Done with chapter 3

I made some severe cuts to Ch. 3 for awhile this morning and decided to leave it behind for now. I'm going to let my reader help me figure it out. On to Ch. 4, renewing my goal of quick improvements at a rate of one chapter per day through Dec. 19. Hit jobs.

I did bring the length down a fair chunk. Let's see, it's minus 22 pages over the first three chapters, a little short of my goal of average minus 8 per chapter.
