Something summery in September! Big thanks to all the patrons who made this possible ā¤ ā¤

The PatreonĀ request vote for the month was a dead tie between Aveline and Merrill planting a garden and a Krem picture which should be coming soon, because even with my tiebreaking privileges I can’t let that opportunity pass me by!! But I hope Aveline’s beef will tide y’all over in the meantime. (Isabela definitely stole the hat for Merrill.)

Adventures in Pokemon Go

(I spent the morning exploring the area around me, finding pokestops and finding pokemon. One of my closest pokestops is at a small community church a few blocks from my house.)
Me: Sweet! An EGG!
Woman: (coming out of the church) Excuse me?
Me: (thinking ‘busted’) Yes?
Woman: People have been pulling up and looking at their phones and leaving all morning. What’s going on? Is it a scavenger hunt?
Me: Oh, uh, I guess, in a way it is? (I show her my phone and try to explain the game)
Woman: Look, they have our picture on here! And they got our pride flag in the shot, that’s so nice! I’m the pastor, should I put up a sign? “Welcome, Pokemon”?
Me: “Pokemon Trainers Welcome” might be a bit better, but sure.
Woman: What’s that?
Me: That’s a gym. It’s at the pizza parlor over by the park?
Woman: The pizza parlor gets a gym?
Me: That’s where people go to fight, they come here to get supplies and healing things.
Woman: Okay, that is more appropriate. I’m getting this game.
