I remember when we on the East Coast experienced an earthquake on the board together in real time.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yeah, there was an actual palpable earthquake in the Boston area a couple years ago, and I was working in Norwood which has some considerable bedrock foundation, so I didn't get to feel the earth (slightly) move. Foo.
The closest I ever get is being stopped in traffic on top of a small drawbridge near the Museum of Science (a very common route for getting downtown from here in North Camberville) and feeling it rock slightly.
Just not the same.

I also didn't notice that there was another earthquake this morning. Huh.

I was out walking the dog, didn't notice it at all.

Oh, Mary Oliver died.
RIP
"Poppies" by Mary Oliver
The poppies send up their
orange flares; swaying
in the wind, their congregations
are a levitation
of bright dust, of thin
and lacy leaves.
There isn't a place
in this world that doesn't
sooner or later drown
in the indigos of darkness,
but now, for a while,
the roughage
shines like a miracle
as it floats about everything
with its yellow hair.
Of course nothing stops the cold,
black, curving blade
from hooking forward-
of course
loss is a great lesson.
But also I say this: that light
is an invitation
to happiness,
and that happiness,
when it's done right,
is a kind of holiness,
palpable and redemptive.
Inside the bright fields,
touched by their rough and spongy gold,
I am washed and washed
in the river
of earthly delight-
and what are you going to do-
what can you do
about it-
deep, blue night?

If the game gets developed and is a hit, the bomb squad adventure should become part of its story.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm sad about Oliver. Thanks for posting her poems. I lent a volume of her work to a friend recently and now of course I want it back so I can read all those poems. I'll have to be content with her other works on my shelf.
Sorry about headaches and nausea, best of luck to those having testing or other medical encounters, HBD to Laura's elder son, and may the video do its job, David.

I just watched a woman ladle two kinds of soup onto her salad. Like, on top of it. Same bowl. I'm baffled.
