[quote=@Leidenschaft] We're not burning the dead. We're hunkering down for a siege and the wood would be better used for fires and the oil would be better used for lanterns and throwing down the walls. The dead are being buried in either a mass grave, or if they have friends, are being buried by them. [/quote] [@gcold][@Leidenschaft] Thank you both, this clarifies a lot. [quote=@Leidenschaft] The ocean just makes me cold, the only thing I hate more than when summer makes me hot. I kind of miss living in Vegas, just one state of perpetual heat that you honestly get used to. I never used to notice it, even, but then I moved to Washington and I end up cursing the rain and wishing for summer and then when summer comes I just wish it wouldn't be so fucking hot. [/quote] Oh yes, it was very cold indeed, the water that is! Then again, we visited now, in January, than in the summer, so no wonder it was so damned cold. I used to mainly live in the Midwest region, but now I live in the southwest, New Mexico to be exact, and I prefer it much better than the Midwest, it was always so damned humid back there! The only thing I do miss, is the trees, and the grass. But I live next to a mountain, so I get to see plenty of that when I go (:
