[18:08] * web76 (473eb015@CCN-1F686F39.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[18:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That may be the birthday girl now
[18:08] * web76 is now known as KK
[18:08] <The_Bee> Hi KK!
[18:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Just a little slip of a girl.
[18:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Happy Birthda KK
[18:08] <KK> C'est moi!
[18:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> You're a state?
[18:08] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> A mere child. 😄
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> That sounds great Evie, decorating with a medieval theme?
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL!  "L'etat, c'est moi!"
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Second childhood at least
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Took me a moment
[18:09] <~bynw> happy birthday KK ... sounds like it was a great bday
[18:09] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hope you had a wonderful day
[18:10] <KK> It was a ovely day!
[18:10] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hispanic/Latin grocery stores will stock sour oranges and bottled juice thereof, but they can be a bit thin on the ground if you don't know where to look.
[18:10] <KK> lovely, too. Daphne is helping me type.
[18:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> @azdesertrose Now I'm wondering if sour orange is like the Filipino "Calamansi," which looks a lot like a miniature orange and has a flavor that is sort of between an orange and a lime.
[18:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> How sweet of Daphne
[18:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi KK! Happy belated birthday!
[18:11] * The_Bee scritches Daphne.
[18:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi Daphne!
[18:11] <HoundMistress> Hi, everybody! I wandered off and was rewatching The Two Towers. Everyone OK?
[18:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> *distracts kitteh with a decoy laptop*
[18:11] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yup
[18:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Evie mentioned wedding prep above.
[18:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Possibly, Evie. Citrus came to the US from Spain, I believe, and they also colonized the Philippines, so maybe?
[18:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I think you need decoy hands for the decoy laptop to divert the kitty attention
[18:12] <KK> Hello, all. And the biggest birthday surprise was the arrival Thursday morning of the delightful Cameron, who has been clearing up all sorts of fiddly chores for me.
[18:12] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That was sweet of him!
[18:13] <The_Bee> Yay for Cameron!
[18:13] <HoundMistress> Fish City Grill in Georgetown has good Bread Pudding.
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That is awesome.   great job for him
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Doing well hm
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> KK, how's the knee? Are you doing any Irish step dancing yet?
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> The best birthday present ever
[18:13] <KK> Yp, drove all the way up from Oklahoma.  He heads back tomorrow.
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi Daphne. So helpful. A friend of mine was preparing for her D&D game and her kitty decided to "help" by parking her fuzzy butt on the papers.
[18:13] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hellos to Cameron, then, since he is still there
[18:14] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Tell him to get in on his phone and drop in and say hello
[18:14] <KK> No Irish dancing yet, but I'v been out and abut several times now, start regular physio tomorrow, all 29 staples out.
[18:14] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Good job KK
[18:14] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Sounds like great progress KK
[18:14] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Woohoo KK!
[18:14] <The_Bee> So you're now unstapled.
[18:14] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> She's coming apart.
[18:15] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I still laugh when I remember you accidentally getting the package meant for me mixed up with the package meant for Cameron and wondered why you were sending me a computer...then wondered later what Cameron must have made of receiving a Barbie carriage!  😂
[18:15] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Quick somebody find the stapler or some tope
[18:15] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> As long as she's not coming unglued
[18:15] <KK> Yep. And incision <is> smaller than the first one.
[18:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Quick somebody find the stapler or some tape
[18:16] <HoundMistress> Do your rehab and you'll be dancing soon. All my work friends are insisting I will dance with them at the Christmas party.
[18:16] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Now you have two good knees and no one can hold you back
[18:17] <KK> Yep, good bionics.
[18:17] <HoundMistress> Yes! Very good!
[18:17] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Yay!
[18:17] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Now you just need your own TV show
[18:18] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> The Bionic Deryni
[18:18] <HoundMistress> That's good, LR!
[18:18] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Was any unit of currency ever mentioned in the Deryni series? I started look for them later.
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The Six Million Dollar Deryni
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Was any unit of currency ever mentioned in the Deryni series? I started to look for them only later in the series.
[18:19] <KK> The one down-side is that I'm not yet cleared for driving, so I'm having to learn to use Uber for a few weeks.
