I heard the final tally was 70,000 people marching today in the No Kings protest in Seattle. Amazing display of DEMOCRACY!

Today apparently is the 7-year anniversary of my first book being released! It's still out there kicking around and, even though there's things I'd want to tweak today, I'm still proud of it!

This is satire, right?

FINAL DAY of our paranormal road trip ended with a little science at the Very Large Array (a bucket list item checked off!). We started the day in Capitan, NM (where the real life Smokey Bear was found!) and headed towards Albuquerque for our flight home tomorrow!

Day 6 of the paranormal road trip: ROSWELL! Kitsch, kitsch, glorious alien kitsch everywhere! Even the McDonalds is shaped like a UFO.

Day 5 of the paranormal road trip - heading to Roswell by way of Carlsbad Caverns. The alien kitsch started pretty much the moment we got to New Mexico and never lets up!

This week on the podcast, we have Deb Googe from My Bloody Valentine! She shares a GREAT story about how tiny things sometimes change the direction of your life. This one, like all of my episodes, are good listens even if you’re not a fan of the band! Link in comments.

But of course I’m going to stop at the world’s largest chile pepper!

Day 4 of our paranormal road trip! A driving day to New Mexico and transitioning from ghosts to aliens! 👽 Our morning was spent just outside Bisbee in this time warp area called Lowell. It felt like we were time traveling!

Day 3 of the paranormal toad trip! Hotel La More in Bisbee really goes for it! Pit stop along the way in Tombstone. Also, images from The Copper Queen Hotel, The Shady Dell/Dot’s Diner, and the Oliver House, known as the “Murder House.”

Day 2 of the paranormal road trip. A visit to the El Tiradito Wishing Shrine (look up the story about it - it’s a pretty crazy story!), the Desert Museum, and cap it off with a 4-hour event at Kitt Peak. We asked if he ever saw anything weird in the sky and I got the vibe he doesn’t believe in UFOs
