Reasonably pleased with myself: Just reworked a passage for critique by the Tuesday Writing Group. Great group, smart, cooperative encouraging. In the 3 years I have been a member, Everybody in group has grown in ability. Life can be good.

It's December at last and officially winter. The second story in my Aero Rangers series, 1923/Army of the Dead is supposed to publish sometime in the next few weeks, from Ellipsis Imprints. Full of hope and anticipation,

Egad, the suspense generated by Epsteingate is killin' me, and I'm not even on the List. How do the Big Name Pedos tolerate it? At least we have a nice juicy scandal to while away the days while the last shreds of our constitutional republic burn. Give us porn and circuses.

So what happens next? Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, The US Navy blasts it open.. Iran begins a covert guerilla war in US cities. Trump is Forced to declare Martial Law, and 'poof' our civil rights disappear, next elections 'postponed' due to civil unrest.. so it goes.

I AM. Telling Rep. John Carter unfortunately-not-from-Mars to file articles of impeachment...is definitely resistance. I hit both Senators with letters yesterday. Will hit them by phone today if I can get through.

Episode LVI, Dueling Socopaths: I see Melon Husk has parted ways with Golden Taco. Not surprising, considering the hyperinflated Egos involved. What next??? What if somebody put on a parade, but nobody attended- or lined the streets but turned their backs? Interesting Times.

Tripped and fell going up my niece's walk. Knocked the whey outa my side. Now reclining in my big chair with ice. At least I didn't break nose this time. Getting old and unstable is a drag. Meanwhile back to manuscripts.

Howdy friends: I got a chance to see the first 2 episodes of Marfha Wells Murderbot on Apple TV, Happy to report the video version is everything I hoped for. Looking forward to next Friday's episode.

Tarrifs make us efficient? Bullshit! Remember the 80s. with massive hostile corporate takeovers? We were assured huge debts were Good for corporations, making them mean and lean. Didn't work out so hot when the fed had to bail out big corps like Chrysler. Big debt doesn't ease your burdens.

Grummp: watched first 2 episodes of 'Severance' with friemds last nite. Watching paint peel would have been more interesting. If they invite me over again to see more episodes (they are cherished friends) I will be sure to take toenail clippers to add excitement.

I have apretty good idea why Hillary was running her email on a prvate server: security-she didn't trust the official ones. So why are High Officials chatting on an unsecured line. Two possibilities: 1.They are Stoopid, or 2. they were trying to avoid FOI regs?

Grump: I have spent the morning trying to unravel several skeins of my work in progress. things popping off in various places that must go in coherent order for the reader, while maintaining the timeline, Then re-number chapters. Its the drudge work of writing. Grrr.

Ack-ack. I watched most of the noon Press Opportunity at the us White House. What a Mess. US president and vice president were complete idiots, threatening/bullying Pres.Zelensky, (Z handled himself rather well) So much for 'Peace in our time.' We elected a pack of fools and scoundrels.

Travel alters perception: Bro. Paul at hooterville diner: "I've gotta get out of this lousy town." Guy on next stool. "Heck, Hooter is good as any other town." Bro. P: "Have you ever lived in another town?" Guy: "No" Bro P."Then how would you know? Hooter is a pit!" and it was true.
