Read MoreRenewable Energy
A reader asked why I didn’t give the settlers a renewable source of energy and the technology to harvest it and put it to use. This is a great question. The planet gives everyone the energy they need, but this reader was talking about technology as we know it. I considered that leaving earth, even…
Read MoreDeception
Deception is a funny thing. As humans we talk about deception as if it were immoral, yet actors are deceptive. We admire actors. A police officer without deceptive skills would end up dead, or put behind a desk. Cops are the good guys. A doctor who showed all his feelings and was not deceptive would…
Read MorePioneers
Did I deliberately set out to write my own version of pioneers and aliens? No, not exactly, although I can tell you I have read and reread every Louis L’Amour I ever had my hands on and many other westerns besides. I grew up tent camping, roughing it, and finding it fun to leave behind…
Read MoreThe Hat
It is all about the hat, today. We decided to take poor Jethro on a picnic. All his doggy life he has loved going out and picnicking whether we made a fire or not, but with his skin bursting open, half his hair falling out, fighting infection and generally being uncomfortable, he has not had…
Read MoreTime
Have you noticed how slowly time moves while you are sitting at a red light, waiting for the microwave, or staring blankly at the coffee pot waiting for that first cup that starts your brain in the morning? Time moves at a crawl while waiting for good news or bad from the doctor, while hoping…
Read MoreDragons
I was in a discussion recently about what animal behavior prompted the development of Anne McCaffrey’s dragons. Was it cats? Horses? It was a discussion that was fun and entertaining, but it made me realize that my dragons are modeled after humans, but not entirely. I used some sealion and whale behaviors, some predatory 🦅,…
Read MoreHorses Running Wild.
Nothing is quite like watching the horses celebrating, being free to run, to jump and enjoy the cool evening breeze and embrace joy. Tonight our young farmer was feeding them and before he knew it they had staged a field break and took off for an unscheduled run around my house, helping themselves to bird…
Read MoreFeeding Horses
Boy am I glad the horses on this farm are not the size of NewEarth Cattle. Currently we have three equine inhabitants on the farm, and Rolex, the donkey. I bring them out carrots, dried corn, birdseed, and apples. They like it. They like it enough to play pushy shovee games, kick out at one another…
Read MoreThe Day Escaped!
I had a plan for the day… really I did, but somehow the entire day was derailed. Not by one specific thing, but a thousand bitty things that were unrelated. So here I am blogging in the afternoon, for the first time today. My head feels like it is spinning around, but I checked, it…
Read MoreGovernments
As we get into Acceptance, book6, there is more about the governments among the dragons, as well as the governments among the humans. The system the dragons use is complex, developed and long standing. The humans is far more fluid and inclined to shifts and changes. They are systems of government we understand. The dragons…
