarted the robbery, but they had a definite advantage. Besides their ability, they were obviously more intelligent than the robbers as well.

I was thinking that Devin and Mac might just rent the house to them for a semester, but then I decided against that. Even though they would definitely get under Louella's skin, they'd probably trash the house as well, so scrub that idea. I'll have to consider the 'rich aunt' scenario though.
-
I'm not sure if Barry would be suspicious about Devin and Mac. Maybe he's just grateful that they are his friends.

As far as the technique that Gramps and Pops taught the boys, it probably didn't have anything to do with being a skinwalker, although it may have been a technique used by the Navajo or a skill Gramps and Pops had picked up over the years. It's hard to say which, however. As far as Barry's relationship with his other friends, I think the chapter title at the top of today's posting says it all - friends no more.
-
I'm sure that Art and Brock would be anxious to thank you for sparing them, it they'd ever met Louella.

Actually, I have to blame the oral surgery I had and the medication I'm taking for the late posting. I fell asleep at the computer last night (Monday) and when I woke up before midnight, I got into bed intending to take a short nap and didn't wake up until just before I post the chapter this morning. This time Louella wasn't to blame, unless she was somehow related to my oral surgeon.

I'm glad that you found that distraction method successful, I'm just saddened to learn that you found yourself in a similar situation. As far as Barry's other friends, they were modeled on guys I knew (vaguely) when I was in college - many eons ago.

Chapter 31 – Friends No More “I’m afraid you’ve picked on the wrong people to rob,” Pops calmly stated as he faced the two robbers pointing hand guns at them. “And you’re going to regret this.” “I don’t think so. What are you two old geezers gonna do to stop us?” one of them asked as he shoved the barrel of the gun into Pops’ chest. “Give us your wallets and phones now!” the other gunman said as he shoved the barrel of his gun into Gramp’s chest. Gramps and Pops quickly

Thanks, Al. That's exactly what he is. Just a random character that happened to be where the boys were. Maybe he was looking for a handout or hoping to steal something out of the SUV, but nothing more than that. I've found that people like that are attracted to younger people whom they believe are naive, or older people whom they are hoping are suffering from a mild form of dementia.
-
Did you ever consider that he might have just been a guy looking to rob them, which wouldn't have had anything to do with being a skinwalker? Maybe he was just hoping to steal their SUV or looking for something he could sell for a little cash. I think sometime you guys expect every incidental character will become involved in the story. Sometimes they're just what they seem in the first place.

I didn't know any of the evil skinwalkers had a name, and if they did I would assume it would be a Native American name, since they were all shamans at the time they became evil skinwalkers. Even if we did that, we'd have to take Louella to Utah, or possibly New Mexico, to introduce them. I'd do think she'd go with the group, at least not voluntarily, but that is a good idea. I'm not sure if Louella is still in her childbearing years, but if she is they it would give the skinwalker a chance to poroduce his son, who would probably bear more of a resemblance to the father, rather than the mother Putting t hat aside, could you imagine a fat skinwalker?

The song couldn't possibly be about sex, because if it was the censors would have prevented it being played on the radio or used on television shows. They probably would have also blocked it from being used in movies as well, because we know sex must be kept in the dark and not be glorified in music or displayed on TV because it might overstimulate the teens and young adults. That was the 1950s and 1960s logic. Hell, the even stopped TV from allowing married couples to sleep in the same bed. They had to sleep in twin beds, and I'm surprised they didn't require them to sleep in bunk beds.

If Louella took a long walk off a short pier you'd probably hear the tsunami sirens go off in Hawaii and Japan. 😜 As far as campus security being around when they're needed the most, stay tuneed, because that question may be answered for you on next Tuesday. 👮♂️ 👮♀️

Tony, the guy who asked about a restaurant can't be an evil skinwalker because they wouldn't be able to pass as human. Their features would be distorted and hideous. You're too nice a guy and I think Louella has had more than enough chances to prove that she's human and has a heart, but maybe that's just me.

Robbers vs skinwalkers. Sounds like something from WrestleMania. And the question of whether or not they'll find the evil skinwalker is still up in the air, and I'm sure you won't find that out in the next chapter.
