One more thought Ben, if you don't mind my giving you a suggestion. I get your stories on email and my link from Medium said "This story is way too long." (30 minutes read time.)

So I looked it up and various sources say to aim for 7 minutes read time --- 1,600 words. So my suggestion is to break it up into 4 or 5 posts and simply re-post it.

Actually my posts and many ppl I follow have posts of 4 or 5 minutes or shorter. I claim to be the "One Minute Geographer" but that seldom happens! LOL

Good luck, Jim .
