World Peace with Elephants

[madrobins]

When the Spouse texted me to say that Avocado had been successfully decanted on to the camp bus I was sound asleep (time difference...his 9am, my 6am). And I was in the middle of a delightfully odd dream in which, just at that moment, a bunch of aliens had established peace on Earth, and were explaining to me and a few of my companions--this was the tail end of a long, adventure-filled dream with several companions-at-arms--just what they had done. The aliens looked like squared-off bi-pedal elephants with large heads, wearing patchwork suits made of what looked like sharkskin. They sounded rather like Doctor Who (the new Doctor--same timbre, with a vaguely apologetic manner and a quirky sense of humor). They were very appealing, as aliens go. And: world peace? What's not to like?

And then the phone buzzed. Dammit. I feel like the doorbell rang and it was some dude from Porlock.
