Chapter 15 is PL OK

The snake in the orchard, fearlessly caught by a woman, reminds me of a story my mother told. She taught elementary school for years, and one day some boys decided to prank her by putting a snake in her desk drawer. Upon discovering this, she immediately grabbed it behind the head and chased the boys around the room! Instant respect. You see, my older brother often had pet snakes, spiders, horned toads, and other creatures in the house, so she was quite comfortable with them. He was also quite a birder.

It’s great you have such a wide experiencial connection with this book…older brother’s interests, mother’s experience….
I was 5 when we left BA and I really don’t have any like memories since we lived in the city and only visited the country a few times…. So I’m learning a lot!

I think I successfully got them straightened out. The rows can be "dragged and dropped" changing their order (sometimes inadvertently).

That's what I thought . . . done that often enough.

Sorry!
I can only guess that that’s what happened in this case also!!

Chapters 19 and 21 are PL OK

For Chapter 20, take a listen at 0:04 and 05. Sounds like a record that skips or something.
There is also a typo in the MW

VERY strange....a computer hiccup...no sign of it in the time line but definitely BAD!
It's been corrected!

AND 24 is done!!!!

There are many reasons why it might not or cannot be used.
