Stuff That Happened Yesterday®

Winter seems to have come to Providence last night. A low below freezing, frost warnings. I'm sure it'll warm up a little again, but...can't pretend it's "late summer" any longer. Cloudy and foul looking out there today

Dallas used to have a store just like that, in the Exposition Park area. I had the same sort of discussion, only on tektites (the store had a big one, about the size of an egg, long before Haitian tektites started flooding the rock shop market), and was asked to leave because I actually knew their origins instead of accepting that they were "Atlantean sacrifice stones".

I will be laughing about that all day; thank you.

Glad to be of service. As a chaser, I'd like to note that I received my copy of The Red Tree last Saturday. I haven't been able to read it, because the Czarina flipped through a couple of pages when my back was turned and refused to let it go. I try to take it back, and she snarls at me. I think I've created a new fan.

How wicked of you.

The sky, in your photographs, makes me think of wallpaper. I am now wondering what would be behind it if it was torn away.

Nice thought.

It was all about color and contrast and a peculiar flatness. It was a videogame sort of sky. Some trick of sunlight and clouds and high-altitude ice crystals, I suspect.

We had the same sky-it's the kind that always looks to me as though it's been painted. You can almost feel the diorama's walls curving down to the ground around you.

That is a very beautiful boat.

That's almost exactly what Spooky said.

I mostly only go in there because it seems to make the employees nervous, ever since I explained athames to them.

This delights me far more than I should probably let it.

Then txtriffidranch just about killed me with delight.

That makes this blog entry the best thing I've read since ...well, since I finished reading Low Red Moon earlier this week, honestly.

Nah. Any place that advertises itself as carrying "witchcraft supplies," then has no idea what an athame is has it coming.

Then I must be doing my job well.

And the photos just don't do it justice.
