Oh, shit, it's that orange tractor again

An orange tractor going down my road. It has an attachment on it. That attachment was very recently used to cut hay.

Also there are weird noises in the corn, I mean, more than before

For everyone wondering if I am in fact secretly tempted to by Rick Nielsen's five-necked guitar, the current bid for which is $100,000, I will tell you that I have an immutable rule, which is not to spend more for a guitar than I spent buying the church. This rule continues to serve me well.

The sanctuary of the church, with The Beast, my six-necked guitar, on the altar.

Me to Krissy, right now: "Compared to this mine was a fuckin' STEAL"

It's not "super intelligence." It's not even "intelligence." It continues to fuck up easy questions, like to whom I dedicated my most recent book. Also, Mike Johnson is a craven, simpering weasel and none of the people standing near him in this video respect him even the tiniest bit.

"To whom did John Scalzi dedicate The Shattering Peace"

"John Scalzi dedicated his novel The Shattering Peace to his longtime editor and friend Teresa Nielsen Hayden"

My editor is clearly expecting words in the manuscript this morning. I must oblige her.

Spice the cat, sitting on my desk, looking judgy.

Also this morning from rural Ohio.

A spider web, catching the morning sunlight, in a glade of trees whose leaves are illuminated by the sun.

Good morning, Bluesky, from rural Ohio.

There is a cornfield in the foreground with a big red barn in the middle and a bunch of trees in the background. In the morning sky the just-past-full moon is hanging low, getting ready to set.

Update: I have escaped the Nor'easter and have returned home to cloudless skies.

The light blue skies of an early Ohio autumn.

Thank you to everyone who braved the elements to come see us talk about utopias and dystopias at the Villa Albertine today! It was lovely to be in your presence.

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation

Portrait of a dog sequestered against her will as workmen in the house replace the washer and dryer. How can she possibly defend the house if she's trapped in the office with me? How could we do this to her?

Charlie is standing by a closed door and looking very unhappy about it

Charlie the dog and Saja the cat laying down with each other, their paws touching each other, isn't that adorable?
