Next on my to read list- Greg Egan‘s Perihelion Summer
I’ve enjoyed Egan since I picked up Perturbation City back in 1999 at the Uni of Western Australia bookstore. I’d never read sci-fi that was so hard on the Science piece before.

My first Secrets of Power deck build. Sly Moore yellow.
I’m just a kitchen table player so limited to the cards I get in my boosters. My son always plays Vader Command - very aggressive and lots of resource and card drawing. This deck held up pretty well winning 31/22. #swu

Just spent the morning walking around my small town and its neighboring village. Starting out with cool lovely fog and ending up in warm sunshine.

Found this bolt in the grass while around town today. It is extremely lightweight. Aluminum? Interesting notches on the end too

Apple pie season is here… today’s recipe had me brushing down the crust with heavy whipping cream, something I’d not done before.
