  2. Such strange Olympic games, with the lockdown, the reused facilities and all.

    1. Over achiever LOL

      And the Olympics were definitely odd without the spectators.

  3. It was fun seeing the torch map - that trip always feels so special to me. I have no guess on your post for tomorrow - I'm pretty sure that's not a moon lander.

    1. The torch map is always intriguing to me too.

      You're right - it's not a moon lander. But you're not that far off!
