💥💰Oh hot blood, love is gonna get ya~
Happy Yeehawgust everyone! I missed this comic (check out @hbzarco for the latest in that world) something fierce, so I reread it recently~ Nothing quite like those vast, sweeping Wyoming landscapes, the flora and fauna, and the quiet moments between crime where these two found each other 🥰 I've always wanted to do art for this story, and playing around between my style and this one was a delight!
Drawn for @yeehawgust for Day 27: A Whole Heap of Trouble

Edwin embarked on the journey towards the imposing Abernathy estate, traversing the familiar landscape that separated their humble abode from the grandeur of the Abernathy property. Despite its proximity, Edwin had never ventured there before in pursuit of employment, as he had assumed their farm, with its modest reputation, wouldn't require his services. However, the recent vacancy presented an unexpected opportunity, prompting Edwin to approach with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty.
He was struck by the grandeur of the estate; not only was the mansion imposing, but the sprawling grounds surrounding it were also breathtaking. While it might not have been the largest residence in the village given the extensive Abernathy family holdings, its magnificence was undeniable.
Edwin patiently waited, his anxiety growing with each passing minute as he hoped for an opportunity. When finally ushered into Mr. Abernathy's study, he couldn't help but feel small in the grandeur of the room. The opulence of the furnishings and the air of authority emanating from Mr. Abernathy made Edwin feel acutely aware of his own humble circumstances.
However, he steeled himself, determined to make his case convincingly despite the intimidating surroundings. With each word he spoke, Edwin poured his heart into explaining his situation, hoping that Mr. Abernathy would see past his modest appearance and recognize his earnestness and willingness to work hard.
Although Mr. Abernathy initially showed hesitation towards Edwin's proposal, expressing that he had already met with more qualified candidates for the job, Edwin pressed on. Despite feeling somewhat embarrassed about his persistence, he felt he had no choice. He informed Mr. Abernathy that he required no lodging or additional perks beyond a salary for his work. This arrangement diverged from the customary practice where workers lived on the estate as part of their service. Instead, Edwin would continue residing on his own farm and commute to work each morning from there.
Eventually, whether due to Edwin's persistence or because he genuinely managed to convince him, Mr. Abernathy agreed. Edwin finally secured the job he had been diligently seeking for so long, a position that would not only offer his family financial security but also a sense of stability beyond what the farm's earnings could provide.

St Lawrence church Abbots Langley
While living in Abbots Langley as a child Fitzjames and the Coninghams attended St Lawrence Parish Church. Robert Coningham was buried in the churchyard in May 1836 under a small walnut tree. Today I went to look for his grave, but there is no walnut tree to be found. His grave appears to have become one with nature, overgrown and obscured from sight.
Rest in peace.

That Chinese balloon is now sleeping with the fishes off the coast of South Carolina. Actually, retrieving as much of it as possible would be a useful intelligence move.
U.S. officials first detected the balloon and its payload on January 28 when it entered U.S. airspace near the Aleutian Islands. The balloon traversed Alaska, Canada and re-entered U.S. airspace over Idaho. "President Biden asked the military to present options and on Wednesday President Biden gave his authorization to take down the Chinese surveillance balloon as soon as the mission could be accomplished without undue risk to us civilians under the balloon's path," said a senior defense official speaking on background. "Military commanders determined that there was undue risk of debris causing harm to civilians while the balloon was overland."
An F-22 Raptor fighter from the 1st Fighter Wing at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, fired one AIM-9X Sidewinder missile at the balloon.
The balloon fell approximately six miles off the coast in about 47 feet of water. No one was hurt.
47 feet/14.32 meters of water isn’t terribly deep. That’s less than the height of a five-story building. Locating the debris is probably a greater challenge than recovering it. Being shot down over US territorial waters makes that easier.
Examining what’s left of the data collection hardware should explain what its purpose was. But for the most part, China could get the same information from its satellites.
Long before the shoot down, U.S. officials took steps to protect against the balloon's collection of sensitive information, mitigating its intelligence value to the Chinese. The senior defense official said the recovery of the balloon will enable U.S. analysts to examine sensitive Chinese equipment. "I would also note that while we took all necessary steps to protect against the PRC surveillance balloon's collection of sensitive information, the surveillance balloon's overflight of U.S. territory was of intelligence value to us," the official said. "I can't go into more detail, but we were able to study and scrutinize the balloon and its equipment, which has been valuable."
Contrary to GOP politicians and hyperventilating far right media, the balloon was not a military threat to the USA.
The balloon did not pose a military or physical threat. Still its intrusion into American airspace over several days was an unacceptable violation of U.S. sovereignty. The official said Chinese balloons briefly transited the continental United States at least three times during the prior administration.
Maybe Trump was hiding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago to cover up his failures regarding those three instances when Chinese balloons floated over US airspace during his administration.
Former Director of National Intelligence (2010-2017) James Clapper spoke with Jim Acosta at CNN. Mr. Clapper described the Chinese use of the balloon as “ham-handed” and questioned what good it did for Xi Jinping.
There are good reasons the US military didn’t attempt to shoot down the balloon until it was over the ocean. The safety of people on the ground was just one of the reasons.
This article was published before the balloon was brought down...
Shooting down a suspected Chinese spy balloon could be a lot harder than it sounds, former Navy pilot says
Why doesn't the US just shoot down the suspected Chinese spy balloon floating around parts of the country like a growing chorus of GOP lawmakers, as well as former President Donald Trump, are demanding?
Because it's not that simple, a former Navy pilot told Insider.
Attempting to take out the high-altitude balloon with the air defense systems the US has is "very difficult," it's hard to engage it with fighter aircraft, and shooting it down also risks injuries and fatalities on the ground, explained Brynn Tannehill, a former naval aviator and senior technical analyst at the RAND Corporation think tank.
Balloons like the one that was spotted this week over the continental US can operate at more than 100,000 feet, and according to Tannehill, most US anti-air weapons systems were not "designed" to eliminate targets that high up.
Most systems "weren't designed to shoot down things operating at the kinds of high altitude balloons can operate at," Tannehill said, explaining that an aircraft would likely struggle to get close enough to it to get within gun range, either.
[ ... ]
[M]issile systems, both surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles, "aren't designed to attack balloons because balloons don't look like the kind of valid targets that they were designed to attack," like enemy aircraft or missiles.
"They don't move like a cruise missile," Tannehill said of these kinds of balloons. "They look more like a cloud or chaff, and modern missiles are designed to ignore chaff," a kind of radar countermeasure.
"It's very difficult with what we have, because what we have was not meant to shoot down balloons," she said.
For perspective, that balloon was about twice as high as commercial airliners fly.
