Five more chapters for you! (My summer’s rapidly ending, but it’s so ridiculously hot here in the tropics, I might as well spend my days in school, anyway . . .)

Days like this, I wish I were in Yellowstone National Park, where I imagined many of these scenes in these chapters taking place. Unlike here, in Yellowstone the nights are cool, the bugs not so plentiful, and there are no gators in the water. (One of the many reasons I don’t camp here.)
