The curvature in the ground is a side-effect of the clumsy piecewise perspective transforms.

Unbar, is this the same artist you used for the other cover?

One thing you might do is leave Tommy a bit smaller, but keep him close to the viewer (no space under him) and have him looking up to the threat.

We don't see any of tke hero's face, only gis back and a dark far-profile.

There's too much space given over to the background elements, and too much separation between him and them.

I'll amplify later when fully awake.

By mistake when President Sloe Jobee got the names confused.

Bay or bow?  Bow windows certainly are used on upper floors.  A bay window requires an extension of the building, at least at that floor but sometimes across multiple floors.  Yes, it's done.  If you can get a good view of the southern facade of NY Presbyterian Hospital (formerly NY Cornell Medical Center) you should be able to see a pair of multistory bays ending (or shrinking) somewhere around the twentieth floor.  The western facade also has a multistory bay.  (Hospitals often have corridors ending in bays to provide visitor seating while staff is with a patient.)

Got mine last Monday last week.  No problems.

Do they use a different formula in Canada?

For AJ especially, from Kate Paulk's ConVent:

B2, Ch16: The Rockpile

Try a vacuum windshield mount.  The key is to moisten the suction cup ever so slightly before you press it in place and flip the lock lever.  With the surfaces clean and a little moisture, it should hold for three to six months.

The changes I worked out in the hospital and just after are in and working.  There's one bit of fine tuning to try.  I'm getting a brighter flash and probably better battery life.  I have a pageful of flash pulse data, to take again after the change.  And I want to try it with the lithium iron disulfide batteries Eveready sells.  Their discharge curve is high, flat, and sharp.  It will be an interesting, if pricey, test.

Then finish the last test article to test the final layout and begin drilling and cutting the case.

Time for me to say where I've been, especially since I owe a lot of reviews.

I'm still getting myself together after the illness.  I'm trying to get the flasher project done.  It keeps wanting to spawn side projects, but I'm trying to hold firm.  I have lots of parts to file now.

Editing of the previous chapter is simmering on the back burner.  The missing chapters before are in the fridge.  I've been working on parts for the next chapter.  Description is slowing me mightily, and this place (various names, but i expect to call the chapter =The Rockpile=) will introduce Merran to some of the sleazier parts of the Academy. (Not nearly the most evil.)

I hope this is as parlously close to pornography as I ever get.  I need a way to put the idea of brain bleach in ... but Merran isn't wise enough yet to want it.

Right now I've got fragments and ideas that need to be put in order, with more notes on description than I can use ... and I've only covered a quarter of what's needed.

The strength of the springy parts seems not to be standardized.

I tried a TomTom once and returned within the hour.  Neither TT nor Garmin is safe to use in a moving vehicle unless all you want it for is to tell you where to go.  If you want it for a quick-adjustable map, their different modes and different behaviors in the modes make them almost as bad as texting.

And I cringe when I see them in the middle of the windshield blocking a critical part of the driver's view.
