A Stray to Botaram updates on Tuesday and Thursday.


Title: Wrap Up
(Aun looks at Chax intently but cheerfully.)
Aun: Chax, this is your victory! Thanks to your cunning and forethought, we survived a horde of deadly foes and only took a few scratches.
Those who trained you did well, and so did you! Be proud!
(Chax squints and shakes his head, then looks more like his old self.)
Chax: You’re right, Aun. Thank you for returning me to my senses. I regret showing such weakness—
Aun: Oh sha, it happens to everyone. After-battle jitters take you to strange places! Let’s wrap up, then try to figure out why the station called to me in the first place...

Too Much Power…

As of this writing, I am back online in a warm and well-illuminated house. I’d like to thank our neighbors, Laura and Alexis, for sharing the use of their generator during the first few days, and our friends, Betsy and Stefan Burr, for opening their house to us, sharing dinner with us, and lending us their generator in our time of need.

However, it seems that while wrestling with setting up the heavy generator, I dealt my back a blow from which it has yet to recover. I am therefore bedridden for now, and so am postponing the next entry of Botaram to the coming Monday.

Until!

Sandstorm

I am at least provisionally in the path of the East Coast hurricane, and have just gotten the hatches reasonably battened. I will be working on Botaram tonight and tomorrow as power and laptop battery permit. Provided that cell coverage remains, I should have the next entry up by tomorrow evening. Until!

What’s going on…

Still not dead, but now having some health concerns in addition to other worries. This isn’t shaping up to be a good year…

Nevertheless, I am assigning a firm date for Botaram’s return; I expect to be back in the saddle on Monday, September the third. I trust that I will not be proven wrong.

To those who are still checking in, I thank you for bearing with me.
