Solstitial Salutations

Post by Cody »

It's been a tough couple of years! I for one am going stir-crazy!
Have a good Winterfest, Commanders - and stay safe!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

And you! Out there in the Far East, with your oriental extravagances...

Spent the morning comparing the celestial and horizon co-ordinate systems for defining the position of a star in the sky...

Trying to define whether stars are moving clockwise or widdershins is complex as bally heck! Especially when your latitude changes.

That's the first time I've heard Pajero Central described as the "Far East".
"In the street of a thousand lanterns, to the east of Limehouse Reach!"

Wishing a Happy and a Healthy New Year to you and yours. May everyone we know avoid whatever Variants may come their way.
