    The Easter Brigade 5 members
     
    Many people thing Dr. Malos is a madman. Their right. Dr. Malos thinks he's a genius. He's right. So it would surprise no one when he poured a bunch of chemicals on a rabbit. Exposed it to the strange radiation of a meteor, and zapped it with a lighting bolt. Then he made it bite him. Convinced he would soon gain superanimal powers he waited for the supersences, superspeed, and super libido. But nothing happened. Blaming the rabbit he sold it to a restaurant. It never arrived.
     
    The creature that was the rabbit broke out of the truck enroute. Growing to the height of 4 feet counting the ears, it also morphed its paws to semi human fingers. Confused and frightened it hopped off, and ran into a group of kids. One of them asked if he was the Easter Bunny. Not knowing what that was but needing a place to hole up he said he was. Over the next few days he learned about the world around him. And he decided to stop telling the kids he was the Easter Bunny. But he didn't want to disappoint them too much so he told them he was the Easter Bunny's bodyguard Bouncer.
     
    One of the kids asked if that meant he beat up badguys. Bouncer said yes, and that was how he found himself using his super speed and powerful hind legs to beat up people in the local gang bangers hideout. After this Bouncer mentioned he really should have some weapons, and the kids presented him with his basket of weapons. Of course Bouncer was more hoping for guns or a flamethrower. Still the brightly colored eggs can blind people, the jelly beans can trip people up, and truth be told he rather enjoys ramming a rotten egg on someones nose.
     
    Overtime he ran into others who agreed to work with him. He wanted a team name more along a the lines of the Murder Death squad, but when a six year old girl looks like shes gonna cry if you don't take her suggestion what can you do. So the Easter Brigade was formed, and now when Peter Cotton calls the bad guys are sure to hear. "You are so getting bounced."

    An updated chart of Goldilocks planets, sorted by size and habitable zone, at http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/04/140417-exoplanet-interactive/#close-modal .  Newly discovered Kepler-186f is 493 light years away, so we'd better get going if we want to get there in time for dinner.

    Sex, of course. With multiple lycanthropes. Bondage and human sacrifice optional.

    First day was the absolute worst. Wet to dry wound dressings are a real pain!
     
    Awesome Gamer Girl turns out to be very good at this sort of thing, and she changed the would dressing for me. In spite of her talents, it was still... excruciating. But I gritted my teeth, toughed it out, and she did an excellent job. Felt a lot better afterwards.
     
    We repeated the procedure again this morning. I was scared witless, after yesterday, but the wound is healing up very well thanks to her, so replacing the dressing hardly hurt at all. I think the worst is over. I'm still feeling kinda weak, but what do I expect?

    I had some fun doing painting with light on an old sword of some kind I found at my in-laws house. I also used burning steel wool for the first time, so that was extra fun.

    Tried getting a photo of mars tonight.  Definitely need a bigger lens than 1300.

     
    But at the same time, did an alright photo of the moon.  Looking forward to the eclipse next week.

    March 2014 marked the first time in more than a decade that there were zero U.S. fatalities among American troops engaging in combat, according to numbers from the Department of Defense.

    I watch the PTWC site as it is most directly relevant to my situation.  Looks like we'll be fine; there's an advisory out to make sure no one's in the water when any potential tsunami gets here at 3:30 in the morning.
     
    The PTWC guys are a very decaf bunch of people.  I put in a firewall for them way back in the 20th century, and they didn't seem to mind at all when I inadvertently cut off all their telemetry for a few minutes.  Their facility is also about 300 yards from the beach at an elevation of maybe six feet, too.
