Light over the Ranges

[Joseph T]

Was particularly lit up by Tim's 3 part idea about light.

I also think this first section in many ways will explore "light" in  
terms of three specific ways: "light" in terms of weight/aeronautics  
(e.g., the Chums); "light" in terms of visibility/vision/ 
enlightenment (e.g., Merle Rideout); and "light" as a verb, say in  
terms of explosives (e.g., Webb Traverse).

and by robin's note on range as traverse: to range across .  The  
lives of the Traverses are certainly about to be fully lit.

I thought of  the coincident lighting from Tesla's experiment and the  
July 4 lightning storm and Webb Traverse's lighting of the dynamite.   
I think back to Ben Franklin in M&D, high on coffee and lightning  
buzzes, abusy lighting the fuse for 1776. Who will control the primal  
forces, will it be free for all,   tribal sharing on a larger scale  
or will it be a free-for-all, and devil take the hindmost.
