Backstory: Our intrepid young hero has an itch he needs to scratch.
It leads him into the lion’s den where he escapes … barely … before going back again!
Will he run afoul of the law?
Our well-meaning, daring-do hero finds a new source of creativity.
I’m not a plot-spoiler so you will need to watch the video to find out how our young hero leaps from one boiling pot to the next and finally … … well that would be a spoiler … eh?

WHAT NOW? Am I enabling a toxic corporation?
I decided over a year ago to disentangle myself from Amazon. It’s not easy. Some things are hard to find anywhere else, and for rural folks, it may be almost the only game in town. However, I dropped Audible, and Kindle Unlimited, but I’m still in their web. My primary credit card is Amazon. I’m a book person so I thought maybe I could just find and read about, but not buy, books there. That didn’t work; while I was there, it was too easy to buy something I needed.
Tomorrow, I’m going to pour the booze down the sink and clean house. June 25 is my Amazon sobriety day.

Lots of Amazon sellers have their own sites, and will make a lot more if you buy directly from them.
I don't shop at Amazon and never have
