You're making this really tempting. I've been staying away from Hamilton's novels after giving up on the Reality Dysfunction.

Rural electrification and washer and dryer. My granny loved FDR for that alone. She'd tell us about washing clothes on a laundry board, or using the washing machine hooked up to the tractor.

Ah, memories. Finding one of my pair absolutely covered in blood. I mean all his white was red. So, before attempting first aid at 3:00 AM I hosed him off. Only three small scratches on his muzzle. So, use the flashlight to check the rest of the yard and discovered two halves of a possum. Yeah.

Yeah. Reading @courtneymilan.com and others threads about publishers claiming reverted works, or not registering the works for copyright. Are all they doing is getting an ISBN and a slot at a book printer?

I guess that's why I like playing with clubs, maces, sandbags and medicine balls. You have to have through a range of motion and do different things.

Someone posted this to Reddit and 👀👀
Snow White is Game of Thrones, not a beauty contest

Absent king. Stepmother runs the kingdom. The dead wife's daughter is the only legitimate heir, and her claim gets stronger every year she survives. So the stepmother sends an armed man to kill her and tried to poison her. 

Swap the genders and nobody would say "he was jealous of the boy's looks." We'd call it a succession crisis and a child murder.

But put two women in the same plot and the entire motive collapses into "she was prettier." Even the mirror never says *you're ugly*, it says *someone else is fairest now*, which maybe a report on who the court favors, not a beauty contest.

Why do we automatically read a woman getting rid of a rival for the throne as a fight over looks?

Followed, reskeeted and favorite monsters. The giants - cyclopes (particularly in their role as smiths of the gods), Argos, Hecatonchires.

Favorite monster? Tough call. Giants. Cyclopes - in their role as smiths of the gods. Argos Hecatonchires - the hundred handed ones.
