Still here, what’s left of me.  The highway has been a mess since the start of spring break.  I saw the remains of a great truck fire yesterday though yesterday seems like a week ago.  The summer appears to entail a lot of travel.  The trip to Taipei will likely entail another trip into miniature soldier hinterlands.  There is one store that has a great selection but the aisles are only just wide enough for a single person and the ceiling is oppressively low.  There are a couple of other negatives but the selection is remarkable and so are the prices.  Not much metal but plenty of plastic.

In the meantime, I try to remain conscious during the day and get some sleep at night.  The weekend promises much activity.  I will be glad to get some rest.  I bought some Langton miniature ships and as usual my fingers end up coated with cyanoacrylic glue.  There are not many concessions made to ease of assembly but I will sort it out and post the results.
