They were putting in the Docks at our Yacht Club — I rode over to find many men — kitted out with work gloves and gear — doing — I’d hoped to help out — having arrived a little late — missed the orientation — and found people gathered around various choke points — After appropriate observations — I left before I became another choke point
Replication — Google Photos helpfully gathers together similar images handily exposing visual tropisms toward which I veer
Going to work on our boat a little later today — considering renaming her from No Worries to Spider Island
For those with a speculative fiction bend — I’m recommending The Children of Time series by Adrian Tchaikovsky — which traces the evolution of intelligent Arachnid Humans — And in the second book an Octopus race — evolving according to the peculiarities of their particular somatics and pre-sentient histories
happy happy!
Have a wonderful birthday. Spider Island is a good name.
