Cactus Codex

Well, my vector calc exam went better than expected and now I don’t have anything to do.

I know it’s 11 PM but whatever. TMI Tuesday?

This is the American Gothic. If you’ve never been to the USA, this image sums it up pretty well.

Same, actually.

I see like 8+ restaurants in one phoTO??? OmG 

Welcome to ‘Merca. Buy our shit or get the FUCK out.

This is directly off an interstate exit, for all those travelers who want food and gas. Next couple of blocks likely has several hotels.

Adding to the above because I 100% recognize this place and it’s somewhat interesting for a road guy like me.

This is exit 161 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Breezewood, where I-70 meets I-76 (the turnpike).

It’s special because here, I-70′s freeway going north suddenly stops and all the traffic is dumped onto US-30 for a short distance before turning back around and merging with I-76.

Literally the best place to open up some rest stop shops!

Interstates are not supposed to use surface roads along their route, much less have things like stores on the side or intersections with traffic signals. It’s rather rare, and this is one of the more famous of the freeway gaps. Another one being the entrance to the Holland Tunnel on the NJ side (I-78).

Funfact: The gap can obviously be fixed, but business owners in Breezewood would prefer not to lose all those potential customers literally driving to their doorstep. Thus, the gap remains. Murica!

*me at 11 PM*
Oh right, I have to finish my vector calc work that’s due tomorrow. Well, at least I finished half of it. How bad can the rest be?

*me now*
End my suffering.

Your pupal stage is ending. Soon, you will wake up owning a Sonic OC fursuit

Speaking of which, I should do something special for PC’s fifth birthday in March.

Like update it, HAHAHAHAHAhaahahahaha…

As I enter in the fifth year of being in this fandom, a question comes to mind.

Am I still a brony/pony fan/whatever the term is now? Or have I moved into some weird post-horse stage where I look back on my past in agony while simultaneously questioning my current position on MLP and my future in it?

Old timers, help me out with this one pls.

A downside to not needing to sketch when drawing?

Well, if you’re drawing a commission, the commissioner won’t know that something’s wrong or missing until you show them the flat colors.

And fixing may take as long it did to render the flats to begin with.

Fuuuuuuck.

This is Pando, but it isn’t a forest– it’s all one tree. Each trunk of the Quaking Aspen is genetically identical and connected by a single root system that’s at least 80,000 years old, which means it’s one of the biggest and oldest living things on Earth. Source

No humans; only plants

whatever that is, it’s not a true plant

I think the worst thing to happen in drawing is to start reconsidering how one part of it looks, spending hours redrawing and planning, and then giving up and going back to the original. =_=

I was out in my back yard this weekend, just doing some yard work when something suddenly caught my eye.

Wait. Is that…?

Yes. Yes it is. So I just had to dig it up.

Wow, this pony’s looking rough. How long has it been here? 

I’ve heard of earth ponies, but this is ridiculous! But can we clean her off enough to determine who this mare is?

So, strangely, most of her body seems to be encased in duct tape? Was there a line of toys like that, or was she shielding herself before trying to burrow to the center of Equestria?

Oh. It’s Applejack. That was honestly my first guess.
