Hmm. That's um... odd, like a triangle incision?

On the one hand, you want to ask why at the post surgery followup appointment.

On the other hand, maybe you don't.

I had laparoscopy 20 years ago. They poked 5 holes in me and ran a tube in my navel to "inflate me" so they could see better. And yeah, everything looked a bit, off after. The scaring and weirdness did go away.

Normally they do 4 holes, but added a fifth because my gall bladder wasn't cooperating.

30mm tall white metal model of a warrior in Saxon armour, carrying a shield on his left arm. his right hand is missing (cast separately!). he rests on a human hand wearing a replica of the Kingsmoor ring, a silver band embossed with runes.

Often, for undaunted courage, fate spares the man it has not already marked. (Just as often it casts his sword hand separately). Our fantastic new Beowulf model by Paul Muller - hopefully in the shop this weekend!

A black and white photo of Montana at his drawing table. Behind him, there is a large drawing of Archie on the wall.

Today is the birthday of artist Bob Montana (Oct. 23, 1920-Jan. 4, 1975), cocreator of Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, & more!

This is nothing new Scottie. Two words, French. Revolution. Greedy, shortsighted men.

Wow, the Dead played the Tower? Hell, I lived in Philly and only remember them at the Spectrum. That venue was awesome. Great acoustics. I would have looooved to have seen them there!

I swear, they don't have any original ideas. Everything they talk about doing comes right out of old issues of Popular Science, Popular Mechanics and 1950 science fiction short story magazines.

I chuckled when I read that because I though the kicker was going to be 'it wasn't plugged into the computer.'

Oh, its a thing too. I used to have a ritual. Fresh pizza on Saturday night and video rental, cold on Sunday morning for Star Trek: The Next Generation re-run.

This is the second time I've purchased what I thought were apple turnovers and they turned out to be cherry.

To be fair, I'm only mildly disappointed.

No doubt for an "Eat at the Armageddon Grill" sign.

In the #Roman world, roads & crossroads had their own guardian spirits - the Lares Viales (roads) & the Lares Compitales (crossroads). Travellers would offer them sacrifices in the hope of arriving & then returning home safely (travel was dangerous back then!) 🏺 #AncientBlueSky #MythologyMonday
