    Here’s my OTS. “Nick looked down into the clear, brown water, colored from the pebbly bottom, and watched the trout keeping themselves steady in the current with wavering fins.”

  • Pretentious guests!

    Great concept. Poor selection of guests. Quasi-racist, pretentious, self-absorbed, stupidly cunning, for the most part. O, Hermes, what a waste! Hemingway would have hated them.
