Just a facade


So farewell to Petra.

Upright


Still in good nick, some of it (yes, Petra, in Jordan), and fiercely photogenic.

Steady now


Got a bit carried away with the settings. Sorry. Must stop staring at walls. Penultimate Petra picture, promise.

Speaking of rocks, chain gambits? Meta-strategies? I always thought there was more to stone, paper, scissors than met the eye. Some gambit names:

Avalanche (RRR)
Bureaucrat (PPP)
Crescendo (PSR)
Dénouement (RSP)
Fistfull o’ Dollars (RPP)
Paper Dolls (PSS)
Scissor Sandwich (PSP)
Toolbox (SSS)

A heartfelt letter on the cruelty of The Third Throw, and even SPS haiku.
