Sorry for my tardiness: I got sick early Friday morning and was in bed for three solid days. I then recovered enough to see my DENVER MOTHERFUCKING NUGGETS!!!! do the damned thing tonight and am now getting to the computer for the first time in freaking days.

Thanks for another round of Fortnight! It's kind of like a mixture of QOD "important" stuff, Decades pop culture with a little Timeline twist.

Keep up the good basketball work! Stay away from post 1986 baseball, post 20th century automobiles (I still haven't figured out wtf Stellantis is, Walter has got to be turning over in his grave) and add in some true crime and it will be perfection!

Okay, it's between Apollo 6 and 10 and I think the evens were the good ones, so 8?
Something like Earth Awakens?

Fun aside: I have an "oil painting" app that puts out 10 new pictures each day to colour by number. One of today's was a rendering of the photograph! Too bad I wasn't interested enough to go any further than 'oh, that's the moon picture' and actually read up on it. Too bad my laziness sometimes trumps my curiosity...ha!
