I think it's amusing that I uploaded Chapter 13 on April 13th, especially this is a Thursday and not a Friday. Fortunately, I don't have triskaidekaphobia, so I'm good.
Now, depending upon what the specific situation is, I'll raise my hand on acrophobia. If I'm secured, or otherwise feel safe inside, all good. When we were doing rappelling off cliffs, dropping out of helicopters into a lake off a rope, or literally sitting in the open door with my feet on the side skid of the chopper doing radiation surveys, because there was a strap holding me in, I'm fine. Never been afraid of flying, either. Put me on the roof of a house and if I'm standing on the edge looking down, vertigo gets going and I have to sit down. Same way if I was looking over the edge of the cliff I'm going to rappel off of, before the rope is hooked up. I can look at a picture taken straight down from the top of a tower and feel things crawl up inside. Ten feet back from the edge and looking straight out at the horizon, all good, or if there is a sturdy railing, again, I'm fine.
There are a couple of things in this chapter that are very real. Jim7 put the note in about one of them. The other one, when you read about it - well, if you want to look it up, go ahead. It's heartbreaking, but I had to include it.
On a lighter note, I'm about done with Chapter 27, courtesy of how badly Real Life⢠messed me up this past month. I should have it done by Tuesday - I have real estate appointments Friday and Saturday. (Yay!) Chapter 28 should flow quickly, as I've already got it figured out in my mind - if the pesky damned characters don't change the story on me like they did in Chapters 25 and 26. LOL!
Anyway, have as happy a Federal and State Income Tax creative math day as you can if you're in the US. If you're not - all good.
