Possible Typos

“I’m not getting anything at all now,” Rochelle reported. “We’re dead in the water up there, Rhi. He’s got us.”

I think it should be We're dead in the water up here.

Rochelle and Rhianna like stared at Annette Hewer.

Not sure if this is a mistake or not, but the like seems awkward.

“What on earth crawled up AlpoWoof’s butt and died?”
Not sure if that if a really weird typo or a joke I don't get. Probably the latter.

I like it whenever Cascadia makes an appearance. I'm from Portland myself, so I guess it must feel like familiar territory or something.
