New chapter

[profbutters]

 It's been a long time, I know, and there are many chapters I owe comments on.  But today I am giving two midterms, and I know my time will be limited after this.  So here is this transitional chapter:

Chapter 15.5: Goodbye To All That.

As an East Coaster, it took me forever to get used to the idea that the ocean was to the WEST of me. My parents said the same thing: people would ask where I was and they would say "30 miles west of Los Angeles" and correct themselves, "no, thirty miles EAST of Los Angeles." What they were really saying was "30 miles inland from large coastal city" (people from NJ are used to explaining distances from New York and Philadelphia.)
