Flat Planet

Touching sacred things scares me. The "sandbox trio" of Sandbox Cordova, Goguen, and Newcomb have been around so long—some might think it sacrilege to start messing with them. You know how it goes: in your advanced age, you wear a wool sweater every day, and it gets torn and ratty, but you love the sweater. You're used to it.

Well, what scares me even more is being scared of change. I'm someone who's mostly afraid of the known. So with that in mind, I terraformed the sandboxes and squashed down the sloping hills, particularly in Cordova, 'cause they were using space which is better put to use for building. Along the way, I also found misc. Governor Linden parcels which had no good reason being there, and joined them into the main body.

Some Resis want more sandboxes. I don't know if we'll get 'em soon, but I do know what's actionable and what can happen today.

I had dreams staring at the hills in the night sky, camping on them as a shepherd without sheep might… and when Jack Linden mentioned the sandboxes to me, the dreams resurfaced.

Dreams gotta come true.
