>> Okay, I looked it up and it's plausible. The Missouri and the Platte are shipping rivers at least to some extent, barge traffic is up in L-Nebraska, and T-America does more with water shipping because it's more sustainable than trucking. <<
Cool! Guess the impoundments and reservoirs have upgraded "Ol' Misery" from its Mark Twain-era description of "too thick to drink, too thin to plow". Not sure what Boss White might be shipping by water, but I bet there's some stuff that would be better moved that way.

Well, pirate bands and gangs are both families of choice, and being accepted into either means a lot and is hard to escape. But...

That's what he'd like, but if something comes up that Shiv's talents would be a big help in handling, Boss White seems astute enough to change his mind.
Tell you what -- if this would help you make a bingo on the Pirate Fest card, go ahead and ask Shiv whether he's up to the challenge. Otherwise, let's wait until next year and follow it then.
