It’s already been a strange day. Nothing bad, mind you, just…. weird. And it’s afternoon, and I have a gazillion things to do including re-typeset Witchfinder, finish a novella and– maybe a couple of songs.
I’m still cleaning up from big dinner yesterday. (The dishes. No, really. I use all the dishes, you know?)
So I’m not going to post now. I’m going to do the beginning of the world’s most epic promo post tonight, with writers who volunteered for this (If you want to volunteer, post either in comments or in Twitter) and Holly will collect you into a list. You don’t even have to be indie, the only requirement is that you not be afraid to associate with this blog.
For now, to mollify you, I’m posting mildly salacious pictures. See the boobies above.
There’s also:
And:
On the serious side, consider this an open thread to discuss the rescue of our airman or other amazing good news.
I’m going to go do work, and will be back this evening.
Love you all.

I also like the “Liquid Cats” video immediately after the Baby Beaver video. But WPDE won’t let me post. Well it does, just it goes into terminal circle wait mode.
Another good reel joke is the job site HOA video. Where the site operator is promoting Mosquito Zapper attractant. “Put all 30 along the road fence line”, where the HOA busybodies are videoing (totally a word) from, “without the bug zapper” …
Baby beaver video. I now follow the rescue on FB reels.

Wait, I think I’ve seen that guy. The one who does about three characters in his (blacksmith?) shop. I’m so face-blind (and the voices are so different) that it wasn’t til the third character was added that I picked up it was him for all three (boss, helper, local preacher).

Sarah showing off not only ass but beaver? This blog is getting awfully racy!

Our son told my beloved he had good news and bad news.
Good news: all the Rodent Control Officer’s kittens have been claimed. (Sigh).
Bad news: the “little Jezebel,” is already pregnant again.
I know he planned to have her spayed, but suspect he’s not ready to have the vet perform kitty abortions to do it. But wow, does the little minx work fast.

LOL. He probably took the kittens a little too early. Cats interpret that as the litter dying and go into heat immediately.

Okay. that’s seriously weird. Is it possible she has a health issue instead? Because when they become pregnant they chase the previous litter off.

Most vets won’t do it, anyways.

Hearsay is that animals sometimes sense and are disquieted by the preludes to a storm or earthquake, or whatever.
(I wonder a bit about the sources and methods of these claims, but I basically spend all my time inside and avoid animals. I basically don’t know anything from direct observation, and my grasp of what I have read could have major problems.)
This can sometimes be used as a metaphor for complicated human behavior things.
I don’t particularly weight my own impressions now very highly, I am undermedicated for allergies.
I would tend to find this year a little overwhelming to follow, and flip flop between jaded and enthused, almost no matter what was going on with the little picture details.

I admit, I would feel a bit better if NASA hadn’t said, “See you on the other side,” and gotten the same words in reply. I can’t help but hear that in Bill Murray’s voice.
NASA spokeswoman just said, “How great Thou art,” almost absently. My, what a change.

Sarah, if you’re around…. I’ve formatted the novel, but I’m not sure whether to use 11pt or 12pt EB Garamond for the body text. I get fifty more pages at 12, but lose 66 cents per sale. Should I go for the cost savings, or make it longer to seem like a better buy?
BTW, MP4 posted about an Indie book contest at Writer’s Digest earlier at Ace’s on the tech thread (comment 78), but I’m sure there’s no way I’d be ready to submit. Anyone else here might.
