Allie #3 Editing...

I expect this to stay...

I knew most of what was on her sheet. There were a couple of questions about figuring the trajectory of a boulder thrown from a trebuchet, but since I didn’t ever expect to be storming a castle, I wasn’t worried about not knowing that one. I also had no idea how to make a bridge strong enough to hold a wagon of wool and a four-horse team.

I wasn’t planning on building bridges, either. But you never know. Maybe they would teach me that here, too.

Yum. I can just picture Allie contemplating a trebuchet! (And why doesn't spell-check recognize trebuchet! Illiterate computers.)

Yeah, I know, my spellcheckers are going nuts, too!
