 Ah, 2026 already!

I took a little hiatus from the blog in order concentrate on my new books. I'll be posting more about them as they develop. 

I'm trying to finish up a few SciFi short stories to put into 'Scattered Visions 3'. This collection with 7-10 stories, ranging from pure SciFi to a few 'different' ideas that have been rattling around in my head for a while.

You'll see. ;-)

'Pete's Rocket' is a drama set in the 1950's in Levelland, Texas, my home town. I'm putting a lot of my childhood memories into that story to give it some 'character'. 

Anyone out there from or living in Levelland? Would love to hear from you.

Also sketching out a couple of newspaper-style comics/cartoons. I hope you will enjoy my weird sense of humor.

Wander around this blog for more fun stuff.

Please take a look at my books, here and on Kindle for Amazon.

Have a great spring!

If you know what this is, you're an old gamer, just like me! ;-)

Check out my review from Mark Schultz!

Mark Schultz at 'Word Refiner' (https://www.wordrefiner.com/) is featuring a review and comments about my humorous SciFi spoof, 'Arlo and Jake Enlist'. 
It's the first book in a 5 book series featuring my clueless Spacers Jake Jaspers and his sentient pet chameleon Arlo.


Stop by and check out his review and our talks about my books and being an indie author.
Thanks to everyone who grabbed a copy of this book.
Arlo sez 'Hi!'.

What if...

 Just some random thoughts to start the week.

What if:

- Every adult could spend 15 minutes a day solving problems

    - A web site dedicated to solvable issues was available to the World

    - Status of who is working on the issue/problem and possible progress, how they are attacking it

    - History of the problem, failed solutions, references to relevant users/needy/etc

    - Discussion area

    - List of problems solved, who (if they want recognition)  and how

- I only had to exercise once a week for 15 minutes to look like did at 25. Is that really too much to ask?

- All religious leaders agreed on a set of tenets that included everyone and recognized all faiths

- I didn't need compression socks

- We truly had a separation of Church and State in the US

- I could have a martini at night without feeling guilty

- Good Politicians stayed in office and Bad Politicians didn't

- I only had to get up once in the night to pee

- We valued living a good life over owning stuff we're just going to sell at the next garage sale

OK, fine. I mixed a few of my personal gripes in there with the others. I'm human. 

So there!
