The parenting creed.

And also for you.

Sending as much strength as I can muster. Morale is at a low ebb here too.

Apparently there was a time when I didn't look like a haunted cabbage turning brown in the crisper.

Rear bumper and lights. Time for bed.
It's the back of the Wagen, oh-oh, the back of the Wagen. The builder is flagging, it's the back of the Wagen (repeat).

Headlights! (And background beer.)

I hope these posts give you a tiny vicarious pleasure and that a set finds its way to you some day.

Update: I have missed a step 🙁
The page I overlooked.

Bonnet built and attached, and unless I've missed a step, there are *two* spares of the very connector I needed earlier in the build.
The G-Wagen bonnet in lurid orange with two grey connectors resting on top.

Novel/creative NF recs for a student who wants to write on trauma and physical disability? Tysm!

Sometimes when I'm weeding I imagine I'm a worm and that the tap roots are stalactites and that a malevolent demon is wrenching them from above my head.

You'd think by now I'd have figured out the perfect binbag for my setup.

Wie heißt du?

Nice try, but I'm not telling you about my heist.

Fellow #HannahArendt heads--help! I'm trying to track down source of her quotation, "what is most difficult is to love the world as it is, with all the evil and suffering in it." Kohn quotes in *Thinking w/out Bannister* as does Hill in one of her essays, but neither cite it.

Shorter Keats:

Overheard: “Proper autumn, innit. Leaves is bare gold.”

@lyndseystonebri.bsky.social would likely also know (I flipped through her book on Arendt, but didn't spy that quote).

Not sure what the other 40% is
A slice of brie. The label says Brie 60%.

The car has its grille and a Stuttgart licence plate.
A close-up of the aforementioned black grille with a white licence plate. The registration number is S (Stuttgart code) and then G 1979, which is the year the civilian G-Wagen was launched. I think. Don't quote me. Tarkovsky's "Stalker" came out that year and the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Lots happened is what I'm trying to say.

This was quite satisfying to build.
