Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)

Paid a Colombian tea grower $1,500 for a shipment. Got billed $150 by the Trump administration at the border. *I* got billed. Not the tea growers. Not the Colombian government. Me. The American business owner. I paid the Trump tax.

Bond is one of those characters like Hercules, where you put him in your story, everybody knows who he is and what to expect from him, so you don't have to fill in any details whatsoever and you can get on with the storytelling.

As I was saying. Also, confirms the notion that Bond isn’t a name, it’s a job title.
As you (may) know, Bob, my solution for the Bond problem starts with Bond suddenly realizing that since he is in his 30s, he cannot possibly have memories of his cases from the 1960s... but he does. Digging leads him to the home/lab of Professor Ian McClaine and McClaine's son Joe.

Bond is an iconic hero.
You do sequels until your actor tires of the role. Then you start over.
Because iconic heroes don’t do arcs well.

what did they think was happening in casino royale exactly, was that the same Bond that went to space in Moonraker
just have the new Bond shoot someone with a PP7 and kiss a pretty lady and we’re good here

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
