a couple of photos, some burros, The Expanse

I was so thrilled to be using the old giant bubble maker on Saturday that I took it out early on Sunday morning to use up some of the extra soapy water, and Wakanomori took some photos. Here's one:



Here's a picture of Koffing I drew for L as a thank-you for the Pokemon card he gave me. KOFFING!!



And here's something fun: replacing "Bureau" with "Burro" for federal agencies. I thought they should be illustrated, so I found some images:

Burro of Land Management

Burro of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms

Census Burro

Hey, we've been watching The Expanse in very slow time on DVDs from Netflix. I'm in the middle of season 3 right now. I've liked aspects of several episodes a whole lot, but S3 ep. 11 was the first that made me actually cheer and clap. It was when [in white for spoilers; highlight to see] Ashford powers up the Behemoth's gravity-producing drum and then broadcasts to the Earth and Mars vessels, telling them they can bring their wounded there:

I have a message for all the ships in this infernal place. We are all victims of the same catastrophe. But the Behemoth is unique. This ship, my ship, can create spin gravity. So I am able to offer it to all of you. Bring your wounded here so that they may heal. You will be welcome.

SWEET.

(Tangentially, I had never thought about internal injuries in 0 gravity. Interesting/awful!)
