As our pony friends would say, “Let's not graze around the bush!”

Why does Hayate have a model truck on her desk?  Could it be a clue left by the author foreshadowing events in Chapter Eleven?  Is it possible that a truck could be the key tool to defeat the evil dragon?

I found an abandoned car seat

I saw this car seat next to O'Reilly Auto Parts on East Superior Street.

Flatcar hand brakes

I once talked to a man who claimed that flatcars don’t have hand brakes.  He claimed that during a summer job while in college, he had unloaded cargo from flatcars, and had not seen brakes on flatcars.  Yet, he also admitted to enjoying being a pathological (habitual) liar.

Well, here is a flatcar and it has a hand brake.

What I found in Kirby Student Center (KSC) UMD, Duluth, Minnesota

I’m grateful for my continued health, my King Manor apartment, and my friends.  I’m also grateful for my chance to restart my D&D campaign with One D&D in 2024.

Today, I saw the movie, “Wish”.

The art style is a 3-D computer graphics movie made to look as if it was a classic 2-D cell animated movie.

Brittany’s first D&D character

Brittany created her first D&D character, as practice as we both wait for the publication of One D&D.  Yes, I watched her roll, with my dice, her six D&D stats.  Her character does have a 17 strength stat.

My sharp-eyed readers will see that this character is an agent of the Harpers.  That means that my next D&D campaign will be in Ed Greenwood’s Forgotten Realms.  For their starting equipment, each non-magical item is either a gift from the Harpers or they already own that equipment as a part of growing up.

 

Moreover, each starting player character owns one minor magical weapon or tool as their family heirloom equipment.  Their family heirloom equipment reminds the players that their characters have their families to support them when they are in dealing with tough times.  Each and every player character also has a moral obligation to return their family heirloom equipment to the family elders, so it can be used by future generations of the family.

The Brewing Projekt Apollo Ale

Barb told me that she likes this type of ale - brewed with blood orange and honey.
