    Chapter 47

    Thanks for my "Will" fix! So now Zach is being stalked by an assistant coach? That could make things more complicated. Now I'm wondering what Steff came up with Darius for handling JJ.... More Will please!
  2. As Irma pounds Puerto Rico on its way to Florida, I thought of this tribute song by Coldplay performed in Miami for Houston a couple weeks ago....

    Chapter 4

    Poor Buckland and Hornblower left to deal with a batty captain.... George is of course lucky now, but his luck has had many ups and downs, some quite deep... More please!
  4. @tabaqui Carlos is familiar with guns and the military. Their rule, is never point a weapon at someone unless you have to and if you do, be prepared to kill them. It's a tremendous burden that cannot be taken lightly. Shooting to maim or slow someone down, may be an option for a long range sharp shooter, but if your life is in peril, don't risk it by wasting a shot to slow someone down intent on doing you great bodily harm.
  5. It's entirely too sad that we are still dealing with this and that they often get a free pass from the authorities. And now with the equivocation of the dunce occupying 1600, the white supremacists are further encouraged by the Arpaio pardon. Thanks for sharing your story and I thought it was well done.
  6. I would agree with the AP article, the link is provided below. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/california/articles/2017-09-03/5-notable-steely-dan-songs-to-remember-walter-becker Deacon Blues video with background and analysis including insights from Fagin and Becker.

    Chapter 45

    As I'm reading this the second time, I know who the guide will be...and it is a surprising choice!

    Chapter 43

    There are no guarantees that Granger will beat Bacchante back, but it is his best chance at this point. If memory serves there was an interesting competition in the discussion thread as to whom would reach England first.
  9. CJAMES' story 'Circumnavigation' is the longest story onsite. The chapters average at just about 6000 words and each was greatly anticipated when posted. My point is write your story the way you think is best.

    Chapter 36

    Chicago pizza is a pie. I like it for a change but usually like a thin crust pizza. Italian sausage and green peppers for toppings. And now I could go for pizza.....pity it's too late at night, I would be up until dawn.
  11. Happy Birthday! & Many, many more!
  12. Here is an update on rainfall totals posted at 3:55 CDT this morning:
  13. As we near the end of August, I see two teams that have really done well despite all the things that happen over a long season. The National League's LA Dodgers have been phenomenal as have the American League's Houston Astros. I know under the expanded playoff structure these two teams have somewhat less of a chance to advance to the World Series, and if that happens, it will be sad. With a little more than a month to go in the 2017 season, the Dodgers already have 91 wins with a 13.5 lead over the Washington Nationals and the Astros have78 wins with a 5 game lead over the Boston Red Sox. While I wish my Cards were doing better in the least competitive division in baseball, I cannot help but appreciate the talent I've seen on the Dodgers and the Astros.
  14. If you did not get to see the PBS broadcast special, the program is available on line. http://www.ninenet.org/blogs/program-highlights/the-farthest-voyager-in-space/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8vnMBRDgARIsACm_BhJhLGdVESXh1IABEJ6dIN9mEz0QSmugApLpahF4OQqrNmhLSj9W3lgaAjbgEALw_wcB

    It could happen!

    Chapter 32

    Calvert is learning about appearances and despite his preference realizes he must make the best of things so as to not cause social complications beyond what is tolerated. Granger sees these things intuitively and sometimes loses his patience proving he too is human.

    Chapter 31

    Re-reading four years after it was posted, I am still enamored with Granger's exploits and his ability to find solutions no matter the problem.

    Chapter 46

    Scott's remark that he thought it was worth it, left me speechless. And why would anyone believe that the crazy old woman wouldn't change her mind in the future? I think Wade has been and continues to be in over his head regarding his sister and mother, despite assurances to the contrary. I miss Will!

    Choices

    There are many people who are unable to forgive a deep hurt inflicted by a former lover. Liam clearly has a forgiving heart and a generous one. This story takes the reader on a roller coaster of emotions and is certainly well crafted and well told. I heartily recommend it to everyone who has ever wanted a second chance....

    Chapter 16

    Rereading I find I didn't leave a prior comment. My comment is that it is good to be underway.

    Chapter 35

    That was a satisfying chapter which left me wanting more...soon!
  22. The video is in the science news article and the article should be available to all. The link is in my first post. Another link that may work or may not is the PBS link. http://www.pbs.org/the-farthest/home/ If you have flipboard on your phone they have a whole spread on it too. Here is a web link for home computers and tablets: https://flipboard.com/topic/voyager#!
  23. The Voyagers were launched 40 years ago and marked the first time mankind explored our solar system. Their discoveries are still ongoing but they have finished their grand survey of the solar system. PBS will air a special to mark the anniversary on August 23rd. Here is a video to introduce it: An interesting article about the Voyager mission and the documentary: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/nostalgic-voyager-documentary-relives-first-exploration-solar-system
  24. I still am pondering just what the import is of what Mike was talking about to Brad. Since I am in the middle of re-reading the whole Bridgemont Series and Odyssey is up next, I don't have time to go back and re-read enough in Black Widow or earlier CAP volumes to get a real idea....any help?
