Huck & Moses and the Bullrushers

[Michael Bailey]

really does look like a fantastic article.  I am going to have to get
it this weekend when I have time to read it.

It looks as if HF has a Mosaic plague-enumeration scheme nearly as
devious as the religious holiday scheme in GR

also, I was thinking about Tom's gang of robbers meeting up and nobody
knew what "ransomed" meant.
when you get into considering "ransomed" you are treading close to
holy ground as well
