Cats when I’m procrastinating- Gone. Vanished. Stalking the spaces between the worlds. Cats when I’m trying to write- Hello! Time now to flop across your hands! Or face! Oh, who are we kidding, both!

There was a wasp nest in the bathroom vent and they were getting in. So I got to have an adventure on the roof with a shop-vac and a spray bottle of soapy water. Nest gone, no stings, I need a sit and a brownie

I had this in my most recently published SF story, which was set in an abandoned Nebraska town used as a museum surrounded by restored prairie. Part of the idea was the population shift to urban centers and a move to try to restore the environment. Part was this, that there would be less people.

I think there is a certain percentage of people who believe that good things can only be had if they are taken from someone else. That mutually beneficial arrangements are impossible, a lie. He is certainly one of them, and thats why some people support him, because they believe it too
