TODAY'S NEWS: Hi, Everyone! Welcome back! I'm feeling much better, and am ready to get back to the comic with renewed vigor (or at least, the same vigor, but polished up a bit). The Minions had always wanted to go see Prabhupada's Palace of Gold in New Vrindaban, West Virginia, so combined that with a relaxing week's stay in Neff, Ohio. I hope you managed to have a good week, too!

The weather is supposed to be over 100°F (58°C) this week in Portland. Thank goodness I still have some Ice Cream.
