Day 100. Made it so far!

It seems very appropriate to have Day 100 of the project coming exactly the day before classes start! So, I don't have a lot to write today, except to say: YAY, I made it!

And, thanks to a Nigerian folktale I was working on this morning, I did manage to stump Google Socratic by asking about bush cats! Details: Zuboff, Chapter 4: How Google Got Away With It.

And the story was such a great find, too; I recognized it right away as being parallel to the Anansi story about a chain of victims that I was working on a year ago and, kudos to Martha Beckwith: she had the Nigerian citation in her notes to the Anansi story: Brer Anansi Borrows Money.
And here's a bush cat:
