[07:29] Storm Nordwind: Hello Yaku
[07:32] Yakuzza Lethecus: i was just thinking of you before :)
[07:32] Storm Nordwind: Oh dear. Still in shock? :)
[07:32] Yakuzza Lethecus: very much so :)

[07:33] Yakuzza Lethecus: well, did preorder brave new world :)
[07:33] Storm Nordwind: Ah yes. I'm expecting big things from that. But had put it out of my mind.
[07:34] Yakuzza Lethecus: i will not have it directly we are a bit later then the us anyway and i order a physical package
[07:34] Storm Nordwind: Is there an advantage to preordering?
[07:35] Yakuzza Lethecus: don´t think so except it´s shipped a day before release but certainly will not arrive then
[07:35] Yakuzza Lethecus: key would be faster
[07:35] Storm Nordwind: Meh. I can wait. Months if necessary. :)

[07:36] Yakuzza Lethecus: how is dreamcatching going ?
[07:36] Storm Nordwind: Exhibits are appearing slowly. Waiting for the final rush.
[07:36] Storm Nordwind: Including yours ;-)
[07:37] Yakuzza Lethecus: ha! :)
[07:37] Yakuzza Lethecus: in my dreams :)
[07:37] Storm Nordwind chuckles
[07:37] Storm Nordwind: I added a simple one myself last night. that will do I think this time.
[07:38] Yakuzza Lethecus: you will have another, i am sure of it :)

[07:38] Storm Nordwind: I spend rather more time elsewhere at the moment, so i doubt it.
[07:39] Yakuzza Lethecus hopes everyone is well
[07:39] Storm Nordwind: Oh yes. Ars longa vita brevis.

[07:41] Storm Nordwind: I got a shock last night...
[07:41] Storm Nordwind: I was looking through some news reports...
[07:42] Storm Nordwind: Apparently it's the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg...
[07:42] Storm Nordwind: part of the American Civil War...
[07:42] Storm Nordwind: Nothing particularly amazing about that of course...

[07:42] Storm Nordwind: But there were photographs...
[07:42] Storm Nordwind: 150 year old photographs...
[07:43] Storm Nordwind: That seemed so strange...
[07:43] Storm Nordwind: Because the landscape looked like 20th century English houses
[07:44] Storm Nordwind: But there was all this carnage in the middle of relatively modern housing
[07:44] Storm Nordwind: And old-fashioned uniforms and weapons...

[07:44] Storm Nordwind: Seemed to bring home some kind of craziness to me
[07:44] Storm Nordwind: So very recently this was happening.
[07:45] Storm Nordwind: Just two lifetimes end-to-end ago.
[07:46] Storm Nordwind: This is such a young country i live in.

[07:47] Yakuzza Lethecus was just looking into gettisburg pictures
[07:47] Yakuzza Lethecus: great historical festivals
[07:48] Yakuzza Lethecus: have houses been build more solid by that time in the states ?
[07:49] Storm Nordwind: It seems that solidity has long since been forsaken in the interests of "let's get it up and sell it quickly"
[07:50] Storm Nordwind: Nowadays houses here seem to be facades over flimsy wood.
[08:02] Yakuzza Lethecus: i wish you a very good morning and coffee :)
[08:02] Storm Nordwind: Thank you. And may the rest of your day go well. :)
