Just an aside to the wording.”——threw to the GROUND”. Why is it so often called ‘ the ground’ when it was the ‘floor’? They were inside and the ‘ground’ is outside.

This is a pet peeve of mine. Superfluous I know, but it always gets to me.

This was Montana so there's a good chance it was the ground.

Just kidding Montana, I love you guys.
