Minor liner notes on Volume 8

1 – Only in the Bay could you have two groups, each with their own misspelling of derelicts.
2 – I try to decode all types of acronyms, backronyms, and initialisms. As far as I can tell, DGSB just stands for the duo's literal initials. Daniel Green and Shaun Bivens.

Look folks, you can put quotes 'round those footnotes.
