Well, I've been busy and it's taken me over a month to get around to making minor edits to the tale including the suggestion from some readers to put metric conversions into footnotes. Done. So, if you missed the original 6-week long serial posting of this tale, now you can read all 234 pages of it at once.
Thank you to those who provided feedback from the original series of posts late May to Early July and thank you to anyone who reads it this time around.
