Royalty for a Week, and Shameless The Rest of The Time (Volume IV)

My Queen, I think with the term "rat rod" it's more about how they're trimmed down and not very comfortable. Most don't have roofs or covers for their engines. It's my understanding they started off as just a plain vehicle designed for speed.

Ah. Ok. That kind of makes convoluted sense, I guess.

A bit, perhaps. Car culture is a fascinating one.

My Queen, here's a quick look at some rough and some pretty rat rods.

Your majestey I was concerned the hurricane might deposit you in the other Oz but a visit would be welcome it is good to see everyone well today.

My day remained rather unproductive, though I did open and organize a couple of new games. I also played a new solo game. It's definitely more challenging than I expected, but that makes winning all the more satisfying when it happens.

Thank you, Sir Brad.

Prince Beanie, that other Oz happens from tornadoes in Kansas, not hurricanes in Texas.


I am going to go ahead and pass the crown since the next monarch lives in a far advanced time zone from mine, and I want her to have a full Sunday to begin her reign.

Hello, all. I come by invitation.

Welcome to the Castle, Lady Silva. It is a pleasure to meet you.


Wine? Tea? Coffee? Whiskey? We have a bar if you are interested, along with any nonalcoholic item you might desire. Just tell the wait staff and they will fetch it for you.

Thank you. I was just thinking some ice water with a squirt of fresh lime would be utterly divine.

That's easy. The Castle has a water purification system--top of the line.

Enjoy!


Do you write? I write sci-fi/fantasy.

All Hail Queen Ally!

LadyV, which game did you find challenging?

I do! The novel I'm currently working on falls somewhere within the M/T/S categories. I've also written a few short stories that may be considered speculative, I'm not sure.

I've never understood the word "speculative", so you are one up on me.

Lady Silva! You snuck in on me. How have you been?

It's called Castellion. It involves stacking tiles in a certain order to make structures indicated by cards before too many bad guys show up. There's more to it than that, but that's the basic rules. This is the first solo game I've ever owned. Sometimes I just get the itch to play a game, but have no one to play with.

Damn it, I've forgotten to take my medication.


Be back.

Well, I may be completely and totally wrong, but I understand it as an umbrella term for stories set in imaginary or future worlds, rather than the contemporary or historical one.

Oh, life's been stressful but productive the last few days, and it's just getting started.

LadyV, that sounds like a lot of fun. Do you get into any online games at all?

Ambrosia, I hope you take them in time to be of use.

I'm going to get some ice cream stuff going. A photo shoot and a couple of bases, I hope. I have to go back to work tomorrow, which I'm not looking forward to at all.

Well, if you're right, that is the clearest explanation I've ever read. I actually understand that one.

I missed your request for a better definition for that term because Lady Silva explained it the way I understood it.

Lady Silva is very good, isn't she?

Lady Silva has always been a smart one, for sure.

All hail Her Majestey Ally the first


Your crown your Majestey

Hi lady silvia

Queen Ally, last night you asked me what I was working on. This are pics of some of it. What I'm doing is taking practice shots because there are certain visuals I want to capture for when I make the video for this. It's one of the first videos I've ever made and it was taken with an old, small camera. Now that I have a new camera and I'm better at using it, I'd like to re-do some things.

Primarily, the video called Breakfast With Lavern, who is an AWer very special to me. It's coffee ice cream on a hot cinnamon roll fresh out of the oven.
