Well, I was going to suggest the date for one of FK's more appalling
continuity errors - where Aristotle thanks Nick for saving him at the Battle
of Hastings, which only happened a mere 162 years before Nick was brought
across!  But.....  (there's always one!)

.....since there are only 60 seconds to the minute, it wouldn't be possible
to aim for 10:66, would it?  Unless you aim for 11:06 - i.e. 10 minutes and
66 seconds!  And that would only require slight improvement on your part,
not an all-out 'I'll get there if it kills me' effort to achieve.

Subject: Attention Caddywacks

Following the link on cnn's website for 10 wacky vacation destinations,
I was pleasantly surprised to find a web site for the location in Texas
known as Cadillac Ranch.

http://www.libertysoftware.be/cml/cadillacranch/crmain.htm

After further exploring, one cadillac enthusiast who's the webmaster for
the Cadillac Ranch pages) has a Caddy collection and one of his cars looks
to me (non-caddywack) very similar to Nick's.

Anyway, I got a kick out of all of this and thought I'd share.

I can't believe he even got the color right. What is it
with that green-blue? It's like that particular model was
born in that particular color. Not that it isn't pretty.

Subject: fiction challenge(s)

Due to my "Where were you last night?" challenge only getting one
response (by the way, thank you Bonnie) I am reissuing it in the
hopes that once find out it doesn't have to be a Last Knight
story you'll see the myriad possibilities within FK for stories
beginning with that question.
I'd also like to issue another one that I just can't get out of
my head. It's a topical one: the Caddy is stolen one day--with
Nick in the trunk. I started one but it turned very dark very
fast and isn't exactly suitable for finishing, let alone posting.
but you guys can probably do better.
If I should just give up on posting these challenges, however,
somebody please tell me so I can stop looking like an idiot.
Thank you

Actually, the flashbacks from Undue Process took place in
Anglesey, or Ynis Mon as it's called in Welsh. But that was a
long time afterwards and probably unrelated.
