PSA: possums are cool:
- can't get rabies
- eat ticks
- not aggressive
- the only North American marsupial

But they're not the pest or menace we make them out to be.

Made a little flood fill visualization of my topo map from

Hit my second best rank yet tonight on #AdventOfCode Day 6: Guard Gallivant!

Really put the "brute" into "brute force" tonight. I'm still learning #JuliaLang, but i really do enjoy it!

Julia is incredible.

Try out `code_lowered` and `code_native` as well!
