When it snows before you get a chance to take the Halloween decorations down 🎃 (to be clear, most of them stay up all year, but I wanted to bring this guy in out of the weather so his animatronics last longer) #Halloween #FirstSnow #Ohio

As the stars
grew near
they became
more and more
like the lights
of seven cities.
As we neared one
I saw that the lights
were all moving
like many tiny ants
carrying lanterns.
Then we entered the city
and I understood.
The lights were ghosts.
I could see them
even from far away, as lights.

After federal rules nixed their plans to offer food-insecure people a discount, I found three Oregon grocery stores that are using the honor system to help SNAP recipients. My story today: www.oregonlive.com/business/202...
Feds told Oregon grocers they couldn’t offer 10% off to SNAP recipients, so they got creative
The honor system is in place at three Oregon stores, now offering discounts to all who need it.

Vampire bats produce an anticoagulant called draculin that helps them feed on blood without it clotting.
Scientists are studying possible human uses for the blood thinner, so if you overhear a nurse ordering you a dose of draculin, don’t be (too) afraid.

The cloud ghost flew into
what I thought was the sky
and I soon discovered
to be down
into a vast cavity
in the dream version
of this world.
I followed them
deeper and deeper
into darkness
the stars all orange
or amber-colored
and seeming to flicker.
The stars ahead of us
slowly got brighter.

The cloud ghost flew down
and landed by me.
They were like a giant bird
but also like an insect.
Like the hill giants
they walked
on two long legs.
A big abdomen
behind them
resembled
a velociraptor's tail.
It counterbalanced the
head, thorax, arms, and
huge owlish wings.
They had a long beak.

The new book is both a departure and also not:
The topic is reincarnation, an old standby for me
But rather than a thick instruction manual on how to manage past life memories, it is an interactive journal that allows you to explore them at your own pace

The hill people

"They can't see you,"
the cloud ghost said.
"These people died last night
in a wildfire," I said.
One of them said to the cloud ghost,
"Who are you talking to?"
And the cloud ghost said,
"Follow me."

the ghost who spoke to me

perched on a rock.
"How can the present

"The dream is a memory,"
I said. "It takes place in the past."
"How do you know?"
