I'm putting together:

The chapter in "History" where Applejack and Fluttershy take the train from Manehattan to Vanhoover--

With chapter 7:

Of "History" posted, I wanted to say a couple 'thank you's.

As with most things:

It's my own fault, I suppose. I heard the horror stories about Walmart spreading over the U.S. countryside like some vast retail form of kudzu, gobbling up the landscape and choking local businesses out of existence, and I just accepted them at face value. I mean, it wasn't as if there were any Walmarts around for me to look into.

Just a note:

Having watched the new episode:

Twice now, I'm prepared to say that I absolutely loved it--largely because I'm able to twist its events into supporting a theory I proposed just over a year ago in my EqD 5-star rated story "The Birth of Harmony." 'Cause nothing's more enjoyable that having one's biases confirmed, right?
