Box set of the first four Logs, Christmas present from my older cousin. Read them over and over, loved them. Didn't realize they were based on the Animated Series till much later. The different cover on the fourth did sorta bug me though ;)

Red slip case box set of the first four Star Trek Logs by Alan Dean Foster, three generally white spines, and one outlier purple spine on the fourth.

Despite what is happening -- well, everywhere -- there is still some good to be found around here. Finished bag 7 of 30, recognizable shape forming. #Lego #EnterpriseD

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, or Transformers.

A squat walking robot, a drone from Silent Running (1972). One of Huey, Dewey, or Louie.

Social media sucks tonight (every night?) so time to get off and do something enjoyable. How about a beer and starting #TheFoldedSky by #ElizabethBear? Yes! The third White Space novel I've been waiting for.

A pint glass of American pale ale to the left of a large format paperback copy of a book titled The Folded Sky by Elizabeth Bear, featuring a large alien construct in space with several much smaller ships in the area on the cover.

Winter is coming. Put up the Christmas lights today, traditionally after Thanksgiving but next weekend the weather will be less than ideal for ladders. Won't turn on till then though. Now relaxing with a proper #stout. #NorthHigh #FilthyMcNasty

Holy moly! Central Ohio! Northern lights! Super faint to the eye, suburban light pollution sucks, but visible if you stand in the chill long enough to adjust to the dark. Makes a great phone camera photo though.

Pink-ish and green-ish Northern Lights visible over the silhouettes of trees, from Central Ohio.

If you see this, quote post with a famous landmark you've seen. Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, USA. That's me and the family standing under it, June 2023.
