Wow.  What happened to that week? Well, there was a wedding, and the tractor broke, and a birthday party, and game night, and karate class . . . so it was a busy week, in truth. But what mostly happened was The Rift. Yes, I’m finally getting my longest novel ready for e-publication.  It’s something like […]

Special Shapes

October 10, 2013

More photos from the Balloon Fiesta.  The bees, which are very popular, are velcro’d together so that they fly holding hands, sometimes with a third Baby Bee between them.  This time Baby got off the ground on his own, but the others skimmed the ground for a bit, then came to rest, un-velcro’d, and then […]

555 Luftballons

October 9, 2013

Morgan Stanley was apparently sufficiently impressed by my anti-Wall Street tirades in this forum that I was invited to their Corporate Tent this morning for Albuquerque’s annual Balloon Fiesta. (Thank you, Morgan Stanley!  Our motto: “Hardly ever indicted!”) This involved getting up at 5am, a time at which I am rarely comfortable, and driving through […]

After all, I was possibly the only person on the planet who liked […]

Lake Mummies

October 3, 2013

Check out these amazing photos of birds literally turned to stone by the natron-ized waters of, well, Lake Natron in East Africa. “Natron” is the name used to describe the various salts used by the Egyptians to mummify their ancestors.  Looks like the lake waters did at least as good a job.

Rehabilitating Walter

October 1, 2013

I don’t have much to say about the final episode of Breaking Bad, not least because I haven’t seen it yet, but I have one thing to be grateful for, which is that the series has completely rehabilitated the name of Walter. Walter is a Germanic name meaning “wielder of the armies,” which I have to […]
