Your review was quite helpful and led to several fixes.
Thanks!
I agreed with everything you said. It's amazing how it takes someone else to point out a wart before you actually see it. A golden example is the "speaking about" thing you mentioned. I never saw it before, and now that I really look at it, those words don't work together. Great point.
Another thing you had pointed out what is probably an obscure reference for most people: "blood and sand," in the context intended, signifies recognition of overwhelming force. It comes from the days when ships battled it out with broadsides of cannon fire. The decks of a particularly mangled ship would get slick with the blood of blown apart sailors. Sand was used to add grip. If you saw a lot of blood and sand, you were in pretty dire shape.
