Welcome

Cherry trees, cotton wood trees and aspen are usually what I think of when I think of trees that grow alog a river. I also think of lindin, scrub oak, and ash. I cant wait to start making the river game. I have so many ideas of things to incorporate into it and it is such a cool use of education, art and science. Also I want to start making art for it with pixel art....

I started playing Endless Sky again. My main plan is to be as a shuttle, pay off the cost of the shuttle, save enough money to mine asteroids, buy a asteroid miner, then make a lot of money for a warship class spaceship. But I have been thinking about the original Escape Velocity and EV Nova. Those games are where I felt like I was a caption visiting other worlds, and I loved the variety of the locations and sounds once you land on a planet....

Hot days make running hard and after being inside all-day, attempting to be active in the afternoon feels like the dog days of summer. The heat feels slightly different these days. The UV also is a concern. The clouds are really nice though, and I still like to be outside. But it really was too hot to run.

Looking up at the mountain, I see a bunch of aspen trees and one dark green evergreen. It is just really dark green. I never really noticed it before from sitting here. It seems to be next to a service road, and zooming in on it with my phone, it appears to be very dark in that too. If I make the ski town/river game I should include a dark tree....

I recently heard that trees and wood is one of the most unique kinds of life in the universe. Its more rare than gold, diamonds and rare minerals. I like thinking that until we discover life, its really unique in the universe. I also think wood can survive in space. Basically until trees are discovered outside the earth, it will be an amazing materiel that we should look after.
