Dolly may be gone, but she showed us all how to shine our brightest. It's our turn to light the world.

Today in Fictional History The penultimate story of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles (1950), "There Will Come Soft Rains" occurs on this date. Later editions retconned the year.

Looking like I'll get some writing done on Candlewort this weekend. Seems my process doesn't like me going back to outline what I've been writing by the seat of my pants.

Some days, it seems like you can't drink enough liquids to stay hydrated.

If you define yourself by what you hate, all they will remember is that you hate.

I sneezed this evening and my cat looked at me as if I'd insulted three generations of her family.

I started this morning by winning a game. But not The Game. And now, I'm 1-1.

Started today by rescuing a savanna sparrow that somehow got into my daughter's bedroom. Still can't figure out how it got into the house. Her room is the furthest point from any of the doors.

A few years ago, my daughter found this beret at our local Goodwill. The look on her face is because I commented, "Prince was right."

Daughter: Why are there googly eyes on the cat? Me: 'cause I'm a horrible person (The cat shook them off a moment later. )

I did a quick read through of a short story before sending it to a beta reader . . . And here we are, one full editing pass later.

Hydrate, people. In this heat, if you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated. Get someplace cool: your local library, an indoor mall, anywhere you can exist out of the blazing sun for several hours.

CCR, no, I've never seen Lorraine, and I don't know who's going to stop her either. Please, stop asking me.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

For the #booksky folks who may be looking for something to read this week, I highly recommend "The Scorpio Races" by @maggiestiefvater.bsky.social and "Together We Will Go" by J Michael Straczynski.

I wonder if country songs use whisky as their go to alcohol because it's easier to rhyme with than bourbon.

Four years ago, I opened up a file, named it Candlewort, and started writing again.

And the first earworm of 2025 is "Cruella de Vil". That . . . doesn't bode well.

Got a new page written for Candlewort tonight. Still trying to decide how to introduce it here on Blue Sky.

In a recent poll it was discovered that 87% of sheep ranked 'Fleece Navidad' as their favorite Christmas song (poll has a margin of error of +/- 7%). In a related study, scientists say 94% of sheep are hard of hearing.

Commercial: The spirit of carne asada is alive at *restaurant*. Me: "Our meat is haunted" seems like a weird marketing flex.

My playlist just gave me a Smart Water commercial followed immediately by Brian Blessed yelling, "Die!" as it shifted to the Flash Gordon soundtrack

If you didn't get paid to make it, it's not provolone. What you have is amateurvalone.

After 20+ years working at the Post Office, you'd think I'd have some great funny postal stories to tell . . . but I've found what postal employees consider funny work stories other people call trauma.
