There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury

The voice-clock sang, breakfast was ejected, but no doors slammed. The garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. The house sat alone in a city of rubble and…

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

In The Chair waiting for my latest infusion. The woman in the next cubbie was talking very loudly in French to someone who was also very loud, on speaker, of course. I understood just enough to feel like an eavesdropper... guess all those years of French stayed with me. 😄

Blue Ash, Ohio 8/2 “I came to bear witness to the great wrong that's being done to people who came here for a better life and had the rug pulled out from under them... It doesn't make humanitarian sense. It doesn't make economic sense. It's purely for ideology.” www.wvxu.org/local-news/2...

Atlanta area folks: our fave indie #TallTales Books is kicking off a month long celebration of their 47th anniversary with a flute concert at the shop at Toco Hills. We'll be there! Bookstore kitty Kit Marlowe will perhaps not be in attendance, but he's ready to party nonetheless. (Photo from IG) 📚🎉

I have thoughts on The Odyssey, but I won't inflict them on anyone except to say that we enjoyed it and it was beautiful to look at, if painfully loud at times. 70 mm was fine; I could never have survived it in IMAX. Samantha Morton as Circe was terrific!

At the Tara theater in Atlanta way early for the 10:30am showing of The Odyssey, thinking it might be crowded with other folks who put it off. So far we are the only ones other than employees in the parking lot. It's going to be hella loud in there... 🙃

Reluctantly headed back to ATL after a lovely couple of days on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, in spite of a close encounter with TS Bertha on Wednesday. Got some beach time in and ate some good seafood, although the brand new hotel had a few opening week hiccups. 🙄 ##RoadTrip

View of a thunderstorm off the coast from a sunny evening beachfront restaurant deck. A line of tables each with a different primary color closed umbrella along the rail. Line of very dark storm clouds from TS Bertha behind a lone wind-whipped palm tree on a lonely stretch of beach. Choppy surf and a sky of mixed sun and leftover dark clouds the day after the storm passed. Waffle House coffee mug - breakfast with the lovely Lisa and her coworkers before heading back north.

Lafayette, we are here! Stopped for a walkie and coffee at Coffee B4 Everything in LaGrange, Ga. Haven't been through here since summer of 2022, right before all my medical stuff started. It's really good to be back. ☕️🥰 #RoadTrip

It's the mister's (gulp) 75th birthday, and in our infinite wisdom, we are threading our way south on I-85 through Atlanta, with 50,000 of our closest friends, on our way to the Gulf Coast, just in time to meet up with TS Bertha. Don't tell me we don't know how to have a good time. 😏 #RoadTrip
