Our first game of #smallworld in a few years and we are pretty well-matched. Next trick, drag Amy into the mix.

Also in the works, catan, potion explosion, carcassonne and pandemic

Any other android tablet compatible board games? I’m thinking galaxy trucker and seeing if I can find a version of m.u.l.e.

Just found out that knitter friend Betty McGrane passed away earlier this week, succumbing after a heart attack and stroke. I regret not seeing her since before covid broke.

She was very kind to me and I didn’t mind helping her with tech support one bit. She was easy going and was always happy for the help. She had a running joke that if I ever tired of my wife that she was an old lady with a big pension.

We will miss you, Betty. https://instagr.am/p/CQhzKTOAjzF/

Return to #swampwalk quarantine isolation day 467

The phone automatically created a panorama from three tree photos taken in the woods.

Cool-ish in the shade, maybe the low 70’s F in the shade, even cooler if a breeze kicked up on the edge of the treeline.

#bogsafari critter count: a ton of red-winged blackbirds, a few robins, some osprey, a couple of finches, 3 different squirrels, and something(s?) larger in the brush. Possibly a groundhog, clumsy snake or a fox?

The leafy canopy is at what I figure to be maximum, almost dark save for a weak green glow effect in the deepest section.

Might get together with friend SM tomorrow…will that be enough to change the name of these personal missives from SQID to something else? Just swampwalks , maybe?

I like to be the shortest tree in the woods.
