Real-Life Weirdness

[Polydamas]

And the Icelanders just opened their first pagan temple in a thousand years. An Adad vs. Thor grudge-match?

The Malaysians have lost track of who owns three Boeing 747s. Someone who claims to be a pilot says that "those planes have been around since 2010."

Wow, that thing set off some sort of atavistic threat response in my hind brain.

In other weirdness:

Just critically failed an animal handling roll. Had my retired heading dog in the passenger side footwell of my work vehicle (Yamaha rhino) and got out to open a gate. She got out to have a wee and stood on the accelerator and managed to run me over.

So I just got run over by a dog. . . .
