My holiday vacation ended yesterday. In other news, here’s something that happened in Colubrine Sector during yesterday’s road trip:

: *Autoclave by The Mountain Goats* “This is what's currently playing. The name makes it sound like Colubrine Sector might like it.”

: “Hmmm . . . the lyrics do seem interesting.”

(silence)

: "In Which The Autoclave Stops Working."

: “. . . what?”

: “Huh? What does that mean?”

: “The mention of an autoclave reminded me of the thread that Landon really likes. I got the idea to use that as a chapter name.”
