Today in Fictional History The penultimate story of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles (1950), "There Will Come Soft Rains" occurs on this date. Later editions retconned the year.
Looking like I'll get some writing done on Candlewort this weekend. Seems my process doesn't like me going back to outline what I've been writing by the seat of my pants.
Some days, it seems like you can't drink enough liquids to stay hydrated.
If you define yourself by what you hate, all they will remember is that you hate.
I sneezed this evening and my cat looked at me as if I'd insulted three generations of her family.
The rains have come to Phoenix. The dragon has retreated to its cave. Winter will soon descend upon us.
I started this morning by winning a game. But not The Game. And now, I'm 1-1.
Started today by rescuing a savanna sparrow that somehow got into my daughter's bedroom. Still can't figure out how it got into the house. Her room is the furthest point from any of the doors.

A few years ago, my daughter found this beret at our local Goodwill. The look on her face is because I commented, "Prince was right."
Daughter: Why are there googly eyes on the cat? Me: 'cause I'm a horrible person (The cat shook them off a moment later. )
I did a quick read through of a short story before sending it to a beta reader . . . And here we are, one full editing pass later.
Hydrate, people. In this heat, if you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated. Get someplace cool: your local library, an indoor mall, anywhere you can exist out of the blazing sun for several hours.
CCR, no, I've never seen Lorraine, and I don't know who's going to stop her either. Please, stop asking me.

Will GMC be providing kits for Denali owners to change their trucks to McKinleys, I wonder?
Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.
