Prisoner fights for right to play Dungeons and Dragons | News Bizarre | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

Prisoner fights for right to play Dungeons and Dragons | News Bizarre | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle. Just check out their reasons.  They think D&D promotes gambling amongst other things.  I feel discriminated against.

Here's hopeing

I had a long discussion with a friend of mine and the engine problems and he thinks he can help me out a bit.  What we are going to do is do a complete overhaul on the engine.  I think it may have a blown gasket or something equally drastic wrong with it.  I've ordered a manual.  He's unemployed right now and has nothing better to do than tinker. Looks like the recession is finally hitting us.  Blue Water Ships Store is going  out of business down the road.  This is terrible news.  They had a lot of Yanmar parts and it will be pretty tough to find them after they close.  At the very least, I  may be able to get some deals on parts for the next month. I'll be going to Relic Quest 1 tomorrow.  Hoping to touch base with a lot of Steampunk fans and see if I can get something going for the LARP this year.

Progress made so far on the ApolloCon LARP

A lot of issues are still up in the air so far for the LARP, but it's moving forward and that's good.  Bebhin has made me a moderator on the wlapollocon list and I am hoping that will help.  It's already made, it has a good list of probably volunteers and will be a good place to start organizing.  I am lining up tasks for posting and I will put that list up there.  If you want to join in on the fun, you can join that list here: Click to join wlapollocon

Disturbing thing here at the Marina

I came home this evening to see that the water here in the marina has changed from the usual muddy green to something around the same color and transparency of cinnamon coffee.  I have been here three years now and I have never seen this.  It was too dark to get a picture.  I'll post one when I can.

Blah

I realize I haven't posted in a while.  Sorry, I was sick yesterday, I haven't been that sick in years.  This afternoon I finally got enough umph to get off the boat to take a shower, only to find out that since the weather was so cold the past couple of days, there is no water pressure.  No shower to be had in Clear Lake Shores.  The pressure is so low, the toilets won't even flush.   I will try to get off the boat and go down to Coffee Oasis.  At least I can hope they have flushing toilets.