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Countess Bevin the Bionic
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> There is a list of Deryni currency in the Deryni Adventure Game sourcebook, but I don't recall a mention of coinage in the novels
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Hi hi!!! I am, in fact, alive.
[18:19] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello Sarah
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi Sarah
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Good for you
[18:20] <HoundMistress> Hi, Sarah
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> Keep it up
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hello Sarah Jelly. 🙂
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We're glad you are alive, because otherwise participating in chat is more difficult
[18:20] <~bynw> can't get much of a bionics for 6 million now days
[18:20] <~bynw> hi Sarah :)
[18:20] <KK> I don't think I've ever mentioned specifics, only gold or silver coins.
[18:20] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I hope we did no have cause to doubt the Alive part.
[18:21] <The_Bee> That's good. I don't know what we'd do if dead peoplestarted posting.
[18:21] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> imagine 14 novels and never a mention of money.  good economy that
[18:21] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Tis the season, anyway.
[18:21] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Call Ghostbusters
[18:21] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If you need the Gwyneddan coinage that is mentioned in the RPG book, @tm_9039 , let me know and I can look those up for you later.
[18:21] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Spooky season!
[18:22] <KK> I have the RPG book' I could look it up if I needed to, but thanks.
[18:22] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I would hope you of all people would have a copy, KK. 😄
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> This is taken from DAG  Gold Coins:
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Soverign valued at 4 Marks
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Half-Soverign valued at 2 Marks
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Mark valued at 4 Royals
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Silver Coins:
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Royal valued at 8 Pennies
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Vice-Royal valued at 4 Pennies
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Penny valued at 4 Farthings
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Copper Coins:
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Farthing valued at 1/4 Penny
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Similarly, I would hope Shiral does also, given that she contributed to it!
[18:23] <KK> Yeah, I have several tomes that other folk have compiled, and they always send me copies.
[18:23] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> I was just wondering about the books & KK's stories.
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> 1 gold Soverign =
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> 2 gold Half-Soverign =
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> 4 gold Marks =
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> 16 silver Royals =
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> 64 silver Vice-Royals =
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> 128 silver Pennies =
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> 512 copper Farthings
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <tm_9039> = 793 partridges in pear trees
[18:24] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yeah, if any specific currency was mentioned in KK's work, I can't recall any examples now, and at one time I did a search for some before I found the list in the RPG.
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Plus in a medieval economy there would also be barter as well as exchange of coinage
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hello all
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Hi Shiral
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello Shiral  were your ears buring
[18:25] <HoundMistress> Hi, Shiral
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Hi Shiral
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hey Shiral
[18:25] <KK> When I was writing scenes involving payment, the exact coinage just wasn't that important to me.
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I like that KK
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I told the Pod-Child that this year's Christmas card should mention five cats, four humans, two dogs, and a partridge in a pear tree.
[18:25] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Hi all, I guess my burning ears alerted me to my name being mentioned
[18:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> And of course yes, I have a copy
[18:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi Shiral
[18:26] <The_Bee>  What is the highest-valued coin in the RG? Hi Shiral1
[18:26] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> snaps fingers and produces a big  birthday cake for KK
[18:26] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The gold sovereign
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> It's one of those cakes where everyone can have their favorite kind of cake
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> A gold sovereign is worth 512 farthings
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Magic chat cake
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> No calories, either
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My favorite kind
[18:27] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> /me opens the freezer to bring out the magic chat ice cream to go with the cake.
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I am on sugar overload with the pumkin spice bread.  just need more tea
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Good, can't have birthday cake without ice cream!
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Mmm tea
[18:28] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Happy Birthday,  Katherine. Looks like your birthday luncheon was a big success
[18:28] * The_Bee sets out vanilla ice cream with maple syrup, hot fudge sauce, and honey
[18:29] <HoundMistress> Happy belated Birthday, KK
[18:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Some chai would be nice
[18:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Without tea there is only chaos and darkness. Especially in my brain in the mornings before tea.
[18:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Are you certain you aren't a Brit, DR?
[18:29] <KK> It was delightful. Biggest scallops I think I've ever seen--and boy, were they tasty!
[18:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> When I take over the world, everyone will have to stop what they're doing at 4 pm local time for afternoon tea.
