It's early again... Patience is rolled in the blankets on my bed audibly daydreaming about the pineapple shake from Krekels yesterday afternoon... “Can we go there again... PLEEEEEEASE?”...

Leave for the late service at church for Oxbear to “elder”... however there's been a miscommunication between about four different people and he doesn't have to elder after all but he does anyway...

The rest of my afternoon is papers and communications and trying to help Puck get that safe to open (no luck)...

...while Oxbear brings the young ones out to St. Peters to visit with Theodore and Gloria...

...and Puck later gets back to another four-hour shift in Produce...

Colder and a little soggy in a terrarium world of dark greens and a sky covered in rain shadow...

When Oxbear and the young ones return that evening – “So what did the kids do out there this afternoon?” – Oxbear replies with... “We did some simple calculus equations and built our own AI model for the android they've been building... and after solving the traveling salesman problem we had dinner”...
