had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.
Watt's Gnus (18+) On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason. #1439092 by Kåre เลียม Enga
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
Blogville (XGC) Where bloggers meet and greet to read and share. No required prompt. Alias: blogville. #2253938 by Kåre เลียม Enga
is for posting personal blog entries in hope that folks will comment and post their blog entries there as well. I will be commenting on all blog entries posted. It's my effort to rebuild a blogging community.
Lots of things checked . That's good, right? Or did you just list those checked? Doesn't matter. Sounds like reasonably good trip. Relax now and recover.
At least the Lions made it forward. The first time since 1991.
It was a winter 80 here with cool shadows. Started with rain by the shore that washed out to sea. The sun tried to dodge the clouds all day, but it was a losing battle. Did flash green as it ducked goodbye heading your way.
Maid of the Mist Most Macabre You capture the purpose of this blog. Balance is elusive for me. If I'm depressed I can see my accomplishments. If I'm smug I can see the pain. If I think I haven't lived... I must admit that I once was alive.
Ah, this is life, the mundane mixed with moments of wonder. We need to eat so ,we think about it, prepare for it, do it. We need to socialize so, we seek it out wherever we can find it. Sometimes, we need to wander without any goals or purpose. We observe. We marvel. We breathe. Not everything requires scheduling.
1. I will not reach my NaNo goal of 30k by tomorrow. I don't care. If I just write 500 words daily in December I'll go over. Officially I'm at 20k but I haven't included a couple recent pieces yet.
2. I want to travel. If I can get the vaccine? I'll be eligible but not before January or even later. Until then I could go to Costa Rica. But I'd need insurance and insurance is expensive and doesn't reduce my risk. Their infection rates are high but not as high as here. Montana ranks #7 in the US with 5.3% infected. North Dakota continues to led at 10.3%.
3. Are all White Dakotans covidiots? Well... obviously not. Are Trumpsters all anti-maskers? No... but... of the top 10 states in percentage of positive-cases/population 8 of them voted for him (the exceptions are Wisconsin and Illinois). Conspiracy that! The truth? This wave is hitting rural areas hard but yes, anti-maskers and freedom-to-die advocates lead the way. Gov. Noem of #2 South Dakota is a prime example (Sturgis on a bun with a side of snot, anyone?). On the other-hand, Vermont... which is quite rural too is #51 at 0.66%. The lowest 'red' state #45 is West Virginia at 2.6%. Isolation? Fewer deniers? Perhaps. Regardless, don't get sick in the Dakotas. They may not have a bed for you.
4. Reviews. I've posted 17 recent ones. Some I submitted as private and others I forgot to link to Space Blog group. My bad. I was more careful once I realized my mistakes (there's no way to correct that). I really don't like reviewing. I do mini-reviews in my blog. Few get the word that way. But my email sure lit up when I submitted my opinions (because that's what they are) to the review page.
5. I rated from 2.5 to 4.7 basically. I understand that everyone wants to get a 4.0 and a bunch of 5s feels even better; but, if I were a professor I would not have accepted many without a rewrite. I don't like flunking people, especially since most have sincerely tried... and failed. Which reminds me of Spanish in high school. Straight As. In college, straight Cs. In Costa Rica? I went mute. But now... I think in Castellano and at times prefer speaking it to English. Pues... depende...
Best of November's reviewed items is a gem that reminded me of Shel Siverstein:
According to the Rule of 5 I've reached my limit for today. I have lots of writing to do while I sit by the window with the sun on my bare back. I've had my cups of coffee (one is never enough) and eaten a cheeseburger with lettuce (I never buy lettuce!) and if I work diligently I may take a walk. Took one yesterday. Felt good to be out.
