Revisiting a classic from my childhood at my own kid's insistence, and I now (hours later) regretfully see why my parents never wanted to play this (they were thrilled to play games, just not this one: "it will take hours and we won't finish, and also it's 95% luck and what isn't luck is bad").

Working on a theory: #Andor is gnostic “Star Wars.”
It is the Gospel of St. Thomas of “Star Wars”, where the Force is inside us, and all around us, not in Jedi Temples of wood and stone.
The Force is our connection to others, and the fire that we fuel guiding others forward.

There is of course one correct course of action with this unnecessary section of I-95: tear it down.
Everyone knows the construction of I-95 along the Delaware River waterfront 60 years ago was a catastrophe of urban planning. So why is the state planning to make the road even bigger?

How the morning is going: trolled myself by accident playing "liked songs" on shuffle and spent a few minutes investigating why my headphones weren't working.

*holding up a heavy chain* Outside agitators are bringing these dangerous items into the city. Just last night one of them was floating at the foot of my bed, waving this around, and warning me that the chains we forge in life weigh heavy on us in death. I assume he was talking about someone else

Star Wars (1977)
