  1. Spaceship landed. Military attacked. Aliens dead.
  2. I would say that we could probably classify all those late night sales pitches on TV as being kitsch then.
  3. The first car I drove was my Grandfather's 50 Ford, and the first car I owned was 51 Chevy with a 4-speed conversion kit on the floor. That's the one that kept popping out of gear.
  4. Ah, finally a word from my youth. The first car I drove and the first one I owned, most other people called them jalopies. I thought they just had a bit of character. It wasn't that big of a deal that the first car I owned might pop out of gear on its own. I just had to be ready to correct the situation. 🤪
  5. The less some people know, the greater their certitude about being the smartest person in the room and the total lack of any incertitude.
  6. Oops, I thought it had something to do with insert or insertion. I guess my incertitude lies in keeping the meaning of all the Words of the Day straight and using them correctly.

    Thanks, Tony. I went out on a limb to try something so different, so I hope I don't saw the limb off behind me. 😵
  8. I believe Icarus found his perihelion just before he crashed to the earth.

    Daddyd, that's ok. It's the thought and the effort that counts. 💓
  10. Everyone looks for heroes to admire. It seems as if Fimchal, if not of Portugal, has found theirs for now.

    Chapter 5 S1

    That's a good question and you should find out the answer in the next few chapters. I hope you can wait that long. 😁 Yes, I have, because the truth is slowly revealed. I hope you don't think of me badly for doing this. 😈
  12. @Myr I suppose this comment: No amount of written help seems to be pellucid to large numbers of a certain age group was aimed at guys like me. I've been a pain in your side for many years now. Sorry about that!

    Thanks, Danilio, and I'm glad you've enjoyed the Castaway Hotel series as well. I have always tried to be a little different from what else is out there, and I hope I've been successful and have entertained readers along the way.

    Chapter 5 S1

    Yes, you're assumption about someone else knowing how to do the things that made Devin's great-grandfather a skinwalker may be correct, but who has that knowledge? As you've seen, the trait has been passed down to following generation, although no rituals were performed, merely training to fine tune their ability. Thanks, Al, and I'm glad you enjoyed the Sword of kings as well.

    I'm glad, because that's why I take all of the time required to write these stories.

    All of your questions, and more, will be answered in future chapters. This information will come out a little at a time and slowly be explained to you. There is much more to learn, so stay tuned.

    Chapter 5 S1

    Your assumptions may be correct and there are many more secrets yet to be revealed. I hope it keeps you interested and entertained as the story continues.

    Chapter 5 S1

    You may be correct in your assumptions, because there's more information yet to come out, along with a few twists. I hope you aren't disappointed with how the story develops.

    It will probably happen soon, Al, because there is much, much more yet to come.
  20. Chapter 5 – A Close Call “Obviously, your great-grandfather didn’t die, so what happened? How did he survive being bitten by a diamondback rattlesnake?” “He said he must have passed out at some point, and when he regained consciousness, discovered he was in some kind of a shelter. He didn’t know how he got there and he didn’t see anyone around, but he was determined to get some answers. “Where am I and what am I doing here?” he shouted. “I remember being bitten by a rattles
  21. When I first looked at it, I thought the word was pettiflogger, and following the same logic of dealing with small and unimportant cases - well...
  22. @wildone Ok, then who's Sylvester?
  23. Yes, kuchen in the kitchen. Kuchen is actually the German word for cake, but it's actually a mash-up of cake and pie that is topped with a creamy custard. I'm gaining weight just thinking about it.

    Chapter 3 S1

    I agree. I could have explained that better, so I made some changes to make what happened clearer.
  25. Don't believe the hype. If that was the case, I would have had 3 dozen oysters delivered every day. Now, I just eat oyster crackers.
