Trouble Ahead

InstaCart workers, angry over the (lack of) protection they are receiving, are planning a nationwide strike beginning on Monday.

I can't blame them, but this is very bad news. Schnucks uses InstaCart for deliveries.

Connections

I mentioned that I was rereading the half-dozen Discworld novels that followed _The Fifth Elephant_, and that I felt they were connected. I just finished _Night Watch_, and noticed two internal connections I hadn't realized before.

The event that threw Vimes and Carcer back in time almost has to be the catastrophe at the center of _Thief of Time_. So here's a plot connection between books belonging to different subseries.

Also, there's a discussion of foreign affairs early on involving Vimes and, I think, Vetinari, concerning the possibility of war between a couple of small countries - the same two countries that actually did go to war in _Monstrous Regiment_ - a standalone, though Vimes and some other Watchmen, and also William de Worde (from _Truth_), put in cameos.

These aren't tight connections, but plot connections between different subseries or standalones are pretty rare in Pratchett, so these interested me.
