"I bore a flame that burned a thousand suns for you, but it died."
Yeah, so...toady was our last gasp of good weather before Ida slams down on the Gulf Coast, the deep breath before the plunge. It's twilight, and the cicadas are marvelously loud. If anyone ever wants to know my favorite sound, it's cicadas. Currently, it's 83˚F, with the heat index at 89˚F. The high was 89˚F, with the heat index at 96˚F.
Despite a raging headache, I was surprisingly productive today. I finished the introduction and geology section for one of the several papers I'm working on. Several, between mosasaurs and turtles. Tomorrow, I write about quadrates. And maybe I can get back to work on "Celebrity Lifestyle."
I listened to a pretty decent reading of "Pickman's Other Model," from the Houses Under the Sea audiobook. It's a story I think holds up well. It might be one of my best.
I watched two episodes of Nova, both from Season 47: "Inside the Megafire" and "The Next Pompeii."
There was a call late in the day from Mike Polcyn, and that brought some very good news, which helped to lift my spirits.
Jesus, I'm fucking tired of being stuck in this damn apartment with its damn weird 1933 cork flooring (see photo, below). It too eighteen months, but I'm finally stir crazy.
Please, have a look at our current eBay auctions. Nothing's free but the air, and I think they may set in taxing that soon. Thank you.
Last night, new episodes of both Ted Lasso and See, so that was cool.
Later Tater Beans,
