That's right folks...back from the dead! As I told the resident artist, there's lots of stuf for me to do now that the weather is nice...riding Galeon being one of them.

Lots of news but I can only touch on things as dinner is almost ready and I have more to type for the story...so here's the short version.

The ridings been great and the bug seems to be catching...as at least one reader has bought themselves a bike now and is in the process of convincing (not very hard) the other half to get one as well.

The car needs a just a bit more to be ready for racing again with new mods. Funny though, I saw a black Turbo II while at work today....need to find out if it's for sale....

Gotta haul lots of wood and stuff to the dump tomorrow as well as cart some stuff in the truck for a co-worker...and stop by the tune shop to ask about tires....and clean the house....and who says I don't relax on my days off?

The news about Gao Gai Gar gets better and better...can't say anything now...as I don't want to jinx it... but let's say theres good stuff brewing...and I have faith in my friends.

On that note...time to kill some more characters...damn.....kill two nameless minions and you people go ballistic. Threaten the heroines life and you all clam up. This IS supposed to be based on the SUNRISE shows now people...don't put it past us! ^_^

Resistance is FUTILE!!!

Did I say the previous page was tough to draw? I meant this one. I started over about six times before I was even remotely happy with it. Additionally, I did a lot less cheating than I'd intended to do. There's only one repeated panel instead of what could have been about four.

So! Body count: 3! Hope you're keeping track.

And now, I'd like to present to you a proposition. (Not that kind.) I'd like to make a new program available to any permanent residents of - and some locals to - tourist areas. It would offer special privileges to actual residents of the area, above and beyond any tourists, for a small annual fee (just to make it worthwhile for the city). Ladies and gentlemen: I propose the institution of the Dammit I Live Here program.

In order to be a part of this program, applicants must submit proof of residence in the area in question, registration at colleges or universities directly within said area, or proof of regular employment in s.a. - basically, any indication that they spend a significant amount of time within the actual bounds of the tourist trap in question. Anyone who qualifies will be presented with a Dammit I Live Here photo ID card, as well as a Dammit I Live Here sticker/tag for their vehicle.

Possession of the Dammit I Live Here card and sticker entitles the holder to such amenities as:

* automatic replacement to the front of the line at restaurants/shops
* special entrance to local attractions (theme parks where they go anyway after work)
* preferential treatment at busy shops
* etc.

In addition, there will be special Dammit I Live Here parking at local hangouts, restaurants, and especially shops/banks/etc. which happen to be close to large outdoor events which might compromise parking for actual patrons of local businesses (such as the Barnes & Noble off Merchant's Square during Grand Illumination).

Why do I say this? Sunday, I went to help out at my aunt's art show in Merchant's Square. Besides the fact that it was a warm weekend early in Busch Gardens's season, people were packed in for this. I was forced to park in the parking garage well up the road and near the post office (which is barely within college students' walking distance, let alone regular walking distance) and pay to do so. Never mind that I'm a resident and was there to help a merchant. And God forbid I go into B&N to get a chai. I couldn't even park there.

There it stands, l. and g. I propose we bring the Dammit I Live Here campaign to the attention of all city officials in tourist spots. Because dammit ... I live here.

If you have been, try Mexican food this time.
