## Notes

This was our second time seeing _Pepperland_ -- the first being about five years ago [xref](https://www.funfolks.net/dw/doku.php?id=2018:2018-09:2018-09-28) -- and it's striking to re-read that review and see that things haven't much changed. I guess there's no reason to fiddle with something that works, right?
