I would say I'm back on my bullshit but I can't say I ever got off it -- really enjoying this so far.

It's a bit of a downer to search online for anything related to this book, actually, because the search engines are making jumps they've seen other people interested in the book make, so if I look one thing up, I get something related to another Cain's Jawbone thing, but if I go to the Wikipedia page (or whatever), there's no actual mention of what I searched. The only connection is that other people who are looking up Cain's Jowbone things think they are connected. It's not an interesting way to explore a puzzle.

My slight experience of detetive-sergeants is that they have a mannerl but no plural. If you use a word of more than two syllables to them they think you are laughing at them. They are, to that extent, acute.
