Listening to an audio doc: No Japanese Americans were found to be agents of Imperial Japan during WWII. But whole segments of the white population spread N*zi propaganda w/ impunity & were active fascists, including members of Congress. Guess who was sent to concentration canps.

Way Back Wednesday: I used this Kodak model Super-8 film camera to shoot stop motion animated films in the 1980s. Dad bought in Germany before deployment to Vietnam. The cartridge held enough film for 2 minutes and 40 seconds of footage. Ran on AA batteries. Hours and hours of fun.

Strange coincidence: Soul Coughing is playing in town Wednesday night, and it was one of their songs that inspired the title to my latest serialized story on Substack.

When researching for the novel MORE ARGONAUTS, I found it useful to sketch out certain items to help me visualize things like period-accurate clothing and vessels.

Scent is a big memory trigger. When I light this balsam fir candle, I'm immediately transported to Xmas 1980, and I miss the family we were on that day.

Saw an ad for a six-day Iceland tour package for seniors over 55. I got excited because I will qualify in less than three years.
I hope all those seniors don't mind having a young hip dude like me crashing their vacation.

There's that weird corridor when you and your doctor are the same age, and you address each other by first names. But then you age and he moves on and is replaced by a doctor much younger than you, who cruelly judges your life choices. My Doogie Howser literally had a snotty nose first time we met.

It's great that mainstream media sources are finally forced to deal with the faked assassination attempt and the fixed 2024 election. It only took 13 months. Too bad NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN lack any modicum of curiosity. Maybe in another year they'll finally cover his dementia and strokes.

I think it's one of the most amazing things that we choose to shed our divinity and drop into these vessels of flesh and ego for a brief moment. Why do we do that? All that horror, pain, struggle, heartache. The joy and bliss and love that splits us apart. What a dangerous game, this hide 'n' seek.

You awoke from a blackout chained in The Clink, a day lost and informed you've been banned from the skyport for life. You have no recall of the menace you made of yourself. You realize THAT'S why the apothecarist admonished against mixing her proprietary sedative with your dram of corn spirits!

A word picture: A flight of swans, flapping slowly and silently across a light gray hazy sky in a delicate snowfall, their necks like sinewaves, black beaks dots to connect, their exotic calls almost elk-like yet muffled, passing over the neighborhood dreamlike like an old memory. (Sorry, no pix.)

The sitting president is hands down the most successful televangelist in history. Oh, you have a church? He has a whole cult! They send you their SS checks? He just takes them b4 they're sent, along w/their Medicare! He campaigns from the pulpit & fills the spot in your ❤️ where Jesus used to be!

I have no stake in this nonsense, but it's impossible to escape this "controversy." Apparently this fanfic is based on the Baum children's book, NOT the classic MGM musical. Dorothy did not have ruby slippers in the book; silver shoes are source correct.
PS: Try the book. My kids loved it.

Has anyone written a story where Arthur rides into London during The Blitz?
