Catching up again -- yesterday was busy with regulatory agencies, everyone needing advice (I might open a counselling service...) and a nice lunch that was actually work and a discussion of the Sweden problem. Because... Sweden is a problem. So first a rocket, and then my last entry in Empires :)

The rocket
"What's a rocket then?" asked Uruk, looking around the inside of the bar. It was shiny, he'd already had to shade his eyes when he tried looking at the chromed coffee-machine and draft handles, and it felt... futuristic to him, though perhaps too far into the future for him to really appreciate it.
"It's a wine," said the elf behind the bar, waving a hand with fingers like jellyfish tendrils as a wall covered with shelves holding bottles of wine.
"Six please," said Uruk, looking around for something to sit on.

Greg - I'm not sure I want to know how Sweden is a problem. But I'm still curious.

And now I've made my final Empires addition as well! It's been quite the journey. I'm pleased with how it has finished.

Hmm, a wine called rocket? Seems like it ought to have caffeine in it. Sign me up!
