A photo of #LakeMichigan 's "beach", just North of #SouthHaven, MI.
In the summer, the shore would be about halfway between where I'm standing and the snow piles.
Proof that walking the dogs on the Lake Michigan's beach is nice year round.

Just started reading Future Shock, the book on every suburban shelf in the early 1970s.
Anyone else out there read this recently?
I read a few snippets with my wife and found myself using @michaelhobbes.bsky.social 's cadence. Don't think @ifbookspod.bsky.social covered this one, yet.

Decided to watch #movies that got bad reviews but might actually be good.
First two:
• King of Comedy (rewatch it turned out … still not a fan)
• Heaven's Gate (it was not great … but not a fiasco)
Next up:
• Videodrome
Any suggestions?

Writing update: Working on the outline for novel #2 in the new series. It'll be some story advancement and some backstory.
Issue is… I need an interlocking theme.

Just reached out to an editor for my novel. She’s deciding if it’s a fit for her.
We both like this genre but disagree 100% on what’s a good novel in this genre. So… might not work for her.
Also, starting on novel #2 in the same world.

They told us that we didn't understand how #tarrifs work.
That the foreign countries pay for them and not US consumers.
That we were stupid or being misled to believe otherwise. And
that they understand finances better than any other admin.

Two new fables (very short stories). One hopeful, one not so much. Free to read. Please let me know any thoughts.
Seven Snaps - world building

Any Corner Coffee Shop - classic 'greed' dilemma (inspired my Musk and DOGE)

We travel between Eastern and Central time zones so often that I don't set my clock forward or back.
I just tell my Jeep, "You're on Chicago time for the next six months."

So… I decided to just start writing "something" and after a handful of useless paragraphs about nothing, I hit upon an idea for a short story that might just have some legs.
We shall see.
In short: Fingers to keyboards writers!

January 1st of another year, and I, again, register my frustration of a broken promise:
We don't yet have a moon base.
We've been promised this since I was a kid & I never thought we'd get to 2000, let alone 2025 without one.
