carrying onward!

In Tsiu's great-great-grandmother's time, navigators had mapped the entirety of Nasoyunukona's six mountainous islands. The southernmost island was roughly diamond-shaped, with a massive bay carving out a mouth from its southwestern corner. With countless atolls ringing the bay like ferocious fangs, some poetic navigator had been inspired to label the island the dragon's head. On a map large enough to include the Khoyokona archipelago, the poetry gained a sense of truth; the thousand islands of Khoyokona resembled a dragon's beard, running five hundred miles southward across the Jheu sea to end in a feathery tip a little over three hundred miles north of the Heichunh archipelago. Carrying the poetry to its logical end, Heichunh earned the label of the dragon's pearl. Frankly, Tsiu would have rather tossed the pearl over his shoulder and kept sailing.

I dropped anyone who didn't explicitly request to be kept on, but this is a double-check in case you just missed the post. (I probably should've followed up sooner, since I stated that no-response would be a polite "thanks, I'm full".) If you want back on or want a pdf of what you've missed, just ask. And if you haven't been on and are curious, you're welcome to read, too.

I might have missed the post, because I'm reading this and thinking, Post? What post? Should I go back and look, or am I safely on whatever list I should be on?

I think a little after I made the post, you posted something about having been buried in local madness, so it might've been timing. I put you back on, and if you want the pdfs to catch up, just let me know.

That explains everything. If it wasn't about maneuvers around casino siting, and it happened anywhere from just after Thanksgiving on, I could probably have missed asteroids hitting the earth. I'm glad you did the double-check: I do want to at least try to follow along, and I would never have realized that I'd dropped the ball otherwise.

Did you want me to send you the pdfs, or did I send those already? I can't remember, either. I think I left my brain in the car. PM me with your email, if I didn't and you do.
