Säntis selfie

Panorama from atop Säntis mountain in Appenzell, northeast Switzerland. On a clear day you can see 6 countries from here.

6903-1: Bug Blaster, 1998. This small flying wedge doesn’t have anything very-insecty about it apart from the single forward-facing compound eye thingy. Includes an alien carrying a crystal with a magnetic sticker (but no magnet).


6837-1: Cosmic Creeper, 1998. Ant-like ground vehicle driven by an Insectoid alien features large compound eyes and magnetic mandibles. The entire front (head) swings up for some reason that I couldn’t fathom.


About a month ago I started playing a tabletop fantasy RPG with my son. It’s been close to 20 years since I played, and I’m super stoked to be able to share this with him.

Ah, August in Switzerland: about to put the hood up on my hoodie because I’m cold inside my apartment!
6817-1: Beta Buzzer, 1998. Small winged flyer piloted by an Insectoid alien.


I like the bright green reflection of the pasture in this photo.

It’s also been too long, but today we finally went out on the stand up paddle. Being out on the lake in beautiful weather is my happy place.

It’s been far too long, but today I did a nice hike up to Hochwacht overlooking both Zug and Ägeri lakes: 8.2km, 2h15m, 300m ascent, 20°C.
