I am LOVING this story. One very small quibble, though . . . in Kansas, alfalfa is not sprouts. Alfalfa is hay. (It's grown to cut for hay to feed cattle.) The two words are almost used as synonyms.
Your Lana characterisation is interesting. I don't remember the part about Lois claiming to be LoDa's best friend--I'll have to go back and re-read the earlier chapters to find it. Don't make us wait too long for the next chapter, please!
