Geekmas 2019: And we're done here.

It's almost a month now since Christmas Day, and since then I've also received the first book in the Epic Yarns Star Wars series as an unexpected gift, bought one of the unpurchased books from my seasonal gift list at Bakka Books in Toronto, and just received a well-made NOSTROMO t-shirt and the third Epic Yarns book from Amazon™ at work today, purchased with gift cards that I received for Christmas.  So let's call it a wrap for Geekmas 2019 - no pun intended.

Four Day Geekend: Postscript.

 

Both my pieces of carry-on luggage were carefully hand checked by airport security for my flight back to Vancouver - apparently it makes them curious if the scanner reveals that the contents of your bags are completely surrounded by symmetrical rectangular packages (and relieved when they see that they're just books).

Four Day Geekend: Well, they're not wrong.

It's quite an inspiring slogan, and it speaks to me both from the perspectives of science and science fiction, but I'm a bit puzzled as to why this visionary statement is on the front of a marijuana dispensary on Bloor Street in Toronto that's waiting to open.
