Well, after I'm done with it, it's unrecognicable anyways. This was just the start .

Fair enough. I bow to your superior map manipulation skills. When you're done with Iceland, its own mother won't recognize it.

The only problem: I know exactly where my car was that time and it sure as hell wasn't on that road. It was on a parking lot at my workplace, right below my window.

I considered sending an angry letter demanding to know who was driving my car and why, or some reprimend for these blatant lies that I'd have been driving there...
I suspect the system in Germany is a little more reliable in its license plate identification, but then I am not a "customer" of toll collect.

And she'll cry into her drink for the loss of her child.

Sorry, not quite sure where that came from.

Hey, look! Bunnies!

I remember my very first map making.

4th grade.

We were learning how colors represent geographical conditions / environments. So what the teacher had us do was put a bit of brown paint, yellow paint, green paint etc.... on a paper then carefully fold it.

This created our "island" map that we needed to then fill in with cities and names of mountains etc....


Sadly, it was at the hieght of my "I love Hulk" days. There was Hulkville, Hulktown, Hulkcity, Hulkington, Hulk this and that. I have gotten much better and more creative since.

Wolverine town, Wolverinecity....

Buried my car in my drive way this past weekend. I had to be towed out. I got a few dozen wood planks and built a platform wihich I now park my mud covered car on. Oh the best- the mud on it has frozen and to remove it requires water which will freeze so I may have that mud on it until April.... you know...Mud Season.

Sadly.... I do.

My parents brought me up to love books.

My mother the books you learn from (history and paranormal) and my father (nature and the kind of books one has to be 18+ to buy)

I got a phone call from the school earlier today. The wife and I need to have a sit down with Tim. Today his class was going to the Elderly homes in the area to share food and sing carols.

He decided not to tell us and hide the permission slip. When the teacher asked him for it he made it clear he didn't want to go.


Its going to be a long few weeks before X-mas at this rate with him.

On the lighter side....


I finally got my DnD animated series from the 80's. I've only gotten to see the first disk and a few episodes on the second but many revelations have come to me.....

1) Shackled City imagery came from "Servant of Evil"

2) Marvel Comics owned the right to the DnD series?!?

3) Just how much the game has changed from 1st edition to 3.5 edition as for creature appearance and use.

4) Warduke should have gotten more exposure.

Ditto. I just don't have the space 'em. I do not desire to spend money on books that I'm only going to read a couple of times.

This is why I want a KindleKindle so badly. Of course I'm not going to be buying one until the second generation kindle becomes available.
