It was a busy day and I accomplished quite a lot of positive things. But the one that stands out is the single game of Fortnite where I both cleared my Weekly Quest list AND won with a sword.

Winter life on Vancouver Island sees a lot of rain.Yesterday, after what seemed like 40 days of rain, the skies parted long enough to show the sun still exists. Since it's back to rain today, this will have to serve as the last visible sunset of 2024.

This is about as high as the sun gets at this time of year in Victoria, Canada. Looking across the Juan de Fuca Strait at the Olympic Mountains of Washington, United States.

Am I, 9 iron in hand, interrupting this black tailed deer's lunch? Taken at Glacier Greens Golf Club, Vancouver Island -- the island that pretty much skips Canadian winters.

In my quest to catalogue every obscure board wargame, I posted an article on Wikipedia today about the very bad "The Civil War: The War That Pitted Brother Against Brother". Critics savaged the game, one of them calling it "worthless and stone stupid." Clearly this must be preserved for posterity.

And so it begins: December 1's Beer Advent Calendar offering is Kevin Mc'Ale'ister American Pale Ale (Parallel 49 Brewing, Vancouver, 4.5% ABV). A hazy pale ale, with the typical nose of NW hops, a gentle mouthfeel and the usual citrus flavours. Nice but rather unremarkable. #beeradventcalendar

My final pre-Advent beer calendar beer: Old Jalopy Pale Ale by Powell Brewery (Vancouver), a charming Northwest paean to the proper pint pulled down at the local. #BCCraftBeer #craftbeer #Americanpaleale #WorldBeerCupWinners

Today I built yet another IKEA bookcase. I may be the world amateur record holder for pieces of IKEA furniture built in a lifetime.

Today I created a new Wikipedia article about a strange RPG, "Necronautilus", in which players are sentient clouds of gas called Death Agents who roam around the Death dimension, enforcing the will of the blind god Death. Since they have no limbs, they use Words of Power to take actions.

I live on Vancouver Island, Canada, and it rains a lot at this time of the year. That didn't stop me from golfing this afternoon.
