And so we come to the conclusion of this story. Don't worry, Scruffy didn't rough up the salesbird too badly...
Things should be getting back to normal around here from now on, so the major delays and upsets to the update schedule shouldn't happen again (at least not for a long while). Thanks again for bearing with me through all of this and I look forward to entertaining you all with many more (promtly delivered) stories in the future!
