You may wish to read the story completely before exploring the links provided. Or you may wish to visit each link as you read the story and then return to the story after viewing it. If you choose this alternative, your web browser will open a new window each time you click on a link. Simply close the browser window to return to the story. KEEP IN MIND that many of the links are direct pathways to awesome pictures.
Awesome pictures take awhile to load.
If you are in a hurry, and do not have the time to look at all the supporting links, bookmark those that take some time to load and come back to them later. We have given you lots of links, so a few broken ones should not disrupt the flow of the story. Some of the links that SEEM broken may NOT be broken at all. Sometimes websites are down for upgrades or servicing. Sometimes the servers are down for a period of time and then come back on-line later.
