One of the reasons I like the #Discworld #TerryPratchett books is the bits with long term plans that go well past the scope of the current book.
Like when #LordVetinari decided that it would be of great benefit to the city to make sure #PonderStibbons had all the engineering supplies he wanted.
#Discworld
One of the few things that surprised #LordVetinari is realizing that #PonderStibbons is the true genius keeping the wizard university running.
Vetinari promises to himself to make sure Stibbons had enough equipment to keep him busy. WIth productive positive things. Not other things...
#PonderStibbons occasionally wandering into the bar called Callahan's from Spider Robinson's book series. And nobody quite noticing, because if a guy in wizard robes wants a quiet drink in the corner, that's his business. Callahan's regulars don't pry. Unless you ask them to.
