Train’s Last Stop, fin

Dirty little secret revealed: Reimi is not a natural blonde. This was not a carpet/drapes revelation, simply a flashback to their childhood. The dark skin’s real, though.

The CG-heavy train chase filled with oddly-whistled deus ex zombie had me worried, but getting the band back together for an emotion-driven teenage-girl reconciliation worked for me. And it didn’t hurt that Our Tiny Hot Doctor grew as well…

Level 2 Cheat Boy, fin

The Big Battle was, as they say, Super Easy Barely An Inconvenience, between Our Retired Demon Lord’s secret weapon and the hot-springs staff’s gimmicked yukata, freeing up the rest of the episode for everyone to hold hands and bathe in the most Bluray-proof nude scene of the season.

Here’s how it should be done:

How To Raise a Wolf-Waifu, episode 13

Epilogue to the gold-smuggling story, and a fond farewell to Our Cuddly Shepherd, who ends up bonding with an under-the-weather Holo over their shared opinion of Lawrence. Next week should get new credits for a new story arc.

Won’t get a chance to visit…

They’re trying to swing the travel budget at work to get me a week on-site at my team’s office in Belfast, probably in September. Out of curiosity, I reviewed the work I did years ago on Ancestry.com to see where my Irish ancestors lived. It looks like Andrew McCausland was in the vicinity of Carnteel Parish, County Tyrone in the mid-1600s, and his pregnant widow Sarah moved to Derry, where son Robert was born. Robert went back to Carnteel to find wife Hannah, but they lived out their lives in Derry (there was apparently land involved). Their son Henry emigrated and found wife Elizabeth in Kennebec, Maine. Their daughter Jane married Seth Greeley, and after raising their children, they lived out their lives in Maineville, Ohio.

This, by the way, makes them Planters aka Scots-Irish, which even centuries later is “problematic”.
