Back home for a few days, then it's back to playing human piñata with ISIS (using a 172 grain boat-tail hollow point, we are fresh out of wiffle-ball bats)
Haven't been around in game much as of the past three or four months. I moved to the Adirondacks. I don't have a great internet connection, but I do have this:
Took this photo whilst hiking on the property where I live.

So, there was indeed a meet so tiny it could barely still be called such in New Orleans! @Micaelis was off being a family man and/or preventing Deepwater Horizon II almost all weekend, which meant that much of the time it was just me and @Rangor checking out the city. He was a gentleman and did not once attempt to mind throw me into a police blockade. There exists a mirror-selfie of the three of us, but it's up to Micaelis to post that.
It's a beautiful city. Here are some shitty pictures I took with my phone! (I should probably photograph -people- more often.)
French Quarter right before a downpour.
Rangor eats a bunch of tasty fried things and discovers that New Orleans is not a sweet tea kind of town.
FQ jazz band in motion. people down here who wear fedoras look more like they should be wearing them
taken from the St. Charles streetcar. I really want this house.
beautiful fountain at the entrance to Audubon Park. Humidity when this picture was taken: c. 300%.
at the zoo, Jhui and Dunn* contemplate the finer points of raid strategy (the one on the bottom is Jhui because of the terrifying rippling muscles)
lord sartan
(actually it's supposed to be a loup-garou)
The zoo has some white alligators (leucistic, not albino?) that are pretty rad. Rangor opined that the zookeeper girl there is an intern.
Micaelis missed his chance to see the world's most fabulous anteater because he was off keeping America running
Colorful shards at St. Louis Cemetery No. 1. (This is the setting, filmic and real, for the scene in Easy Rider where Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda trip balls. The Archdiocese of New Orleans was most displeased.)
if I were 15, there'd be some Anne Rice-related bullshit here
I love what the light did in this one. RIP Larry.
This tomb was in the back, in the section sometimes called the "cimetière hérétique" (= Protestants). It houses the young wife of Louisiana's first American governor. Rather touchingly romantic. (Epitaph reads "For the virtuous there is a better world")
There are beads on EVERYTHING
I don't know what the file limit for a post is, and I am too lazy to look it up or keep uploading till I hit it, so on to the last bit.
Oh boy this post contains actual pictures of people who aren't made of stone!!!
This is the cute girl who slept with me all weekend.
Trellised corridor leading to the airbnb cottage where I stayed. Soooo relaxing.
Rangor looking swag in his new Saints shirt. Not pictured: the Saints losing to the @$%(*&$# CLEVELAND BROWNS why God why. Rangor was an eager student of fútbol americano and so I explained why this happening heralds the end times.
Beignets and chicory coffee at Café du Monde, because.
So I took my previous bike out to a friend's place to clean it up and make it look shinier for selling, and when I brought it back to swap back to my new bike I sat them next to each other to take photos.
Slight difference between the two. And why not, a photo of me sitting on my new bike.
@Lachlan and I invaded Ohio this weekend. We went to King's Island and then the Cincinnati Zoo. No pictures of the amusement park, but here are some giraffes!
and an elephant
and a bird!
Then the camera died. There are a few more pictures, but no upload.
I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.
I am angry at you, @Jonathin Ho dare you come to -my- city, and go to -my- favorite places without me?! I hate you. I'm gonna weep into my pillow now.

I'll trade you mine for that.

Let's be friends.
Ulrike being all touristy.
The gang.
Please accept this video of me dancing in high heels as my personal apology to you for not attending Yanis Marshall's class.
