Made in God’s image on what must have been an off day. IT guru, retired church elder, foodie, baker, doodler, scribbler, and garage-band musician, whose true love is writing weird and scary stories about the strange people who live in my head.

I love the The Ring but it could never be made today because no one of our generation would ever watch an unlabeled VHS tape. Especially after cleaning out grandma's closet that one time.

What if we had the story of Medusa all wrong? What if she were a beauty harassed incessantly by gods and mortals alike, who pleaded with Athena for help? So Athena gave her snakes for hair to bite groping hands, and a gaze that will turn predators to stone. The free garden statuary is a bonus.
A man walking with his girlfriend in the "distracted boyfriend" meme style; the girl is in a white Greek toga, the man is turned around looking at Medusa in a red dress. The man is turned to stone.

Baked a potato-leek pie. Recipe in comments.
A rustic homemade potato-leek pie with a golden brown crust and six radial slashes on the top, in a metal 9-in pie tin on a white cutting board with blue seashell design.

Ever been spooked by The Backrooms? Could you no-clip into a endless maze, lost and alone? This is actually a photo of an old furniture store in Wisconsin that was bought and emptied out to create a RC racetrack joint.

Part of the reason English is such a chaotic language is that we use an alphabet designed for Latin to write Germanic words. We have 26 letters trying to keep up with 44 sounds. Bring back fuþark, or at least restore the runic letters we kicked out.
