How Baltimore Cops Worked With a Billionaire to Secretly Spy on Everyone

Hey Kids,

Do you run a police department? Would you like high-tech 24-hour aerial surveillance of your city? Don't want to freak people out that you're constantly watching them?

A couple of billionaires and a tech firm are happy to help you out on the down low.

I also got spit on by a clam so...there's that.

So. I haven't played Magic: The Gathering since Alpha (no, I don't have any cards because i'm an idiot). Collectable games just don't sit well with me for the most part.

But I keep a casual eye on the game and the recent Conspiracy 2 set seems...really fun. I could go down to my FLGS and get in on a draft but those venues are usually...Spartan at best and I don't feel like playing against Rando Calrissians. I want to play with people I know, in a setting that isn't card tables and folding chairs.

So. Can I get 7 other people to play MtG: Conspiracy with me? This would have to be sometime later in the month, since the first half of September is...bonkers for me. Don't know how to play? Forgotten how to play? Perfect. Let's all learn/re-learn together.

Whelp, I'm officially old.

I'm in the grocery store today, gettin' my grocery on and there's music playing on the PA system.

"Huh...that music sounds a little weird....and familiar".

stops to listen

"Yup...that's Istanbul by They Might Be Giants all right."

Although yesterday was awesome, there was also a semi-tragic "Hooray these cargo shorts!" event. Just know that I wasn't exposing myself and the shorts died a warrior's death. It lives on in Valhalla, girding the very loins of the gods themselves!

Today (well, yesterday now) has been amazing. So much fun!
