Aftermath

Well, it took a couple of days, but there was a big sale at Artists Emporium so Dawn and I stopped at the Tim's on the way and Dave and I finally got our double doubles.

This is how the zombie apocalypse begins.

Okay, first off let's be serious for a moment:

The Chernobyl explosion was a horrific disaster that could have rendered the entirety of Europe uninhabitable. Thousands of people died (some of them slower than others) and millions were affected. There's a lot of really important things to unpack in the history of what happened, why it occurred, what people did about it, and how it impacts the world today.

However, putting that aside for a moment:

Check out this cool lady bug that hitched a ride out of the exclusion zone in my backpack!

It can't be too radioactive, we passed through two rounds of military controlled checkpoints on our way out. People, and vehicles (including interiors) are scanned for radiation before they're allowed to exit.

Still, if there's an outbreak of mutant insects across Europe you know who to blame.

Stow away!

Naturally we packed baby carrots
for bunny snacking.

Sadly the real bunnies can't join me on my four week language and cultural tour of Ukraine, but Stunt Bunny is the next best thing!

Thankfully the fluffs are in really good hands. Hopefully they won't have too many wild parties while I'm away.

I'm sure they will be raiding the yard for dandelions plenty though!
