Burshire Times

Burshire is a bustling little place. A shoe store opened on main street although the selection isn't very good. The museum expansion was recently completed and Her Worship is pretty happy about being able to get all those warbloids out of the basement! The fund raising effort took forever!

The train station is broken alas so Her Worship hasn't been able to visit other towns lately though. Apparently it's a problem with the port forwarding protocol that has put the rail system offline. IT is "working on it".

Yesterday the town said goodbye to one of its more colourful residents, Cobb. Cobb never really fit into the village despite his enthusiasm for fitness and personal improvement. In spite of his friendly nature, he often said awkward and gross things and was a constant thorn in the side of Her Worship. The turning point was when he started calling everyone "jerkface". Cobb knew he had to leave then.

The other human resident of Burshire accused the Mayor of being speciest because Cobb was a pig, but all she wanted to do was to be able to bury fruit without being called "ladybro" ALL THE TIME. His last message mentioned that he was grateful for all the "sweaty memories" he made in Burshire.

The site of Cobb's former home will soon be home to a permanent campsite, which will NOT be named after him.

Making friends with Rhino

There was no way I was going to draw this design by myself, so I fired up Rhino and whipped it up in half an hour last night, which is amazing for all that stomached my bellyaching while learning it a few years ago. I think it's interesting that art helped me understand math concepts a lot better. For all the triangles in this pattern, all I see are squares. Rotating the outside triangles was difficult because I didn't have a protractor handy, but once I got some squares going it was all good! The smaller triangles on the inside of the circle have a small mistake - I forgot to change the tolerance on the grid snaps and it's slightly off. I'll go back and fix it another night.
