Good morning and happy Monday from the Pacific Northwest! As we start seeing the end of summer and the crazy kids heading back to school, another Civ cycle ends once again with an overall calm settling in. I saw a lot more amazing builds pop up within the channels this week and way less drama to write about, so that's a reassuring sign. Funny enough, even though I know school is supposed to be starting soon, many of the colleges here don't ...

Good morning and happy Monday from the Pacific Northwest! Honestly, it isn't really fun being bedridden after trying to work your legs too much while running. That's usually not a good sign, isn't it. Not to mention that my area is literally filled with hills. Civ had a lot of activity this week.

There's been so much happening that it's finally nice that this week the news was relatively slow. I don't have to think about writing long pieces for stupid stuff -- although I'm going to have to this week at this rate anyway. But I've barely squeaked this one out as I'...

Good morning and happy Monday from the Pacific Northwest! For those who filled out the nation poll, your compliments have been sent to their respective recipients anonymously this past week. I loved that poll, and I'm glad so many people did too. I'd love to do it again sometime, but maybe only a couple of times a year, so sometime later this year I'll probably run it again. I'll give another large vote campaign for it too, because nobody re...