[18:29] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> "Without tea there is only chaos and darkness" sounds like a UK mood.  😄
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Definitely of British stock but that's the best I can do. 🤣
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Scallops are very tasty!
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I think I need that on a t-shirt
[18:30] * ~bynw will keep his Pepsi over Tea
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Tea, or scallops, Evie?
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Mostly I drink mine iced but the point stands.
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> No, you pour the tea over the Peps...I mean, keep those separate, please!
[18:30] * The_Bee sets a pot of tea and a pot of chai on the table
[18:30] <HoundMistress> I love Pepsi, Bynw
[18:30] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Not the sae medicinal effect bynw
[18:31] * ~bynw is drinking his pepsi right now
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> "Without tea there is only chaos and darkness"  <--T-shirt
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Oh, yes, that works
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Tea shirt
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Not the same medicinal effect bynw
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> 😄
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Tea dyed tea-shirt
[18:31] <KK> Sounds like a good manifesto.
[18:31] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Awaiting the deluge of fish. 🤣
[18:31] <~bynw> i really cant stand the taste of tea ... tastes like someone went outside in the fall and gathered up a bunch of leaves and twigs and ground them up
[18:32] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> You haven't had the right teas, then
[18:32] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That is exactly what they did bynw.  and I love it
[18:32] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Eh, let him dislike tea. More for me. 😁
[18:32] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Sounds like you don't like regular black tea, like the usual Lipton sort
[18:32] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> We'll forgive your lack of sophistication, Bynw 😉
[18:33] <~bynw> Kelly likes Tea and she can have it
[18:33] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Especially if you don't like tannins, black tea can be a bit harsh
[18:33] <KK> Reminds me, there's a word for the act of throwing a fish: cornoble. (There may be 2 n's.)
[18:33] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I wake up and decide to join chat to hear Bynw dismissing tea!!
[18:33] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> There's an actual word for it?!  😄
[18:33] <~bynw> i've had southern sweet tea, tea with lemon, and it all tastes the same to me
[18:33] * CambersGhost [discord] <shiral_> pours Revanne a soothing cup of Darjeeling
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Looks like you had a good birthday KK.
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello Revanne
[18:34] <KK> Darjeeling is good, but I'm an Earl Grey fan.
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> hi Revanne
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> That must be why you woke up revanne to straighten Bynw out
[18:34] <HoundMistress> Hi Revanne
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi Revanne.
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Earl and I go way back
[18:34] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Those are all usually made with a black or orange pekoe tea, Bynw.
[18:35] <KK> Good Sunday, Revanne?
[18:35] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Builders' tea for me
[18:35] <~bynw> sorry revanne but i just don't like it. never have. one of my brothers likes it but i dont
[18:35] <The_Bee> Hi Revanne
[18:35] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Yes thank you KK
[18:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I do love my Constant Comment.
[18:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes, that's good
[18:36] * ~bynw has enjoyed his dinner tonight though. 2 fillet minons, a baked potato with butter, and a side salad
[18:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> I prefer Earl Grey,  but I do love a rasppberry tea.
[18:36] <HoundMistress> That sounds good, Bynw
[18:36] <KK> Constant Comment is not bad.  Haven't had it in years.
[18:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> That sounds yummy Bynw.
[18:36] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Yumm, Bynw
[18:36] <The_Bee> raspberry tea? me too
[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Two filet minions? did you win the lottery?
[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> My brother bought some very good tea back from India for me which he gave me as a birthday gift.
[18:37] <KK> <Two> filets?!
[18:37] * ~bynw notes that football has sucked this weekend. since the 3 teams he watches (2 college, 1 nfl) have all lost
[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I'm getting funny images of steak minions....
[18:37] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I misread that as "two fileted Minions" (as in the yellow kind from "Despicable Me,") and was horrified. But I hope the steak was tasty. 😉
[18:37] <~bynw> yes 2 ... they were like 4 or 5 oz each
[18:38] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I saw it in DFK's comment...
[18:38] <~bynw> i normally do an 8oz ribey or ny strip
[18:38] <~bynw> ribye
[18:38] <KK> Wow, Kelly must realy love you!
[18:38] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> As long as the steak doesn't sing or laugh, I'm good
[18:38] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Two filet mignons? did you win the lottery?
