At this time of the year I am often somewhat stressed, due to fairly densely packed days at work, prepairing for varios and assorted holiday activities taking place less than a mile from my flat ccoking surface.

or to put it another way, i get to spend several days making ready the stuff what gets cooked morning, afternoon, and evening of July fourth, which will be served to the people attending the parade out front of the resteraunt, and watching the fireworks set off at the highschool behind it.

so please do not take it personaly if I seem somewhat cranky replying to you the next few days.


just a picture of a somewhat older tails, which has been kicking about my sketchpad for a few months now.


(Additional)

The idea was, Tails is on the roof at night, doing a bit of stargazing. The blanket is there for personal comfort, as would also be the case for the thermos.

The pants are there for my personal comfort, as I have mostly work on this image in public and at church, and did not wish to have to explain certain anatomical pieces to passersby, parents, or police. Just saying.
