I’m not sure if you understand how much effort my dog put into eating my books…

So, here they are, the very first copies of my novels that I sent for from the company that does my self-publishing. The first version I can hold in my hands. I order one copy to do a final edit … Continue reading

Random cell phone photos; (or): My second double rainbow in two weeks, a tumbleweed on a beach, my dog ate my f*&%$#g books, a really cold car, a cool bird, and an upside down cat…

Hey tRump, if you want a wall so badly, why don’t you build it yourself…

Another of those things I see in the world around me that nobody else seems to notice…

I was at work one day, not too long ago, and I looked down at the flagstones, and spotted this Aztec chief in a big, gold, jewel-encrusted crown… or war helmet… or whatever. He is right there, in plain sight. … Continue reading
