Let me know when you’re ready to hear about DHS and the DoD getting into a laser based shooting war.

Once again having my faith in humanity tested in the most asininely predictable ways possible.

I wish I could say I hadn’t seen this one coming but it was telegraphed a literal week in advance and you could watch it like a train wreck.

It’s a solid 7.5/10 Ubi adventure game with a Star Wars skin. Won’t set the world on fire, but it’s good at what it sets out to do.

I’ll note they don’t seem to have set any volume requirements on beers and/or tacos.

H.A. Brown Elementary School Mural By Skype a Scientist

Had our first group meeting yesterday with the H.A. Brown Principal & Nick (the artist!)

The school is psyched. I'm going to talk about pollinators next week, & have the kids vote on their favorite bug!

We have a wall!
We have a plan!
We just need a little more funding πŸ˜…

H.A. Brown Elementary School Mural By Skype a Scientist

A week ago I found out that the grant I was confident would fund our spring mural will not, bc we're 2 blocks too deep into Kensington. This STINKS.

This project rocks bc it's community driven, biodiversity-focused (& more! read on!)

We're raising money to make it happen

Analysis Paralysis - Gator Days

Characters

August - Alligator - A soft spoken single father who works in IT. Gustopher's dad.

Gustopher - Alligator - An easily excitable child who loves making friends. August's son.

Transcript

Panel 1

August and Gustopher are finishing up their grocery shopping. August is double checking their grocery list and Gustopher is taking this as an opportunity to ask for one additional item. They stand in front of a magazine rack that makes people ask "Wow, they still sell magazines? The only visible covers say "Hey! News" and "Aliens?"

August: That's everything on the list.

Gustopher: Can we get chips? They got new flavors.

August: One bag.

Panel 2

Gustopher runs to get some chips and faces a wall of choices. There's a wide variety of flavors. They include Pickle, Grape, Honey, Ham, Almond, Wasabi, Cool Blue, Mystery, Ghost, Chip, Heart Burn, Regret, and Licorice which is being blocked by Gustopher but you get to know it's there because you read the transcript.

Panel 3

Gustopher is paralyzed with indecision. The words of his father ring through his head.

ONE BAG

There's only one thing he can do.

Panel 4

Gustopher returns holding a bag of Barbecue flavored chips.

August: Barbecue? That's what you usually get.

Gustopher: It's easier this way.
