Mosty overcast today. Some sun. Our high was 81F.

Another mostly sleepless night, Four hours, I think. This is one of those insomnia attacks. I tell myself it's only my inability to stop mulling over our civilization's impending doom, caught as it is between a rock and a hard place, both intent of demolishing liberty and reason. I tell myself that ( Read more... )

A dreary day. Overcast. The valley filled with fog almost all day, but the sun has just come out. Our high was 52F.

I hardly slept last night. I think the dread nap was the trigger for a bad night. But the sleepless night lead to a crappy day. Still, I finished Graham Farmelo's Churchill's Bomb: How the United States Overtook Britain in the First ( Read more... )

I did not get Sirenia Digest 173 (May 2020) out today, with the new story "Untitled 46," because I got caught up in other stuff, and I was on the phone for an hour and a half with Mike Polcyn at SMSU in Dallas, talking ( Read more... )
