Didn't quite kill anyone off at D&D tonight. Next week is the absolute final epic battle for this campaign, though. After 3 encounters already without an extended rest (so they're low on daily powers). And I gave two players Mummy Rot tonight. So... no promises.
Yup, it's winter in Cascadia now. Dark, cold and wet. As unpleasant as it can be, I really do love the sense of change. I love that we're approaching 8 hours of daylight again, and that I need to wear my coat all the time. I even love that I need to wear long pants, though that will fade quickly. And, of course, it's fun to watch the first year grads from other climates discover their SAD.
The Vancouver buses have started sprouting full colo(u)r LED reader boards for advertising on the sides. Which, fine, except they're painfully bright at night. Which is so stupid. They need to be that bright during the day, since the sun is so amazingly bright. I get that. But at night, turn down the brightness! This is trivial to do automatically and it would be 1) so much less distracting to other drivers, 2) more energy efficient, and 3) just polite, dammit.
