Again I say

I would love to get paid to sleep. It would be a dream job.

Is that like metric?

It's National French Fry Day! It is also Bastille Day, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Hedonia was not the first city dedicated to Nagus Sterling, the Earl of Exchange. At the Base of the World™ stands a glorious holy city of excess (or city of holy excess) known simply as The Great Market. An impressive temple to Nagus stands at the heart of the bazaar. It serves as bank, action house, appraisal institute, cambist, and school of finance. The priests of Nagus Sterling are bankers and accountants. (One does not seek out a priest of Nagus for healing, although one of the largest hospitals in the realm is located in the Market. It’s the very best care, but you will pay for it.) His devotees are often merchants and traders of all types. The impoverished send him their desperate pleas, as do gamblers, thieves, and politicians. Bonus: Geography, The Great Market is a city of trade, of exchange, of negotiation. Anything can be bought and sold in The Great Market from spice and clothing to mercenaries and magic. All races and all churches have representation in the Market. It truly is where all cultures come together for the greatest trade requires the greatest audience.

The High Exchequer unfurled the large papers with the glee of a child on its anniversary. “See here, acolyte, the expansion will be glorious! The dead world is perfect for this new enterprise. It was not the first, but it was sure to be the greatest.” The clerk pored over the plans for the new Hedonia Arena and muttered a psalm under his breath. “Competition is good for business.” The High Exchequer nodded sagely approving of his apprentice’s study. “Acquisitions, 8:61. Good, good. That is the reason I chose you for this mission. I want you to oversee the initial construction while I am away at the high temple of Ce'Diya. You will also need to begin arrangements for the accoutrements. We’ll need tickets…” “Concessions…” offered the apprentice. With a grin the old accountant said, “Merchandise…” “Seating…” “Luxury seating!” “Souvenirs of all kinds…” “Contracts…” “Weapons…” The Arena was in good hands. His apprentice clerk was an enthusiastic and talented businessman. “Maybe too talented,” he reflected. =============== Not a pick, just world building inspired by a previous pick. I wrote this yesterday but lost internet before I could post.

AT&T internet went out for the whole county yesterday. The outage lasted over 7 hours. Guess which internet I have at home and at work.
