Netflix blessed me with the first season of The Tick. Good Background stuff to play while getting other bits and pieces in order. It seems a bit more simple and primitave than I remember, but still entertaining. The first Season is surely the best one, in my opinion.
"Pajama police" is a great wise guy name for costumed supers.
Getting together with Danny today, probably for just a gabfest and some sushi. Possibly Zoom? It's gotten pretty bad reviews. We'll probably grab another day this weekend, too... take advantage of the Labor Day weekend. Maybe some putt-putt with Tina and Co. too, if it's still on. Walkabout would be nice, too - time, weather and health permitting.
At night projections from moving cars are shone on the buildings downtown. Each car projects a video of a wild animal. The animal’s movements are programmed to correspond to the speed of the car: as the car moves, the animal runs along it speeding up and slowing down with the car, as the car stops, the animal stops also. The framerate of the movie corresponds to the speed of the wheel rotation, picked up by a sensor. If the presence of a moving object (such as another car or pedestrian) is detected with proximity sensors, its animal "avatar" appears in the projection.

Babies, chum: tiny, dimpled, fleshy mirrors of our us-ness, that our parents hurl into the future, like leathery footballs of hope. And you've got to get a good spiral on that baby, or evil will make an interception."
