Little girl in taxi

This morning at around 8:05am, my work shuttle passed a taxi. I was looking down, and I saw that there was a little girl sitting in the front seat. She was wearing a pink shirt, and couldn't have been more than five or six years old. I didn't see a car seat. She leaned pretty far forward as I watched, and I didn't see a seat belt on her either.

As the taxi drove past I also didn't see anyone in the back seat.

I got the taxi's number. What do you think I should do? I don't want to get some poor taxi driver in trouble for having his or her daughter along in the taxi...but I'm pretty sure that young children are NOT supposed to be riding in the front seat, particularly not without car seats!

Oblivion struggles

Oblivion has been weird.

For a long time the real restriction was money. I won't bore you with the details, but basically I was earning tons of experience points, but couldn't allow myself to level up because I needed to make money to train.

Every time I did level up, I was instantly ready to level up again. The experience meter was always maxed out, and still is.

I also need to figure out some more effective spells to create at the spellmaking alter. My biggest problem seems to be lack of magicka; I can only cast a couple of my most powerful blasts before running out. Unfortunately there's no way to raise magicka other than levelling, and that levels the monsters, too. I've already maxed out my Willpower and Intelligence, so I'm pretty much stuck.

Blast from the APA past

While annotating the latest issue of The Log That Flies (#12), I was surprised to see that I had been interviewed and quoted in SF Weekly - that's San Francisco, not "science fiction". The subject was FactSheet 5.

I'd forgotten all about that. It was almost creepy; you'd think I'd have remembered being interviewed! So I just went and found the article online. It's from 13 years ago, but it's still there!

Ragging Factsheet 5

I wonder what happened to those bastards?
