I had a fellow run into me from behind in a supermarket in his battle wagon. He was openly agressive and angry with me for not having seen him coming and for not getting out of his way. I was so nonplussed that I didn't even tell him to Foxtrot-Oscar. Still, on that day I was reminded that just because you're disabled, it doesn't make you a nice human. I've noticed him since, and 'he doesn't give an inch'.

In other news. Some things are sooooo dreadful that make games completely unplayable:

This reminds me of when mobile phones, PDAs and feature phones got polyphonic / sound file ring tones.

I had bought an XDA 2 (a rebaged HTC model) and excitedly put it to use...only to be utterly horrified by the utterly moronic 'ring tones' that sounded like something from childrens tv. So utterly set on getting a normal sounding phone I came across sites a bit like this one


to make my very expensive PDA sound like a device a grown up might buy.

I had to get the right tone, because I considered the XDA broken otherwise (as in me snapping the thing in half when the phone went off playing some crazed Spongebob guitar solo).

None, sadly.
No response to messages from a RL friend of his, suspicion that the Hat has his badgers getting stuphz at the pearly gates these days.

It's horrible when that happens. A good friend moved to Ireland a few years back, and we stayed I touch routinely if not often. And then. Nothing. Phone disconnected, not answering emails, and sadly I have no third person to approach, nor even, stupidly, his address (he'd not long settled in his new place, so there was 'always time'). And for Ireland his name is like Dave Smith is here.... so.....

It's the not knowing. I don't mind if he wants nothing more to do with me, but, I'd just like to know that he's okay. And I likely never will. Horrible feeling.

Which makes me realise that I must write a list of 'who to tell that I'm dead'. Nah. There's always time....

Just spent my Sunday working on my latest colony system. 6200 tons of steel to go, or nine runs in my T9.

Ralph's Communist Trailer Parks, LLC is just about done. After this is finished, I think I'm going exploring for a while.

Note: Friday, St. Louis took a direct tornado hit. Estimated $1 billion USD damage. Right now, 0218 CDT Monday 19 May 2025, there is another wall on the scope. It should hit right at the start of Monday Morning Rush Hour...
