My wife comes back to the car after checking us in to the hotel while I waited with the kids. "So that's what kind of place this is." "What do you mean?" "The kind of place where the grandparents are our age and everyone is wearing a sweatshirt with a bar logo." #northdakotakeepingitreal

These night shots are always cool.
These night shots are always cool. But there's something on this one that immediately stood out to me: Matthew Nelson, notice Williston and the oil patch are pretty much the widest lighted area between Dallas and Los Angeles. Crazy. Originally shared by NASA Traveling for #Thanksgiving? It’s a time when the nation’s transportation network is clogged with travelers. According to the American Automobile Association, an estimated 43.4 million Americans will travel 50 miles (80 kilometers) or more during Thanksgiving week, with the average round trip being 600 miles (1,000 kilometers). More than 90 percent of them will use cars or trucks, while the rest will ride planes or trains. The imprint of the transportation web becomes easier to see at night. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP (National Polar-orbiting Partnership) satellite acquired two nighttime images early on Oct. 1, 2013, for this natural-light, mosaic view of the continental United States

After last week's GI Joe comic panel posting marathon, I decided to buy the first trade of Special Missions. Why Special Missions? It was bi-monthly and I only bought a few issues that I can remember. They're also stand alone stories that make it easy to review since story continuity doesn't matter. Issue 0 was the back half of the double-sized Issue 50 of Real American Hero. Trotskyist terrorists from San Francisco hijack a Russian airliner in order to crash it into Soviet chemical weapons factory. The resulting gas cloud will kill millions. Stalker and Hawk storm their offices while Beach Head, Flint, and Lady Jaye secretly board the plane while it refuels. In this story we see Larry Hama's love of weird political organizations, long revolutionary insults, and gadgets. Bad Guys: Leon Trotsky Brigade of the Fourth International. Running Dog insult: Yes. Cool toy(s): Taser, dead-man switch. Bad-Ass Civilian: US chess champ on his way to Moscow for tournament who stands

"...and when this magic bullet went into the president's chest, it had to make a sharp turn in order to exit his body from the neck. Then it would have had to turn right, then left, and somehow have enough energy to hit the governor in the front seat. Clearly the assassination was a conspiracy." "Thank you, Daria. That gave me chills."
Parent Post
Parent Post My mom just bought the book The Day the Crayons Quit for Coop. A boy opens his desk to get out his crayons and finds a stack of letters from them. Each crayon has written a letter complaining about something hilariously color related. Red is sick of working on holidays. Beige feels unappreciated. Black is tired of just outlining things that are then colored by other crayons. Pink has never been used even once. Yellow and Orange are both convinced they are the proper color of the sun, and have proof. etc, etc. This is our family's favorite book right now.

Food post
Food post Waffle taco. Eggs and bacon and maple syrup folded in a waffle. Just as excellent as you'd expect, but next time I'll use some kind of preserves as the sweet, not syrup. The bacon and eggs are salty and call for more fruity sweetness.
By sheer coincidence, I'm making waffles right now. I'm doing this.

Yesterday's random encounter roll on the "temperate suburbs" table was 1d8 wild turkeys. There were 5 of them, this is the best picture I got. Watching these huge birds walk and run practically puts you in the cretaceous period. I have no trouble imagining that theropods and ornithomimids moved almost exactly like these guys.

Idea that won't leave my head now that I put these two words together: Cowboys of Carcosa Back east there are cities, steam trains, and other modern wonders. Inland to the west are farms and rural communities as far as the eye can see. Then the mountains. Massive, skyscraping, un-passable mountains. But why go over when you can go through ? Dynamite has done the work and now settlers are moving west, bringing the steam engine through the tunnels. The land on the other side is expansive and fertile. Herds of huge reptiles (some very dangerous!) share the plains with giant bison and mammoths. But, scattered here and there are ancient, abandoned cities of black basalt. What lived here in prehistoric times? You're in luck buckaroo. The rails are hiring scouts. And the ranchers want some of those big three-horned lizards for steaks. Rumors say the cities are full of gold. Yep. A man could make a name for himself in the west.
