This picture made me think of a Vonnegut quote, which I've pasted below:"I'm eighty-three and homeless. It was the same when World War II ended. The Army kept me on because I could type, so I was typing other people's discharges and stuff. And my feeling was 'Please, I've done everything I was supposed to do. Can I go home now?' That's what I feel...I've done everything I'm supposed to do. Can I go home...? I've wondered where home is. It's when I was in Indianapolis when I was nine years old. Had a dog, a cat, a brother, a sister."

DinoWar on Cloud 9…
W. S.
-I remember vacationing in a rustic cabin (smaller than the on in the photo I think). I’d packed lite: toy fire engine, dump truck, ambulance, bulldozer, lunch truck, tools, workmen, (in Spokane a boy tends to accumulate a lot of road construction toys –hm, coincidence?) and perhaps a few Star Wars toys (the TaunTaun if I had it) all meticulously angled and wedged into a cardboard box. And there I remember seeing a real garbage truck, working its futuristic mechanical-armed magic in the morning mist.
I wonder how your Allasaurus would do against a tribe of construction workers and their “primitive tools” –‘Flashback’ anyone? Or search Youtube for TaunTaun versus Allasaurus... Anything’s possible in the twilight of the modern era.
