Ariolus, Paracord, and the Pop-Up Fire and Fury

He's back! He's Ariolus Maximus,  a Granado Boyd who used to belong to Miss Ally (he was never painted there) and now he has a mahvelous new face by Alewife. She traded me for an extra head, and I think I got the best part of the trade :D Isn't he the cutest? She sent some little leather bracers with him too, which he will wear with pride. <3 <3 Also in from Amazon, the paracord! All one nice continuous length, and it's 3mm despite the label claiming it was 2.5 mm. Perfect weight and stretch, too! Lots of people here need to be restrung, so I am glad to have a big hunk of it. And finally, an artistic version of Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury from IAmHappyToast on twitter: A sample page: I'm 2/3 of the way through the actual book, and I am finding it actually somewhat sympathetic to Trump--it certainly doesn't make him look like a genius, but it makes Bannon look like the real villain of history.

You do have to convert from English to metric to figure out the size you need; 3mm is about 1/8 of an inch. They had the 100 foot reel I wanted in stock, and it is supposed to show up next Thursday. I'll take a photo, and if it looks good, I will order another reel of 4 or 4.5 mm. Maybe in Coyote Brown. Then I need to restring some floppy people.
