Rain yesterday, and very heavy winds and cold today ( Read more... )

Halloween has come and gone.  With the closing of the tradational place we got pumpkins at (Lombardi Ranch) I ended up just getting one at the grocery store.  We had a fair number of kids, although some of them did not look like they were from the neighborhood.  I puzzled over that until I read somewhere about parents from 'bad' neighborhoods ( Read more... )

(x-posted from Facebook) My gross-out for the day. I have a high-pressure attachment for the hose Isometimes use to clear grass and leaves off the sidewalk and driveway. I haven't used it in a while, but I had to clear off the pavement because we just mowed. Turned on the hose. Nothing. I turn it off and on. Nothing. Unscrew it from the hose, shake ( Read more... )

Very heavy Santa Ana winds today.  They've managed to kick up something that I'm violently allergic to.  My nose has been running like a facet all afternoon.  That's really unusual, because normally when the winds come I don't have any reaction at all ( Read more... )

For those not on FA-- I recently came into a very large collection of vintage (late 80's, early 90's) furry 'zines.  I have a portion of them up for auction now, on FurBuy and EBay.  The rest will probably go up late this week or early next week.  FYI-- the EBay auctions have several hidden Adults Only items-- those are non-furry magazines and ( Read more... )

At 5 AM Gandalf brought in a very alive rat, which he chased around my office before it escaped behind the immovable entertainment center.  I don't know where it is now.  I really hope Gandalf or one of the other cats manages to catch it again ( Read more... )

Part of a book blurb:

Looking for a few first readers for a short story I've done (9K words) for one of Fred Patten's anthologies.  Nothing fancy needed, just a quick read to see if everything is clear, if I need to add or take out stuff, the usual.  Comment or drop me an email if you're interested.

(FYI-- this is not related to any of my previous stories, and is stand
