Cold Coats
As one would expect after retiring from Alaska, I have a number of warm coats; coats that are especially designed for real wet cold, the kind of cold that kills. It is a point of frustration; when we are moving, we have more than 10 boxes of coats. So when the weather here turned cold,…

Prequel Part 5: the origin story
To catch everyone up, I decided to include a brief synopsis of what we know so far. Humans on earth have poisoned the air. Radiation is an issue, water is expensive and given a chance to leave the planet and start over, volunteers were lining up all over the planet. EarthCorp has a bad reputation…
Plans Change
A whole mess of snow fell on us over night and into this morning. Yesterday I got caught up in writing and our plans for dinner got sidetracked between ice and time. Did I mention that the sky snotted on us and it froze? You should have seen the truck all glazed and dripping with…
Rolled Roast
The current plan if the weather makes it possible to drive, is to take a rolled pork roast to my folks for dinner. Does anyone else ever do this? Get a boneless roast or as we do, a bone in on sale and cut off the bone to use for soup and use the roast.…
