Sunny and warmish today. An autumnal wide carnivorous sky held at bay by the twin bulwarks of Red and Shades mountains. Our high was 71˚F ( Read more... )

Some days defy description. They're simply baffling ( Read more... )

It was sunny and warmer today. We made it to 72˚F, and it's still 55˚F.

And...I'm gonna say that talking to Bill Schafer at Subterranean Press today, planning an upcoming book (TBA) counts as work, and we'll just leave it at that. And I read Angela Carter's "Puss-in-Boots," which is not one of my favorite Angela Carter stories, in part because I ( Read more... )

It's a painfully clear sky hanging over us today, not even to whisper of a cloud. Currently, it's 90˚F, with the heat index at 92˚F.

Please have a look at the current eBay auctions - especially that copy of The Five of Cups (2003) - and Spooky's ( Read more... )

The NWS says we'll hit 101˚F today, but currently it's only 96˚F, with the heat index at 95˚F. We are fortunate that today the humidity is very, very low, currently a mere 29%.
