Urban Art
Denver is a very cool city to visit. There is a thriving artist community and lots of art everywhere. In addition to the statuary and wall paintings on the side of blank buildings, there is also some cool urban art. I wish I had snapped some pics, but I didn’t have a camera or my…

What a difference a hotel can make. When we were planning the trip I thought being downtown, close to the convention center would he helpful, no crazy morning rush hour, a chance to see the hustle and bustle of Denver. One night and we found a quiet rural/ suburban setting. A bit of a drive,…

Dragons And Humans
Are the humans educated in NewEarth? Are the dragons? Is knowledge revered or scorned? In human history, informtion and knowing more facts or a different application does not always go well for the individual. Even today, people decide they like common knowledge of medicine (folk medicine or alternative medicine) rather than modern medicine because they…
Read MoreGarmen Alert
We May be the only ones, but we get amused sending the Garmen directional program into fits of spasms, getting her lost on country roads and letting her plot her way out. Only yesterday it happened entirely by accident. We werehighway driving through a construction zone detour and she is jabbering about staying on the…

Hope
All through my stories of NewEarth, there is a hopeful and positive push for things to be better. Mistakes can be corrected, bad people can be eliminated even if it means losing patience and blasting them with enough energy to set them aflame and turning their miserable carcasses to ash. Once that gruesome chore is…

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…

Reluctant
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…

Humans 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…
