I always find it somewhat annoying when the characters I am following do actions that make no sense to me. Like female fantasy heroes going into battle with 10 percent of their body covered (or less!), or our sharp capable hero tackling the objective in the most complicated and difficult method imaginable with no explanation of why. I mean, cover up lady! you’re going to get hurt out there, and My god man, use the front door!

So in this panel I am trying to answer the question of why, if Tam needs power, isn’t she using the effectively limitless supply of Pacific Gas and Electric – though I guess Sausalito is using Marin Clean Power now. Either way, why build a reactor man?! Get an extension cord! But no, they are being looked for, or at least she is, and in the digital world odd power usage is not that hard to track down.

I find myself smiling slightly every time I read about Tam blithely saying “60% of your maximum load for the one mile distance”. People aren’t really that measurable. Sure, he could carry it, but want to?

Oh, and Kay went into Bridgeway Burgers for lunch. It’s the place to go. It’s the definition of hole-in-the-wall, I have seen closets with more floor space, but the burgers are really super good, and I don’t even like burgers. If you can’t read the address its 737 Bridgeway, Sausalito California, and yes I am really really solidly grounding my story in real locations.
