Long ago, gargoyles existed only on buildings within the hearts of cities. Decaying, polluted, noisy, cities. But this is the 21st century! A time of marvels, a time of changes, a time for all right-thinking gargoyles to get the hell out of Dodge, and find a place where one can breathe the air without having to chew it first.<\/p>\n

Alas, it’s not easy being granite in a world ruled by protoplasm-based lifeforms (or “squishies”, as my kind likes to call ’em). But the Odd Gods were kind, and I found a lovely home in the ‘burbs, less than an hour’s drive from The City. It’s a pretty good home, all in all. Lots of fresh air, things to do, and places to lurk.<\/p>\n

The house’s squishies and me get along pretty good. Let me show you my “brave new world”, and my explorations therein<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/th>\nGardening is a special joy for me, being a city-bred type and all. Here’s a picture of me tending a flock of tomatoes. Just getting ripe, and mighty fine eating! Especially when sprinkled with some powdered cat.<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
A gargoyle (or squishy) doesn’t live by food alone, so I like to balance my gardening with some “just for fun” plants. Some are pleasantly scented, and some are just plain fun to look at.<\/th>\n\"\"<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/th>\nAlthough I enjoy a healty outdoors-oriented lifestyle, I also like to keep my mind and wits sharp. There’s no better way to do that than to settle down with a good book, listening to some nice music.<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
It’s nice to have an indoor-ish hobby for the winter months, so I’ve started puttering around in Mr. Fumblethumb’s workshop. And, yes, even I pay strict attention to workshop safety, and wear the appropriate safety equipment.<\/th>\n\"\"<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"<\/th>\nAt the end of a hot day, nothing beats sitting outside with a cold beer, watching the universe unfold!<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
