The Great Plotnik had too many things passing through his small brain last night, so he woke up ridiculously early, unable to get back to sleep. There are three big things to take care of, and two smaller ones, and while most people would just let 'em happen, Plottie is required to worry about each one in order.

The bridge looks like it could be in Cleveland or Gary or Buffalo, doesn't it?



Then he got an email from The Great WantsaNewName-Nik.
