I'm waiting for Trudeau to start a civil war in Canada. That has the potential to get out of hand in a hurry.

I may watch curling and the Jamaican bobsledders, nothing more. How many participants will claim they didn't ask for the anal probe?

Yes. He was in the middle of the football field surrounded by players (from both teams) and various other people. I have trouble posting links here, go to King5.com and scroll down.

Except he didn't pray silently at least some of the time. I also live in the Seattle area and I've seen and heard a lot about this case. He was not doing this privately, it was very public. KING 5 news has video. I may be a bit sensative because I spent fifteen years in a cult trying to...

When the US constitution was written the United States was conceived as a Federation of independent, sovereign entities. We've made hash of that over the years, mostly since the depression. We don't need to gum up the works by adding a new layer of States.

Points well taken, thank you. I'm going to change my keywords and see if that makes a difference. I've already concluded that I'm going to return to historical fiction. The writing, and the research are both more fun. To that end, I'm a week or two away from turning "The Privateer" (naval...

I’m asking people for feedback on a marketing problem for my most recent book. When COVID hit I edited an unsold alternate history trilogy and self-published it on Amazon. I plugged the books on Facebook and a couple of online writer’s groups familiar with my work. I have pleased with the...

I can't imagine what those families are going through tonight.

There never was any violence in Seattle, unless it was perpetrated by outside right wing extremist agitators. All protests in Seattle are peaceful expressions of personal opinions. People had a great time roasting marshmallows (vegan of course) over burning police cars.

Can I steal that? With attribution?

I live in the Seattle suburbs. I've been here since 1963, except for a few years going to school in Eastern Washington. I love this state, but our politics are a mess. Seattle dominates King County, and King County dominates the state. And Seattle will elect anything with a D after the name...

I was raised around guns. I can't pick one up without checking the chamber. In my book, if you're holding a gun, you're responsible for what the gun does, end of story. If Hollywood wants to impose some gun safety standards, they can start in Hollywood. Armorers should be required to pass...

Thank you, I saw the media link, but couldn't get it to go away. I was doing a cut and past of the URL into the link box, but it kept changing it to "media." Why was it doing that?

I can't get the link to work. What am I doing wrong?

My latest novel, “Armageddon’s Disciples” is now available in both print and Kindle versions. This is inspired by my fifteen-year involvement with an apocalyptic religious cult. (I may post something about that if people are interested.) This is the description off the back cover. “When...

If LBJ becomes President in 1961 the VRA is the smallest of the things that would change. No "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech? Do college students start marching in the streets and taking over the deans' offices four years sooner? Marijuana and LSD become things sooner, or at all? These...

Flipped on the local evening news to see what’s going on, mostly thinking about the forest fires in Eastern Washington. So first they talked about two people shot in Tacoma, then it was somebody shot in another part of Tacoma, then it was a guy found in his car in North Seattle with a bullet...

I have never been able to find a reprint of a cartoon I saw about 1968. Two guys watching an eagle flying overhead. One of them says "his left wing keeps making him turn right."

I did a day camp, with a few overnights, in upstate New York. Lots of horse riding. When we moved to Washington State I started going to a camp for two or three weeks at a time. Typical camp stuff, horses, swimming, hiking. First time I kissed a girl was in August of 1966 at the Bar...

And a hundred years from now backyards will be full of grilling food and coolers of beer. The conversation will start with "does anybody remember what we're celebrating?" On the other hand that might not be a bad thing.
