Now let me get back to pictures from Motor City Furry Con 2022.

New to this convention was a team of ferret suiters, the ``Four Dooks of the Apocalypse''. Here, the Ferret of Famine (note the bowl of candy signed ``Tired? Hungry? GOOD'') takes the blow from the Ferret of Death's scythe.

Death and Disease look on at Famine's fate. I think Death is taking a selfie.

Lone dancer entertaining people like me who're dashing out to their cars.

And it turns out Earthshaker was back! Someone in wolf tail plays a game.

Popular the whole weekend were Dance Dance Revolution and the Quick & Crash shooting game.

Walking around the halls, seeing another ... not sure if this is a rat or opossum, actually. There's a lot of both around lately.

Trivia: The (apochryphal) Books of Enoch and of Jubilees, dating from Maccabean times, mention a calendar of 364 days containing 52 weeks, with the year divided into four quarters of months of 30, 30, and 31 days, and warn about abandoning this year in favor of a lunar year. Source: Mapping Time: The Calendar and its History, EG Richards. (Wikipedia states that each quarter of the year began on a Wednesday, as it was on the fourth day of Creation that the stars, the Sun and Moon, the seasons, the days, and the years were created.) (Also, yeah, not all Jewish and Christian sects regard the books as apocryphal, but most traditions do seem to regard them as interesting and informative but not Biblical.)
