Road Trip
We always see the most amazing things as we drive across the country. Today aside from a car 🚘 on Fire 🔥 on the side of the road with rescue workers fighting back the blaze, we saw a helicopter swooping over fields of corn 🌽 obviously checking on things. We had wonderful weather, many courteous…
Read MoreAnniversary
Today is my parents wedding anniversary. They were lucky enough to find one another in their early twenties, during their undergraduate years and somehow managed to fight together through the storms of life. Obviously I am very glad they managed,but I am also grateful for the the example of commitment, devotion, and compromise. Congratulations to…
Read MorePets
If the territory dragons of all the territories Grabon visited as a youth believed Heron to be a pet, and that protected him, what are the rules governing pets? So far we have not seen any pets among the dragons. Obviously it is an established idea, keeping some beasts as pets. Watch for this idea…
Read MoreReluctant
Can you imagine the stress of trying to find a clan where you belong? Awandering must be like an endless house hunting trip, only not only are you choosing the house, neighborhood, school and atmosphere, but neighbors as well. Like most people I have moved around, had many houses, experienced many neighbors and found many…
Read MoreHumans are People
By the time you are done reading Gordon’s Pride, you understand that the dragons view the humans as beasts and have a certain curiosity about Heron, who they consider to be Grabon’s pet. By the end of book 2 or Heron’s Bonds you know that Grabon and Heron are attempting to educate dragons that humans…
Read MoreMosquitoes
If mosquitoes sucked fat instead of blood, how many of us would lie down and let them take all they wanted? On the other hand, there are people who do not have any body fat to spare… they would be victims of these fat sucking monsters.
Read MorePoisoning the Skeeters
I did not include those small bloodsuckers in my NewEarth world because I do not think they deserve the attention. What a pest they are, even discounting the diseases and health risks, just based on pure annoyance, they are a menace. It is not going to hurt my feelings to poison them and wipe them…
Read MoreTravel Day
During our travel yesterday we came to a traffic clog, with warning messages about an accident. Everyone moved over, lots of backup for what seemed like miles of road. I was sincerely hoping they would have the blood cleaned up before we passed. When we were finally able to see something it was a plane…
Read MoreWeight Limits
I am a big person, come from big people, and we have very little guilt about it, unlike some other big people who spend their lives apologizing and starving themselves to fit in someone else’s idea of size, but I digress. This rant is about weight limits. Why would they have a 200 lb weight…
Read MoreFolding houses
I am showing my age, but do you remember the Jetson’s with their compact cars etc? We were talking about those cool engineered houses where you basically park and hit the button, run like hell to get out of the way, and the house forms; walls, roof, steps, porch, and everything. They are amazing, but…
Read MoreSelf-cleaning Fridge
The fridge needs to be cleaned out… one of my least favorite chores, but putting that off won’t make it more pleasant, that’s for sure. Did you ever wonder why we don’t have self-cleaning fridges? I need one with a fridge frog, able to consume unwanted foods, liquids and spit out containers ready to be…
Read MorePacking and Planning
Yesterday, I joyfully released the 5th book of the NewEarth Series to walk alone in the world. Last night, Shawn and I celebrated and went out for a wonderful dinner. Today we shopped and got things ready for our trip. We leave on Wednesday. First to see my parents, drop off Jethro and mosey on…
