Daddy John: Stephen Orange is away, participating in a dig sponsored by the S.C.S.F.W.F. (Sasha Consortium Searching for Weird Fossils). He's sending back his first report.
Stephen Orange: Every scientist/archaeologist has been assigned his or her own tent. This is my little home for the duration of the dig.
Stephen: Everyone's tent was given a nickname. Mine was wordplay based on my name.
"Casa de Naranja" means "House of the Orange."
Stephen: >Whew< It's been a long day, we searched and dug from sun-up to sundown.
Stephen: >Aaahhh< That's better. Nice to have a bit of rest before dinner.
Stephen: I'd best call home. I know Nicholas Sahara will be pretending not to be worrying.
Stephen: Hello, Nicholas.
Nicholas Sahara: Well, Great Richard the III's ghost! Hullo Stephen! How are you?
How is the dig going?
Stephen: It's going pretty well. I haven't had any luck as of yet, but I'm close to
finding something big...I'm quite sure. I just know it!
Nicholas: You can feel it in your bones, eh? >Heh-heh<
Stephen: Er, yes, quite.
Nicholas: Stephen, Peter would like to say hello.
Pete Dakota: Hi Stephen Orange! We all miss you! 'Specially Mikey and Connor!
Stephen: Tell them I miss them, too. I'll be home before too long.
Stephen: Nicholas, they're ringing the bell for dinner. I have to go now.
Nicholas: Please ring again with updates. Good luck, old bean!
Stephen: >Sigh< Soon, surely? Very soon. I can indeed feel it 'in my bones.'
Maybe tomorrow...?
TO BE CONTINUED...

I was wondering how SO was doing with the dig. I sure do hope he finds something so he hasn't wasted his time...although the pursuit of scientific knowledge is never time wasted. So, I gather Holly Belle didn't see the wedding dress and Tuxedo for sale on eBay?!
Stephen Orange looks like he's settled in but working hard! I do hope he makes that big discovery after all his hard work.
Love how clear his reception on his laptop was out there in the wilds of..... show the advances in tech these days.
His tent looks nice and waterproof and nice to know they are fedding him..
we are looking forward to his next report.
This is so exciting! I hope he'll dig out something interesting soon.
The tent looks nice and cosy, and nothing like some outdoor adventures....
