Many thanks to those who’ve left honest reviews on both Twisted Tropes and Rimworld- Diversions! AND both are over the magic 50 reviews! Greatly appreciated!!!
Now it’s onward and upward, er…
Trying to catch up with the short stories I owe folks. Which means research… Sigh…
At one point I looked up and had NINE @@#$#%@! tabs open looking at various things for THREE different shorts.
Hey Muse, I’m trying to write four, but NOT all at once, please, especially since once is MilSF, one is urban fiction, and one is historical fiction. The LAST thing I want to do is cross those streams… sigh
And it’s HOT out here. According to something that floated through my feed the other day, we should all be dead since it’s over 100F. I’m guessing the author was European, and must be fairly young, because we survived this heat back in the 50s and 60s WITHOUT air conditioning in most homes… Kids these days. I really wonder about them.
Anyhoo, back to the keyboard. Y’all have a good week and stay cool!
Edit- And I’ve ordered author copies of Diversions, no idea when they will show up… sigh

Off topic rant removed… geez…
The Democrat party put Biden in office, not the Democrat voters. We’ll probably never know how many actual votes, by living, registered, American citizen voters he really got.
I’ve been in Texas in August. It rivals Florida for heat related misery. I really don’t miss it. If I hit Powerball for a gazillion dollars, I’d try to find a place where it was within a few degrees of 70 every day of the year but didn’t have Hurricanes or Typhoons.
Regarding the heat, we used to play outside in the summer when it was 100+, no problems as long as we drank water (from the hose – I think the plastic in the water protected us from heat injury!) 😉
Dad related how growing up in Wichita Falls, it fairly often didn’t go below 90+ at night. He and his sisters would run water in the tub and wet their bedsheets several times a night so the fan blowing over them would provide some evaporative cooling, otherwise they were too hot to sleep. They thought they had died and gone to heaven when they got their first swamp cooler.
Ed- LOL
Mike- Yep, couldn’t agree more!
Tom- Oh yeah, we ARE of that age group… sigh
I guess I’m dead several times over. I spent five years in Phoenix. Every summer it went over 110F and one summer it got to 122F. Not sure how the Native Americans survived for hundreds of years prior to Willis Carrier inventing air conditioning. Maybe being European she’s thinking 100 Celsius.
NRW- LOL, try Saudi or Oman, or…anywhere over there.
Hey Old NFO;
Hurry up and write, LOL
I’m running around with the windows down and the moonroof open on the Focus, even though the A/C works really good.
Write on!
Me? Editing, which is a chore and a burden but whoever said life’d be easy?
I spent 5 hot, humid summers in Philly before I could afford to get an air conditioner. I used to look forward to going to work because of the A/C!
