Down in the basement

When people say they use AI to write, I have to wonder what they keep in their basement for inspiration because they need more bins like mine.

Albany

Five years ago, just staring at the Egg on Empire Plaza. A spaceship? Nope, a theater.

I want this article pinned at the top of network news sites so people can refer back to it whenever the rest of the news is too much.

Rainy days and baby birds

Little buddy and I waited out the rain yesterday. He was too wet too take off so he rested on the porch while the two of us kept an eye out for predators.

Neighbors

A reminder for anyone going to Stokercon next year… you can have your photo taken with a giant Mr. Rogers. This one was taken ten years ago, but Fred Rogers still waits by the river.

More of the reads current

Current reads from Grady Hendrix, Cixin Liu, Oscar Zarate & Richard Appignanesi, and Christopher McGlothlin. Perhaps not current releases but the TBR pile is all about playing catch-up and increasing my anxiety. Believe me, contemplating existentialism for a while, you can face all the other horrors.
