"These are not the acts of tentative people." Such a sentence! And such an understatement. Speaking as someone who discovered her revered grandfather is a big Amistad, with two families, one unknown to rhe other, I applaud the non-tentative among us. Especially those with well-stocked pockets

Gosh, Bill, your prose style, if one can call it that, is so ... I don't even know where to start, but there IS this: the AI bot assigned to copying your style will have a field day of learning. Sorta like yr artist bot. Nice pics.

In my own style? I love accidental typos, especially when they're really funny. And your accidental Eskimo, when you had intended a perfume-y "intuit," instead was a real howl-aloud moment for me. Now I wonder. Did I even titter? Or was all that celebration in my mind only, just like the inward joy of Isaac Watts?
