Tuesday, February 20th, 2018\u00a0 —> 0\u02daC \/ +32F with light rain @8:15 pm in Atlantic Canada —> It’s Kathy Krafchick’s Birthday { & Patty Hearst’s too } —> Happy Birthday to both of them { Not that either one will likely see this … } —<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Starry

– The Stars Returned – & the night sky got dark. Kaeren was there to see it. –<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

— The screenshot of Kaeren gazing at the starry sky might be too dark to show up well here. I may have to preview this and then mess with the screenshot.<\/p>\n

— A lot has happened since the last time I posted here. Kaeren was really busy – planted a lot of flowers, brought Springtime to DelVahria and to Keltic Vale.<\/p>\n

— { & Out of Character -} The dark night skies went away and haven’t come back. We read notes and discovered that that could be because of racial issues. Races that can see in the dark might keep the darkness –\u00a0 and the stars – away.<\/p>\n

— & Since I’ve been back { as ‘TaleRocker’ } we managed to light our streetlamps, get our waterfalls to look something like waterfalls, dropped a large rock across the river at the border between Keltic Vale and DelVahria – lost a couple water troughs – And we think we figured out why a lot of the plants that Kaeren planted kept disappearing { apart from the obvious – Forest elves picking them, taking the plants home and transplanting them – } And we think we might have solved that little problem – But we’ll have to hang on and see what happens next –<\/p>\n

— After the last time Kaeren got to go star-gazing night hasn’t fallen in, jeeze, weeks in this dimension – two days back on the Earth we came from – Time passes differently here –<\/p>\n

\"Dark

– And we’ve seen some dark clouds lately – { Did have to mess with the exposure on this one. } –<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

— & We don’t know what’s coming here – none of us have been here long enough to know if they have a monsoon season or if hurricanes come this far inland –<\/p>\n

— So, um, We’ll keep you posted –<\/p>\n

— { & because I knew and liked Kathy Krafchick – an intelligent, sensitive, artistic young woman a bit younger than me – when Patty Hearst was kidnapped – that effected me deeply. I tried praying that she’d come back to her family safely – and because I’d already heard of the ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ {{ I am 28% Viking – but that has nothing to do with what my ‘radar’ picks up – all sorts of absurd information finds its way into my brain, mind & soul (?) and stays there – }} [ shudder ] — I thought the justice system failed Patty Hearst and all of us when they sent her to jail for not being strong enough (or stupid enough) to resist her captors { and maybe get herself killed. ((?)) }<\/p>\n

\"Indigo

– “Indigo Skies At Sunset?” – The orange glow around the mountains might be a temperature inversion effect? –<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

— I don’t know, maybe it came out all right in the end — ???<\/p>\n
