Jaysus, LEJ, just because I can't remember my ass from whatever the other thing was!!! Seriously, sorry about the misrecollection. The Missouri River story was a fine piece of work but it almost failed completely until you bailed it out with a reasonable ending.

Don't forget the marvelously intricate time-twisted plot of the steamboat Albert J. Hansell, or the Starship Mudcat, both rollicking fun. Any of these could stand a good hosing off of extraneous matter, though. :D
