It was a busy day and I accomplished quite a lot of positive things. But the one that stands out is the single game of Fortnite where I both cleared my Weekly Quest list AND won with a sword.

Winter life on Vancouver Island sees a lot of rain.Yesterday, after what seemed like 40 days of rain, the skies parted long enough to show the sun still exists. Since it's back to rain today, this will have to serve as the last visible sunset of 2024.

This is about as high as the sun gets at this time of year in Victoria, Canada. Looking across the Juan de Fuca Strait at the Olympic Mountains of Washington, United States.

In my quest to catalogue every obscure board wargame, I posted an article on Wikipedia today about the very bad "The Civil War: The War That Pitted Brother Against Brother". Critics savaged the game, one of them calling it "worthless and stone stupid." Clearly this must be preserved for posterity.

I literally added a definition to the Wikipedia article on "dice pool" just this morning.

And so it begins: December 1's Beer Advent Calendar offering is Kevin Mc'Ale'ister American Pale Ale (Parallel 49 Brewing, Vancouver, 4.5% ABV). A hazy pale ale, with the typical nose of NW hops, a gentle mouthfeel and the usual citrus flavours. Nice but rather unremarkable. #beeradventcalendar
