Morning Cleanup

I have to preface this post with a comment and an apology. Apparently some foreign power decided to spike something I ate with a toxin which forced my body to violently reject any and all food I've consumed in the past ........oh.......6 or 7 days.......... (at least that's what it seemed like). This exercise took most of the night and I'm cranky.

In addition, I have yet to remember to take photos before I deal with a situation. So, dear reader, you will have to use your imagination for part of what follows.

I have a routine in the morning where I walk around the various islands checking things out, sometimes tweaking things, planning changes, etc. Lately this has become more interesting because the winter island allows residents to rezz items (I thought people might want to bring their own winter sports equipment and was trying to make it user friendly). Of course, once they've rezzed something they can transport it to the other islands.

That bed of ruby thyme in the pic above had an unwelcome addition this morning. A big red pickup truck with a giant penis in the back aiming towards the sky like an anti-ballistic missile. (I told you that you would have to use your imagination!)

I returned this intruder to the owner and looked at his profile. Now if he was a newbie I would have just let it go - you know how they like to get freebies and tend to litter. This guy is over a year old though and by now should have figured out what is and isn't PG. So I banned him (told you I was cranky).

When I got to the winter island I discovered that the same guy had installed a 3 level house boat just off the coast. There was somebody on the roof rezzing boxes so I thought I'd go find out wtf they were thinking. When I arrived on the roof the guy said "Ciao, Italiano" and tp'ed away. So I banned him and returned the houseboat to the owner.

This couple is pictured here only because in the few lucid moments I had overnight I would come inworld to check things out. They were there 8 hours ago, 5 hours ago, and just now. Not in the same place mind you - they have done a bit of sightseeing. Guess they really like snow. :)
