Good morning and happy Monday from the great Pacific Northwest! As the leaves are starting to turn, I'm very glad we're entering a much more peaceful and serene period on Civ recently. There's always going to be drama, sure, that's never in question, but I think the world has started really develop some worldbuilding over this past peace period.

Good morning and happy Monday from the Pacific Northwest! I hope everyone is ready for Spooky Month^TM this upcoming season, I know I sure aren't! With the temperature still appearing in the 50s it feels like fall, but the weather hasn't been rainy yet, so it isn't hell for me.

Good morning and happy Monday from the Pacific Northwest! I managed my time at least a little bit better so I happily managed a near deadline post today pretty comfortably. Plus, I'm sleeping at a healthy time tonight! It's a little bit more of a quiet week all things considered for the news, but I hope everyone's had a great one -- it's the Olympics hype edition of the newsletter and I'm really looking forward to see the community come al...
