Yes,Ski, they ran the first defensive play with only 10 men as a tribute to Sean Taylor who was killed last week in Florida.

Yikes Mr C! I've missed a lot! All those updates are so great! The story is wonderful (okay, one "Mary" that doesn't belong in this last update), as usual I'm impressed with your imagination! Keep up the good work and please don't make us wait so long! Vicki

FF - where can I sign up to get one of those suits? As usual, the story is great and the pictures wonderful! I especially like the craft disappearing over the city! And the representation of the AI is very flashy! One question though, How come whenever a guy represents AI he uses a female body/voice?

I really am having a difficult time with this conspiracy stuff. Having worked for the government ( USAF) for 34 years I know the US government does stupid things but for people to believe that it would crash planes into buildings is beyond incredulous! I have friends who work at the Pentagon, believe me, there was a plane that crashed into the building! As for Mr. Maher, well good for him! I'm glad he kicked those people out! Calling themselves "Truthseekers", they're nothing but rabble trying for their 15 seconds of fame!

I never even suspected that he was gay - of course, I'm oblivious most of the time any way (like I have no cue what DT's reference to Hogwarts means - NO! Don't tell me, I can tell from the reactions I don't want to know!). Furthermore, I don't see what difference it makes. I can understand JKR outing him because she wants the films to stay true to her vision, but his sexual orientation has no bearing on "Harry's" story. Besides, he 'dies' in The Half Blood Prince anyway..... (Sorry if I spoiled the book for anyone)

Yikes! FF what is going on there? I'm loving this story , please keep going! I do have one nit pick - "I wonder if she's pregnant?" Pleassssssssse! Males! Did it even occur to him that she was just concerned about him and not hormonal in any way?

FF, I'm so glad you were able to update again! Whew! Now what? As an observation, it seems like 'bad guys' are the same everywhere!

Hi Mr. C, sorry I haven't commented in a while, just kinda blue so i didn't feel like writing anything (although I have kept up with the updates - well, all but the last!). Something about that city, it almost glows it's so colorful! And I do love the dragon statue! It's always more interesting when the hero/heroine have special powers! What else can she do?

They'd be worth more than a cent in the end.quote> I still get two dollar bills when I take my cans and bottles to the recycle center. Those and 50 cent pieces! I make a point of trying to give exact change when I pay for things.

I had recently retired and was still getting up early (I live on the west coast), and turned on the local news but the national news cast was on and I didn't understand what was going on (I'm not the brightest bulb when I first wake up). As I became more aware as to what was happening, the 2nd plane crashed into the other tower. Then they mentioned that the Pentagon had been hit also. I called one of my friends from work (when the Air Force closed McClellan AFB where I worked some of our people went to the Pentagon to work) to ask her who all had gone to the Pentagon. I found out latter that one of my dear friends worked in the office next to the ones that got hit. Fortunately she had gone to a meeting in another part of the building. My little dog, Ginger, had just come home the day before from a week at Doggie hospital (she'd had stomach cancer and was having trouble recovering from the anesthesia) so the three of us (Fred and Ginger and I) spent the rest of the day cuddled together on the sofa in front of the TV in the den tears streaming down my face. I'll never forget seeing people jump from the buildings before they stopped showing it. I can't imagine trying to decide which way to die - either burning or jumping. I pray for the families of the victims.

I really don't have anything to say, your update left me speechless (a very rare occurrence!) The Black Knight is a her, well that explains everything....

Whew Mr. C, I was seriously beginning to worry about you, since you hadn't updated in such a long time. (or is that 'beginning to seriously worry'?) I was wondering if you had floated away in the flooding back there in the Midwest..... More dessert? If you must..... Ah Ha! I knew the 'black knight' wasn't bad!

FF, I'm so confused, everything that happens makes me wonder more and more "how did they get out of the mess they're in? As usual, your pictures are top rate and the story just keeps us hopping! Keep up the good work, just please, please try to not take so long between updates!

Wow, that green stuff is the ugliest green! It is a really sick color (and not in a good way sick!) looks posionious...

Mr. C, this desert is getting so tedious! I have to make sure I have a bottle of water when I search for your CJ. Move it along now....

Monoliths and monkeys throwing poo? Okay, Mr C. I know it's very hot there but I think you're in serious trouble! Here's a thought, try writing about someplace cool and comfortable and maybe that will affect your heat wave?

Garis is so practical, wondering about the "Black Knight" in his black armor! Are we sure he is a bad guy? After all, some of us wear black all the time but are not bad people, we just don't like to wear colorful things. I'm beginning to think he is acting more like a guardian than a menace....

Oh, MrC, you are such a tease! All these mysterious goings on and no explanations for anything! (Am I whining? I think I am, sorry!) Hurry with the next update, remember I'm an old person and I could expire from the stress of waiting!

What an update! First, let me say my heart goes out to the families of the people who lost their lives in the collapse of the bridge. I've read some of the comments of the people who survived and as usual, the minute the tragedy happened there were people trying to help each other to safety. It warms my heart that they just do what needs to be done without thinking about it. Second, to your explanation of how you created this most marvelous CJ. As I've mentioned before, your writing is what keeps me coming back for more but honestly, FF, your imagination is what caught me in the first place! And that imagination is evident in not only the writing but in the creative way you used not only SimCity but the Sims! "Who'd a thunk it", that you could combine these two 'games' to come up with such an interesting and entertaining story! With every chapter and explanation my admiration and wonder grows! All I can say is "Thank you so very much for putting the time and effort into this creative exercise and keep sweeping!" Vicki

Wow Mr C, someone else from the "earth" village? I hope this guy helps our Heroes, he certainly sounds friendly enough. What a lot of work you did to get that nice cemetery! See ya, Vicki

Wow, look at all the updates you snuck in when I wasn't looking! I'm to overwhelmed to comment (and I'm eating lunch!) See ya, Vicki

The Old Man isn't going with them? Who will guide our heroes? You mean they'll have to guide themselves? On another note, computers can be such a PITA! Loved the spotlight effect on the 'house on the rock'! See ya the next time you post an update, Vicki

Hah, you said you'd answer questions! Still a good update, keep up the good work!

I'm with "TBFKA Evil Muzz" on this one - get out while the getting is possible! (Lovely sunset by the way Mr. C!)

Good old Stan..... So, is this our hero's quest? to find Stan and make him fix the black hole? Sounds like their (and your) work's cut out for them! Good luck finishing fixing up your new computer!
