Merkin Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Trailwise, I imagine the dog has left his mark just about everywhere they've been. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 You don't suppose anyone would use, say, an abandoned T-shirt to track fugitives with? R Link to comment

Rutabaga Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 . . . . I stepped into the void. "Tune in again next time, boys and girls, for another thrilling episode of 'One Summer in Georgia.' Now this is your announcer, Cliff Hanger, wishing you all a good night." R Link to comment
Merkin Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Quite the decision tree laid out in this one. Link to comment
Chris James Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I think Cole is having way too much fun antagonizing the readers, me included. But you can bet everyone will keep on coming back to this story until the last page is posted. Good going, Cole. Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I think Cole is having way too much fun antagonizing the readers, me included. But you can bet everyone will keep on coming back to this story until the last page is posted. Good going, Cole. I totally agree, Cole is having far to much fun. I don't mind cliff hangers but have a feeling that Cole is also cutting away at the safety rope and any moment I'm going to find that I am not where I expected to be. Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I am enjoying this but I want to point something out. The South is famous for the Boss Hogg type sheriff however the reality of it is that they are usually very unpopular. We had one in Warren country some years ago. He was bad news and would set you up to get busted he decided that you had a bad attitude. He owned all the drug sales in the county by busting the competition and taking a piece of the action from his cronies. The Sheriff planted the seeds for his own destruction by honking off everybody in the county and being arrogant enough to think that it didn't matter. By their own actions, they create a we-hate-the-sheriff society that will act against him on the sly. The sheriff that I'm talking about the FBI got interested in him. They put a team with cameras in his next door neighbors house because the Sheriff had busted his neighbors nephew with pot one of his deputies magically found in the kids car. Everybody knew that kid had nothing to do with weed. Sooner or later you honk off the wrong guy. Link to comment
dude Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 James, I think Cole may be pointing out the same thing. Mike Link to comment
Paco Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 This one gets our southern stamp of approval, especially Fitz. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think Colt is proving to be a kindred spirit with our narrator (whatever his real name is). Except the narrator doesn't have a dog following him around. R Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 OK . . . but what's the disguise for the dog? R Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 "Our stay in Niceville was over." And an eventful stay it was, to say the least. R Link to comment
Merkin Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 That poor dog isn't getting walked very much. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 If it were a cat, it would take all sorts of solicitous fussing over. It's a dog. Dogs go with the flow and don't complain. C Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The dog in the house at the back of our place complains all the time about our cat teasing it. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Well, that's another matter entirely. That cat obviously misunderstands its place in the social order of quadrupeds. C Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Well, that's another matter entirely. That cat obviously misunderstands its place in the social order of quadrupeds. C The cat perfectly understands its position cat owns human, human owns dog! Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 "He talked a long time. Even said some things I needed to know." Seems like we readers can see where this is going earlier than the narrator. More than that I cannot say without risking spoilers. I will say, though, that I was surprised at how neutral and emotionless Colt apparently was when he received certain news in this chapter. R Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Pascagoula, MS is famous for seafood and shipbuilding. Most of the Israeli navy and a big chunk of the US Navy's Burke destroyers and AEGIS cruisers were built there. Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Every time one of these deputies appears on the scene, I can't get rid of the image of Jackie Gleason playing Buford T. Justice in the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies. R Link to comment
