I'm still reading. Still liking it. I really want to sit down and just finish it, but can't right now.
Skink has already administered some of that justice he is known for. Skink's friend Jim shows up on his Harley to sweep up, as usual. Jim is there to pick up Ann who has just spent a little time with Skink. (Ann is a character we like and who is getting past having helped Skink get even with somebody who deserved it.)
Jim gives Ann a phone number to use if ever she really needs help. Ann says that Skink is a lunatic and she never wants to see him again.
Jim tells Ann, "He's got a bad temper and a long memory, but he's completely sane." He then says, "My advice, don't use that phone number unless you're absolutely out of options." (If I were an English major, I would say that is an example of the writer using foreshadowing.) When Skink appeared so early in the book, I thought maybe he was there just for those few pages. But now, I think it looks like he will be back. Well.....if I know foreshadowing when I see it.

(Judy, when I read that line here about how you almost did the hair flip right in your own living room, I laughed out loud. I completely understood.)
