It’s Wednesday. Welcome to the mental roller-skating rink that is my mind–a constant changing of direction and a whole lot of noise. It’s time for random thoughts.

1. This week I thought I was going to bring some pain to the party on a side-trip. They didn’t even break a sweat. Now I will try harder ¹.
2. I’ve been filming a number local pastors, encouraging people to get vaccinated. Get the vaccine, people.
3. I’ve not written anything for The Darned Conspiracy for a few weeks. I think I’ve just needed a break.
4. The Phillies bullpen frightens me.
5. Why is so much of the United States infatuated with a death cult, masquerading as either faith or machismo?
6. “Are you fully vaccinated?” Is a question I’ve been asking folks when I show up to video the pastors. It’s so nice when they reply, “Yes.”
7. I’m about ready to test out my setup for Basic Fantasy RPG. When I started creating my sandbox world I had no idea how complicated it would be, and I’m not even automating most things! I may go back in and add things like automated ability checks or saving throws, but that’ll be in the future ².
8. There are many things I don’t understand, but willful stupidity is at the top of the list.
9. Is anyone else getting floored by allergies this season? It’s been awful for me.
10. Enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning, in a room where the only sounds are my fingers on the keyboard, the hum of the refrigerator, and a ticking clock. That’s peace.
