Even in =A song of Ice and Fire=, you can say of an event or an act "This is good," or "Tnis is bad."  Often it doesn't work out that way, but ylu can see it should have.

The nails were the right diameter.

The inspection axe fell promptly and I wasn't ready.  All of management's worries were unfounded.  The inspector did chat about the electronics, maybe to satisfy himself that I do know what I'm doing.  I have to finish cleaning up before I leave tomorrow.

And I have to change my no-inline-review request.  The X-line format is usable.

Mobile doesn't have those links.  "READ" is under the menu button, and brings you to a tabbed page.  None of the tabs is for contests.

The problem with mobile interfaces is that they often seem to use a different code base entirely, so you can't make any assumptions about how one side works based on the other.

On the Home Depot web sit, if you want the aisle and bay for an item, you need the not-for-mobile website.  At Lowes, to get the same info, you need the mobile site.

Oh, and if you're thinking about more side-stuff for Kat, I'd suggest instead finishing out Mantle and adding prequels for Anver (what happened to his eyebrows!) and Katerin.

Note to Janet R. and other reviewers: I do want details to support my narrative.

The example that comes to mind is in Trouble With the Curve (a great date movie, I think, half baseball and half chick-flick), when Amy Adam's character discovers the pitcher.  She dons the catchers' pads, takes the glove, and crouches to receive a pitch.  She sets a target near the bottom of her chest, but the pitching prospect's fastball comes in off her shoulder.  Is he wild?

No.  His fastball stings his little brother's hand, and he's not going to fire one at this lady until she shows that she can handle it.  She flicks the big glove out and the ball hits it "with a pure sound" that knocks the glove back--but she keeps the ball in the glove.  Then she throws it back and the next pitch bull's-eye's her target.

How much does the viewer have to fill in?  All of it.  But it holds together when you work the logic.

I don't see those links.

Okay, the problem with the head amp is that I'm only getting a gain of 2 instead of 20.  I'm feeding the thing through an attenuator cable so I can turn the input down far enough, and it's easy to forget that the attenuator is 1/100, not 1/1000.

That's why I didn't see the problem.  Now, what's causing it?  Maybe my voltage stabilizing network.  If so, I think I know how to fix it ... but I'll have to find room on the circuit boards.  I need to test it on the breadboard.

First sleep, then the first set of shelf mods.  The second set I can do or hold, but I'll need to see if I need the third set.  If so, it's a trip to Lowes or Home Depot to get some melamine-covered board cut -- and get some 8d common nails, hoping they're the right diameter to cut for pegs on those shelves.

And I just had a talk with my brother.  I need to find a way to visit my mother soon and regularly.  The doctors say that they don't have anything more to help her weak heart.   They are guessing weeks to months.

Have to think about it.

By the way, GKC is the most quotable writer since Shakespeare.  You can find a bunch on the site of the American Chesterton Society.

Be sure to read up on the Principle of Parsimony.  That's why everything is interrelated.

And I think I see a clearer way for me to approach the rapid changes in attitude he experiences.  While I'm at it, I would like to drop in a little backstory (there is no such thing as a little backstory) and flip a fillip at some of my reviewers.

If you're positing genetic enhancement, you can make up almost any problem you like  You could, for example, decide that the enhancements overload the base design and that problems result from imbalance.  You could have certain problems, like synesthesia, relatively common and no question of shame.  You could extend that to sensory experience of abstract reasoning, again moderately common.  What mores do you want the shame over the aberration to reflect?  Is it shame at being different, or shame at weakness (an inability to learn arithmetic?) or is it a moral failing, or perhaps something like Multiple Personality Disorder?  Or maybe a version of MPD where all the 'personalities' share the same memory, but their evaluation of it (happiness, sorrow, ...) differs?
