day 14: a rather haggard looking Luna pulls over in a lay-by to inspect a bust gasket that has been fouling the drive shaft of the phase modulator. It’s not all glamour and spirituality in this line of work you know.

Keeping simple tonight & sticking with this gruesome Homeric I always felt sympathy for Polyphemus as he was just going about his daily routine until that scoundrel, Odysseus showed up.
