Big earthquake down in my hometown this morning. I've heard from family, and they're okay. Lot of clean-up to do; 70,000 without power. Historic bridge is broken between Ferndale and the rest of the county.

@Patti1120 My fiancee was tracking my fever. If it went up any more than it was, she would have dragged me to the ER (not sure exactly how, since I'm almost 3x her weight).

@dawnyriver I've had higher fevers, including a 105º, but I've never hallucinated from it. That was a *wild* experience.

A nuclear fusion reaction, a possible skin vaccine, and successful base editing on the genes of a 13-year old girl with treatment-resistant leukemia who's now 6 months cancer-free. Great week for and it's only Wednesday.

I'm finally on the recovery from a nasty flu bug that laid me out for five days. Even when I had Covid, it wasn't that bad.

I've *never* had a fever so bad I had visual and auditory hallucinations.

A nice dusting to start off the lowland snow event in . My hopes are that everyone remembers to slow down, turn on their lights, leave room, and stay off of hills.

@Labas_yall Why not both? I think the conversation should contain all the factors that require change.

Back at work today, and looking at a lot of things to do to catch up from the 4-day holiday weekend. I'm be the only one here until Monday, too.

research and maybe some gaming today. Have to do laundry at some point, since I work tomorrow.

Today is a "brew mead" kind of day. The one thing I don't like is that it takes 5-6 weeks to know if I've done it right.

@tsluikart That's a good point. Most of my settlements don't have magic items in shops, but someone in town (or in the next town over) can make that thing. Just not kept in stock usually. If they sell it, the merchant takes it to the big city later this year to sell it off for a good profit.

@MaSherry Next time I come down far enough, I absolutely will! Currently freezing in Seattle.

@MaSherry it's been a while since I visited Mendocino. I usually only stick to the 101 corridor. Thank you for sharing!

@PoliPhiNosaur No need to apologize! I can see why you'd ask! Thank you for the compliment!

@PoliPhiNosaur You're thinking of the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. This is about 6 hours north of that.

For those players, this is the setting I'm developing. It's built with in mind, but can be easily used with other rulesets:

The Carson Mansion, located in Eureka, California. I took this photo back in 2014 when I was home to visit family.
