Ask her about the page. I'm thinking that may have something to do with her behavoir. Unless she's lovesick or something...

Am I missing something with the "frog" reference, or is that just a recurring typo?
We've talked about "fog" in some of our spec and Sam used the term, but the reply and the topic of this thread both use the term "frog"

Seemed to me when I read this, Driz just read Sam's message wrong.

I could be wrong though.

Good eyes Rogi. I read it as frog too. The thing is the brain seems to want to say frog instead of fog
when preceded with an adjective like grumpy. Who ever heard of a grumpy fog. But grumpy frog sounds normal.

Even after you pointed it out, my brain still wants to say frog. Could this be a hint showing us how we are missing things.
There is something about how we can read words by only seeing the first and last letters regardless how the inner letters are arranged.
I believe that's what has happened here.

Driz, assuming you copied then pasted the above message you got from Sam.

If so, Sam says:

I was pretty sure it was a typo, but again, after our spec on fog a couple of times and it being a fair odd choice of words on Sam's part, I didn't want to let it slip by.

Do you think she's post a copy of the page somewhere?

I don't like that Dobbs gets sick and then Sam does. Might be another way for Marzent to control people.

So far it looks like Peter got sick first then Dobbs then Sam.

So Peter must be the common connection.

He got sick just after being in the Pine Barrens on the Jersey Devil hunt when he visted the burnt Library building but Dobbs didn't. Then Dobbs gets sick at the time of the Council Meeting. Now Sam this past weekend.

Maybe, we need to find out what all Peter came in contact with out there in the Barrens other than just railroad tracks.
