Chapter 24 – The Navajo Nation Route 666 was merely a two-lane paved road that ran through the reservation, and we’d traveled quite a ways on it when Pops told us what he was about to do next. He’d taken over the driving after we’d stopped to fill the SUV with gasoline, since he’d been here before and knew the way. He’d traveled to the reservation to ask the shaman if he could possibly make me a skinwalker, so Gramps thought it would be best if he took over the driving. “We’ve go

I don't believe bathtubs will ever go totally out of style, because where would you give your toddler and young children baths and where else could they play with their bath toys? There's the age between 2 and 7 or 8, possibly even 9 or 10, before many children are capable of taking a shower by themselves.

It's possible that bathtubs are slowly trending out of style, but I'll never forget the cast iron, claw-footed bathtub that I took baths in as a child.

achondrite - Word of the Day - Mon Aug 14, 2023
Bill W commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Achondrites are rare, and the ones that might be found on earth will have originated on either mars or the moon and been blasted free by a collision with an asteroid. The more common type of meteorites are chondrites. -
And thank you for pointing out the impact that dreams can have on one's life. I wish you all the best with helping the homeless rekindle their dreams, as well as inspiring your own dreams.
-
Thank you for the clarification, Al.
-
Thank you, and I believe we all like a little fun in our lives, no matter the situation. I'm glad you enjoy it.
-
Yes, this gift can either be a boon or a bane, so let's see how it works out for him. Thanks again for the feedback and your praise. It is much appreciated.

And I'm sure most of that theft happens OFF the reservation, since not many non-natives hang out on the reservation in their leisure time. You give some more good suggestions, though, and it would be wise for people to follow them if they worry about their vehicle being stolen.
-
Those are good suggestions if you travel a lot and are worried about your vehicle, or parts of your vehicle, getting stolen. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, even for material items, so if it doesn't appeal to them, then they won't be apt to steal it from you. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks, Ste, and I'm glad you are enjoying this story. There is a long way yet to go and they will arrive at the reservation soon and Mac will begin his training. Let's see what happens next, while he is learning to be a skinwalker. Thanks for the feedback.
-
Yes, they finally got some good news, so hopefully things will get better from here on out. Thanks for the feedback.
-
Yes, evil can be a terrible force that tears apart other people's lives. Hopefully, they'll be able to overcome this obstacle and get on with their lives, but only time can tell. Thanks for the compliment.
-
Thank you, and I hope you continue to enjoy this story.

This is the perfect time to have 'cider' as the word of the day, since the fall is generally considered prime cider time, and don't forget about 'hard cider'. There's nothing better than having a good cider and donuts/doughnuts for a fall break or on Halloween. It helps to remind me of my childhood, many eons ago.

I wasn't referring to a soothsayer using the entrails of an animal to make a prediction. I was saying that stabbing yourself with an awl was awl-ful.
-
That's awl-ful.

Paraphrasing a line from a Beatles song: Will you still need me, will you still read me, now I'm seventy-four.

Ste, I saw that you were reacting to each chapter as you read them and I'm glad to finally hear from you. I'm glad you are enjoying this story and I hope you continue to enjoy it. The chapters at the reservation should prove very interesting. Thank you for your support.

I believe Myr wishes I wasn't bedeviled by so many things.
-
Sure, if they knew where they were staying and what they'd have to work with. I think you'll see when they get to the reservation why that wouldn't work out.
-
Read on, McDuff, and all will become clear.
-
I didn't say they'd be eating all their meals off the reservation, but because the Navajo Nation is a poor nation, they don't want to take food that someone else could be eating. They be getting a good taste of the local cuisine.

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood.

It could be better or it could get worse. Look at this comparison. When Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address he spoke for 2 minutes, but he was preceded by Edward Everett, who spoke for 2 hours, which was typical for speakers at that time.
