Be very afraid - test firing of the "Atomic Annie" 280mm Howitzer

"In May 1953, a 280-mm gun nicknamed "Atomic Annie" fired the first atomic
shell, which burst on target 7 miles away. This atomic artillery piece is now on display at the Field Artillery Museum, Fort Sill, Oklahoma."

anything with “Malarkey” in the title gets my vote

Trying to cut down my caffeine intake by stacking the empty cans on my desk instead of just binning them. Pile is now worryingly tall and I still need the stuff to get moving on a morning. arses

well, i'm Still recovering from the Gathering. knackered...more later.

This weekends been a good one so far.
I'd not seen Gill since my sisters gallery opening last thursday, so we marked this weekend as time to spend doing stuff...
Yesterday was spent just relaxing and Chilling out, together.
Watched Pi (wonderful film, strange but cool) then down the pub with friends the wander town til the small hours. all good.

i wonder if the hebrew numerology bits of Pi are real?
Father + Mother = 44 , Child = 44

I like the Fibonacci numbers
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13... (add the last two to get the next) you start seeing spirals in everything...

as a (lapsed) Discordian, I was waiting for things to add up to 23 ;) but 216 is close enough (by the rule of 5's)

2+1 =3 , 6/3 = 2
2+1+6 = 9 = 3*3 = 3

and today we're going to potter into Birminham, have lunch in a mad little chinese resturant and then go and see the film 'Insomnia'
and then I'm running D&D in the evening. (more demonic assassins I think, time to take the kid gloves off and hit them again with a hard fight before they can reload on spells/limit use per day items)

all in all a very good weekend so far.

and i've a book idea in my head, a random thought thats growing... i'll have to scribble it down and see if i can find a publisher willing to give me millions of pounds for it... anyone got any ideas how to do that?

Back and knackered - ran around a lot, drank a bit, didn't eat enough, didn't sleep enough... and now suffering the usual post gathering burn out.
trying to do so much in one weekend is tricky.
but I managed to spend time in camp, talk to people, run a few encounters, get down the guilds, get my skills sorted, talk to the LT about compensation for my tent and still survive!
Now just got to get my head back to real life...

chair slams yesterday = 8
none so far today... people may be learning.

17. in the new office layout I'm sitting in the middle of the room, with a thin gap between my chair and the chair of the guy behind me.
and seventeen is the number of times someone going past has banged into me today.

also, I was used to sitting up a corner, so if people came over they were there to see me.
now I'm between 6 people and the door, kitchen and toilets. Plus there are several people in the office who are habitual wanderers. So they keep pottering over or stopping to talk to people near me and I turn to talk to them. so that’s my concentration out the window.

And it’s hot in here, even with the fans on.

it’s a wonder I’ve not killed anyone yet.

At least I’ve a rear view mirror on my monitor ;)
