As we move closer towards the end of this story, Popeye finds himself on the run and a wanted fugitive of all major federal law enforcement agencies.

I’m sure that I’m not the only one that feels relieved that this class is finally over with. I will agree though that I have learned many interesting techniques, and will probably use all of them in the future.
