It gets worse if you consider where Lines 1 and 3 need to go.

The first one is more likely, based on the orientation of the Subway Map. But, either way, it don't make any sense! 6/...
The same Caldera County Region map, with the red line for Line 2 of the Subway, and purple and blue lines representing Line 1 and Line 3. This version assumes Laharlem, Caldera City, Basaltimore, Moppingham, Sprayers, and Blemishigan are all to the South. This version is more likely, based on the orientation of the Subway Map. The same Caldera County Region map, with the red line for Line 2 of the Subway, and purple and blue lines representing Line 1 and Line 3. This version assumes Laharlem, Caldera City, Basaltimore, Moppingham, Sprayers, and Blemishigan are all to the North.

According to the Subway map, the subway goes... oh dear.

Why does it cross the water four times? Why is it all over the place? 5/...
The map of the Caldera County Region from PWS2, with a red line on it representing where Line 2 of the Subway should go. It's... all over the place, including crossing the river four times. It's a mess.

This is the region map of Caldera County.

First question: Where is Suds East? It's supposed to be between Lubri City and Sparkleton. 4/...
The map of Caldera County, covered in job markers, from PowerWash Simulator 2.

* Bucketon
* Spongely
* Lubri City (connects with the 3 Line)

This month’s pair arrived today. They’ve called it “Froget Me Not” and I feel I need to tell @seananmcguire.bsky.social about them. :)
A pair of trunk underwear sitting on the bed. The design on the underwear is Australian Aboriginal inspired art in bands of yellow, red and blue, and it’s covered in frogs. FROGS!!!

Aldi continue to amaze me with the things that turn up in the special aisle.

Here we have: DC Meercat garden ornaments. This week at Aldi! 🤣
A collection of Aldi stuff for sale, focussing mostly on the garden ornaments (like garden gnomes) that are anthropomorphic meercats wearing DC superhero and supervillan costumes. A close up of two of the DC Superhero meercats. Batmeercat and Supermeercat, wearing Batman and Superman outfits. Yes, they are as weird as this description makes them sound.

I’m sure @terryandrob.bsky.social , @goodomenshq.bsky.social and @colleendoran.bsky.social are all happy to hear that the packing for my copy of the Good Omens Graphic Novel is being suitable recycled.
In the foreground is the Good Omens Graphic Novel by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and Colleen Doran. In the background is a fluffy tabby and white cat, sitting on the cardboard packaging the graphic novel came in.

Six images of Chief O'Brien and Dr Bashir from Star Trek: Deep Space 9 sitting at Quark's bar. B: I've been feeling like I don't belong. That I don't deserve being where I am and what I do. O: Ah. The old imposter syndrome. I've been there. O: The key is to remind yourself that *everyone else is an imposter, too*. O: And you damn well deserve your share in whatever scam they are all running! B: Did you... did you just fix impostor syndrome... with *spite?!* O: You wouldn't *believe* how many things I fix with spite. The last panel is the two of them bringing their drinks together in a toast, before drinking them.

Someone has decided he likes snuggles when it’s cold.
A fluffy tabby and white cat, curled up next to someone only partially visible in a blue dressing gown. There are miscellaneous things in the background but the cat is the most important thing. Just ask him, he’ll tell you.

Mum passed away this morning, peacefully in her sleep, about 6am local time.
Flowers in a vase, in the background parts of a hospital room can be seen. A square whiteboard, with ‘Margaret “Cookie”’ written on it. Below the whiteboard various plugs and outlets can be partially seen.

Hey @dantheother.bsky.social - I found your trophy. :)
A bright yellow 3d-printed trophy where none of the sections line up correctly, with the words “World’s best CSS developer” on the base, with some of the text wider than the base and hanging over the edge.

The weather here is suddenly being very.
A screenshot the 128km rain radar from the Bureau of Meteorology of the area around Melbourne Australia. It shows a clear rain front running from north west to south east, with lots of heavy rainfalls (in red) over the Melbourne area. As far as I can tell, I'm currently sitting right underneath one of those red spots.

On this Australian Invasion Day, I acknowledge that I stand upon the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging, and I acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.

Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
The Australian Aboriginal Flag. The flag is horizontally and equally divided into a black region (above) and a red region (below); a yellow disc is superimposed over the centre of the flag. Black represents the Aboriginal people of Australia. The yellow circle represents the Sun, the giver of life and protector. Red represents the red earth, the red ochre used in ceremonies and Aboriginal peoples' spiritual relation to the land.

This seems appropriate here.
Art of a moose skull with antlers, with plant buds sprouting off the ends of the antlers, and the text "may your new year be fertilised by the bones of those who would wish you harm". The artists mark/signature is in the bottom left corner.

I'm assuming you all know this one...
Meme. Left hand side has the text "Run" and a picture of a man jogging in athletic gear. Right hand side has the text "Run as administrator" with a picture of someone jogging in a furry costume.

Leo is having such a hard day. Look at him!
A fluffy white and tabby cat, lying on his side and sprawled out on the floor. The carpeted floor is, unsurprisingly, messy with cat hair. There are no brain cells present in this photo.

This is why they’re called bottlebrush.
Close up of the flowers of a wattle tree, aka a bottlebrush. The flower clusters look like the type of brush you would use to clean inside a bottle.

Spring has sprung.

So many flowers, I can hear the bees buzzing as I walk past.
A wattle tree, aka a bottlebrush tree, in full flower, more red than green. It is a bright, sunny day and the sky is a clear, vibrant blue.

I was being properly supervised while in meetings yesterday.

This fluffy idiot is Leo. He has no brain.
A white and tabby fluffy cat, lying on his back with his belly exposed to the air. His front paws are curled and he is fast asleep on the floor next to the chair mat.

A fluffy white and tabby cat on his back with his belly showing, asleep on the floor. It’s a messy floor, please ignore that and focus on the cat, isn’t he cute?

Shared by a friend on Discord, and my heart said yes.

This is the game I'm running at Phenomenon this year. I am really looking forward to it.

Planning on doing a playtest before hand, assuming I can get the group together. :)
