13·17 days agoYeah! I’ve got several. Broadens the selection nicely. Also, my local library doesn’t have Hoopla, but the larger city in a nearby state does and was very cool about letting me get a card since I live in the boonies.
9·28 days agoKurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle might not explain it, but could add valuable context.
1·1 month agoNo. That is Gordon Froman, Sausage king of Chicago.
Monty Python has led me to expect Spam.
“Baked beans are off.” “Could I have Spam instead…”

He is NOT getting better on the drums.
8·3 months agoI feel like this might be an homage to the old online comic Minus.

3·3 months agoI can’t quite see the skin. Maybe it’s a carefully scooped out avo half? I’m just wishfully speculating here.
Believe if it was only now that the revelation that cigarettes cause cancer was in progress, there would be a large, confident contingent of folks swearing they’re actually great for you led by the likes of RFK Jr.
Thank you! Appreciate the article!
Thank you!
I was impressed and surprised to find such a resource this close to home. Some talented writers in the Huntington, WV area are really doing a service to their community.
Hope your session was fruitful!
Thank you! There are upsides to living in the Appalachian boonies for sure, but everything is pretty far away.
This is an interesting premise. Hope they give it the treatment it deserves. That one’s microbiome could influence behavior.
Goals:
There’s a writing conference in the big town down the road that represents civilization in these rural parts at the end of this month. Sadly, I have responsibilities that conflict and I won’t be in attendance. But the draw of this conference is that it lets local writers pitch to lots of publishers. This makes me want for a more coherent collection of publishable materials and “elevator” summations of the same. So I should prioritize getting my ducks lined up -for the next opportunity. Also, I’ve just got out of the habit of writing on the regular. Some more consistency would be great.
About me: I’ve been a broadcaster, journalist and lots of other stuff. I’ve spent some time penning some non-fiction on health and culture -none of it published, but I hope to update and edit and even self-publish if necessary. More recently I’ve worked on some speculative fiction regarding technological unemployment and knock-on effects and some Kilgore Trout sort of prompts. I write inconsistently around some absurd life -as I suspect lots of us do.
Always loved Bradbury. Understand he’s got a birth anniversary this week. Also think of The Long Rain when we’ve had unending rain and storms.
How does one become part of this group? I write in fits and starts and could use some accountability.
Lugosi? Fleck? Bartok? Enquiring minds want to know…
This may be an unpopular method, but we like it. We’ll just get a turkey breast or rarely a whole bird and cook it in a bag with a little broth, spices -usually garlic, pepper and lots of paprika. Punch a couple holes in the top of the bag and cook at 325-350F. Nice to have meat we can stretch into many meals over a couple weeks.