[18:38] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> or moo
[18:38] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Also good
[18:38] <~bynw> they were on sale a few weeks back
[18:38] <~bynw> so we snagged a few
[18:39] <CambersGhost> [discord] <stnezz> Hey we have a Rev
[18:39] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My map app is set to a Minions theme at the moment, so I get Minions chiming in with driving instructions ever so helpfully
[18:39] <~bynw> an NY strip was on sale this week so i snagged 3 or 4 of them
[18:39] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> If she didn't runn and hide her tea after all those comments
[18:39] <~bynw> what can i say. i like steak
[18:39] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> Sounds like her tea stash is safe from Bynw
[18:40] <KK> Didn't know you could change map themes.
[18:40] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> On Waze, you can
[18:40] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> What is Waze? a map app?
[18:40] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes
[18:41] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> James (my partner) could talk about steak all day long. He prefers his just barely cooked.
[18:41] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> I cannot partake for health reasons.
[18:41] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> My google maps voice sometimes changes all by itself. And very occasionally decides to go to kilometres instead of miles.
[18:41] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Waze was great until it made me take a U turn at the same place, three trips in a row to the same place...
[18:41] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Oops
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> I have the British guy doing my Waze narration so I can tell him not to mansplain to me how to get out of/back into my own neighborhood.
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Lol!
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <azdesertrose> Mostly I run it for traffic snarl avoiding reasons.
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> Google maps has a mind of its own and sometimes tries to send you in the wrong direction. I don't trust it
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Same
[18:42] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I mainly rely on Waze to get me around traffic jams
[18:43] <CambersGhost> [discord] <sarah_thejellylady> Google maps and i argue sometimes, but alot less than I argued with Waze so... 🤷�♀️
[18:43] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Otherwise I know my way to and from work very well, just not always which route will be the fastest on any given morning or evening.
[18:43] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I find it generally goid though sometimes it sends ne down roads I'n sure haven't been resurfacex since the Romans left.
[18:43] <The_Bee> Google likes to micro-manage.  They tell you every twist in a bike path.
[18:43] <CambersGhost> [discord] <laurnarose> Never heard of Waze  what is it.
[18:44] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> LOL! Yes, mine will occasionally send me on very strange routes, but only if traffic is hopelessly snarled on the interstate with no logical way around the jam on any of the more conventional routes. But it's a lifesaver at those times, because it finds routes I didn't even know existed.
[18:44] <CambersGhost> [discord] <derynifank> I do use Google maps to look at traffic, just not which way to go
[18:45] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Google Maps is good at telling you how to avoid traffic.
[18:45] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's similar to Google Maps, Laurna, but it also tracks other Waze users in real time and if there is a sudden traffic jam, it sees how others are finding ways around it and then updates driving routes for you accordingly
[18:45] <CambersGhost> [discord] <shiral_> I remember getting royally lost when some map told me to make a  "Sharp left" when I really maded to make a plain old U turn.
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> So if there is an accident on my main route, either Waze or Google Maps will let me know, but often Waze is better at helping me quickly find a way to bypass it using a route I would never have dreamed of using (sometimes because I didn't know it existed).
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> At the moment trying to guess which roads are flooded is the main trick. Especially on the really narrow country lanes round here.
[18:46] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yes, neither is really helpful for something like avoiding flash flooding.
[18:47] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Though with Waze you can add road hazards and such and then other users can confirm if those hazards are still there or if they are gone
[18:48] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> I wonder if Waze is a purely US thing, I haven't heard of it over here.
[18:48] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Not sure.  You could check your app store on your phone and see if it is available there.
[18:49] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Sounds like a good plan
[18:49] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Though it is one of those things that I suspect works best if others in your area are using it also, since it gets some of its real time feedback from tracking where the active app users are and what routes they are taking.
[18:50] <CambersGhost> [discord] <revanne_> Maybe I need to see if our local very free range sheep are using it.
[18:50] <CambersGhost> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And any map app is only as good as the availability of maps for a given area in it.
[18:50] <The_Bee> Now that's a thought1
[18:51] <KK> Gotta go, guys.  The knee is starting to complain about being bent under the desk. Good to see you all, and see you next week!
