...they keep trying. The bots keep trying. I'm assuming they're bots, since once they do get on, they don't seem to do anything but sit there. I'm getting pretty good at certain phonemic sets that don't even try to vary, and if I have let one through, because I search...

We have two kittehs who are regular visitors, and I don't know, but they're suspect right along with the raccoons. You can't blame them. There's no way for them to tell they're not 'free food.' But we have to do something. So...bird netting over our eagle-discouraging...

......I could also, just in that one descriptive sentence in Deliverer---convert Irene to Bjorn, and make Bjorn wear that description. When years intervene between books, alas, the brain goes to mush. Can someone e-mail me the ENTIRE passage where that description...

Absolute deluge. Sideways! Very unusual for Spokane. And something blew in---I got something stuck in my eye, and had to shower and scrub to get it out. Jane's been complaining of eye pain. Can't figure. But it's a relief to have that gone. Cold out there, too,...

One last notice before I declare it over on FB...if you want them, you have first dibs. Meanwhile, spring is springing here, at last: the tree peonies are just about to spread their leaves, the apple tree has sprigs, buds on the cherry trees are about to go, and I...

I have 14 copies of Protector, and 25 of Intruder. I am not telling the world yet, except that part of it that routinely visits Closed Circle. You are the ones that get the announcement first, and I will not tell others for a few days---but there are more than 14 of...

Fascinating series. There's a period of American history that in my own era was taught pretty much on the level of Washington and the cherry tree, ie, a lot of legend, no substance. This is the rise of the American Aristocracy, so to speak, the building of the...

Meanwhile I’m still working on the guitar revival. I’ve still not rediscovered the more exotic chords, and a good D minor still eludes me, but C is getting there. There’s the beginning of callus on my fingers now, and there never has been pain: I play about 3-4 songs...

...is their fondness for onions. When you get beyond the pre-prepared foods, you have to cook your own, and most recipes contain things like onions (no-go in this house), lamb (we don't eat sheep or goats), fish---ok, if it's salmon. And you have to improvise. Main...
