The irony of a peaceful transition of power, back to the Horror Clown. Of course, setting aside the far Left, it's what I would expect of the Democratic Party. It's what I would have expected of the Republican Party until...whatever the fuck has happened ( Read more... )

The weather turned yesterday. The sun brought cold weather with its return, something nearer to what the Decembers in Birmingham used to feel like. Yesterday, the high was 54F, and today's was 55F, after a nightly low of 32F. Sunny. Windy ( Read more... )

Chilly day. Cold night. Our high was 55F, and tonight we have a freeze warning.

This morning I put together Sirenia Digest 223, the special surprise issue, only a day after 222 went out. So...booya. I'm waiting to get the PDF from Gordon, and then Spooky will send it to all our subscribers. You're welcome. I think I did four hours work before ( Read more... )

Sunny today. Our high was 86F.

Yesterday and today I received my comp copies of the new Drugstore Indian Press UK editions of three more of my short-story collections, bringing the total they've reprinted as very affordable trade paperbacks to seven. In fact, for only £40.00 you can get all three, Dear Sweet Filthy World, The Dinosaur Tourist, and ( Read more... )

The rains came today, and it seems they will stay a while. I was beginning to worry about wildfires. Today's high was only 82.9F, with a heat index of 89F. Hardly needed the AC, except to curb the humidity.

I spent the morning line-editing "Untitled 47," the put together Sirenia Digest 218, which will go out tomorrow morning. I also signed a ( Read more... )

The cold weather is back, briefly, so screw you, Jet Stream. We'll be warm again by week's end, but for now we have a freeze warning. Tonight low will be 29F. Today high was only 57F.

I kinda hate this part of spring.

I actually managed to quite a lot today. I finished editing the introduction for Bright Dead Star, unless Kathryn finds more ( Read more... )

Sunny all day. Cold. Our high was 68F. That dosn't sound cold, but the low last night was 37F, and the day felt cold.

This new way that I am working. Last night, I sort of dozed on and off until about 2 a.m., and then I got up and wrote another 1,316 words on The Night Watchers. I laid down again about 3:45 a.m. and fell asleep, then got up at 7 a ( Read more... )

I think it might have rained a little last night. We needed it. Overcast all day. Gloom. Our high was 71F, much cooler than yesteday.

Selwyn is recovering at the vet. The surgery went well. They just want to keep him for observation one more night, given his age. Now we just have to pay for it. Fortunately, the GoFundMe seems to be going well, too ( Read more... )

Overcast most of the day, but I don't think there was any rain. We could really use some rain. It's been a long time, and I'm beginning to worry about forest fires, which tend to happen here in the spring and the autumn. Today's high was 77F ( Read more... )
