Idleness and lack of occupation tend - nay are dragged - towards evil.
Hippocrates (460 BC - 377 BC), Decorum
After a long hiatus, the USS Anaglyph and
it’s crew continue their five-year mission.
Captains Log
Stardate 0618.06
The crew is happy to be underway again; as am I. We were on the verge of becoming obese and indolent basking in the ever-present sun of the Tucson Sector.
We have made our way to the edge of this world; The Grand Canyon sector of the Arizona quadrant, and have established an observation post in a small hamlet whose moniker leaves no doubt as to the hardships we are facing….. Bedrock Camp. Even though we have been to this sector before, I had forgotten how primitive conditions here were.
This sad and dilapidated village is but a parody of the proud people who once inhabited this harsh and desolate place.
The mighty gods born from nature that once ruled here such as AWONAWILONA (The One Who Contains Everything), COYOTE (The creator and teacher of men) and NAGENATZANI (Elder Twin Brother) have been replace by Fred ( dumb), Barney (dumber), and Wilma (vacuous).
A colloquialism from 20th century Earth sums it up nicely
“ ONE PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS”
BEFORE
AFTER
(so.. let’s see.. 5 pictures times 1k is equal to 5 thousand words, unless,
of course some of the pictures are larger. Then they might be worth more words….?)
At any rate, let’s move on to more agreeable news. While in dry-dock Cmd. Lucky oversaw renovation of the mess deck. We now have a little portion of Mother Earth to carry with us on our voyage to strange and unknown spaces. We have a FRONT LAWN! Although I must note that Cmd. Lucky has taken a proprietary interest in this new addition and I am concerned that it will soon become an obsession if action is not taken soon.
