"Let’s hope it isn’t a bad omen!" Texas-sized Chow Winkler scratched a broad swath of forehead spread beneath his ten-gallon hat. "Lake Disappointment, huh.

It’s very sensitive, you know!" The speaker, Dr. Clarke MacIllheny, was making every attempt to keep his voice firm and confident, but the tension was unmistakable. His life and career had led him to this moment. Everything was on the line, awaiting the touch of a button.
