I have to admit, I was kinda hoping that Rita would get hurt, just a little. Honestly, any reporter whose reaction to a pitched battle is to ask an adrenaline-soaked combatant, "How do you feel about surviving?" is a reporter who needs a spanking. Maybe her editor will manage to get some news out of her... Or maybe her editor will assign a real NEWS reporter to the next story. I've known too many responsible newspersons to find Skeeter anything other than contemptable.
Susan is getting stronger and more interesting by the moment.

Well cheer up, the battles aren't over yet. Rita ain't out of the woods yet... (Of course that guy trying to get into the woods proved that that can be just as dangerous.)~Jim
