Tuesday's Fact Free Conspiracy Theory (on a Wednesday)
All humans are born with the inherent ability to control the weather. This ability is completely lost the first time the baby cries. The doctors know this, which is why they always make the baby cry right away.

Tuesday's Fact-Free Conspiracy Theory
The real reason we have school is to mentally train us for work. The real reason we have work is to get us out of the house so the powers that be can sneak in and steal your food, mess up your settings, and take naps on your furniture.

You, in particular.

Tuesday's Fact Free Conspiracy Theory
There are in fact, not alligators in New York City sewers. They tried, but the Sewer Rat Kingdom extinguished them with prejudice.
If you don't believe that rats can take out alligators, well... I'll let you keep your naivety. For now.

Tuesday's Fact-Free Conspiracy Theory (Still technically on a Tuesday)
Like hangers, pens will multiply when you aren't looking and disappear when you need them. Unlike hangers, when pens multiply, the ink does not. Which is why when you finally find a pen... it doesn't work.

Scorch goes to Con!
Tumblr media
Despite his generous offer, Scorch did not get to drive.
Tumblr media
Scorch loved going to different panels. And many of the panelists loved seeing him!
Tumblr media
Not the best picture, but that's the Convivial mascot.
Tumblr media
Safety first!

Tuesday's Fact-Free Conspiracy Theory delayed
Yeah, I know, I'm behind. I've been really busy, and unfortunately, I'm just wiped out today. So today I'm trying to get started on another thing that has been on my back log.
I attended Convivial a couple weeks ago, and thought you all would like to see some pictures! All pictures will be tagged Convivial so you can skip them if you like. I don't think I'll get all pictures posted today, but should over the next couple days.

I'm sure Oreo would say 'Hi!' back, except he's a cat, so he's too aloof for that kind of thing.
Actually, he tends to hiss at other cats. Got him as an eleven week old kitten, he promptly challenged the four year old cat for dominance.
And won.

Oreo and Frost.
And Fionn is a very beautiful and clearly lucky cat.
It’s my birthday so I’m forcing people on my dash to look at my cat. I can’t afford to blaze it but please look at him. His name is Fionn

Friday's Future Glimpse
Sorry, forgot about this. This is from my most recent (just finished draft one on Monday) novel, called Out With A Bang:
"Broke my glasses and had to go a few weeks without a new pair." She decided not to mention her ankle. "Why were you in such a hurry to get out of there anyway?"
"Um, just had to go?" Wow, the boy could not lie.
Beth closed her eyes and spoke as quietly as she could. "You were the one to set off the firework weren't you?"
When she opened her eyes it was to watch horror and dismay slide into sick resignation. "How much?"
"What?"
"I had to pay one person two hundred dollars to keep it quiet. How much for you?"
Beth just stared at him in horror. "What?"
"Please. I have a scholarship to Penn State. Do you know what would happen if I got charged with... I don't even know what it would be. Please."

Tuesday's Fact Free Conspiracy Theory (once again, on a Wednesday)
Sorry about the delay. Yesterday was busy.
Conspiracy:
Bigfoot is real, another name for the Sasquatch family. Several prominent individuals have actually ended up in politics. Despite the claims from the Kelpie population, it has nothing to do with any desire for power or world dominance. It's simply a job that pays well for little work and no one knows who their representatives are anyway.

Friday's Future Glimpse
These are excerpts from my current Work In Progress (WIP). Written this week. Work is currently titled: Out With A Bang. Not from the same chapter.
Security had been stepped up. The Duvalls hired night security that patrolled regularly, and Kevin had shown her the cameras that were now mounted on some of the lamp posts in the parking lot. They were also debating putting in a few more lamps in the parking lot.
Beth and Jessica had a long talk about installing cameras inside the cabin, with security and safety weighed against loss of privacy, the possibility of them being hacked, etc. Eventually they added a camera to the patio door but decided against cameras inside. And as a plus, now they occasionally got video footage of animals walking around. Rabbits were the most common, but there had been deer a couple times, and Jessica was certain that there was a fox hanging around just out of camera range.
Under potentials were two other unique entries and one that had two. One for gloves, one for shawl, and two for slippers. "Yeah, I got nothing," Beth admitted looking over the options.
"Me neither." Jessica rubbed at her forehead. "Do we start asking people?"
"Ask them what? 'Hey, we found a notebook that we believe belonged to a blackmailer. Your name was in it. Want to tell us why you were being blackmailed? We promise not to pick up where she left off.' I'm sure that will go over super well. I'm not even sure I want to know why Mrs. Busey is on this list. Do you?" She had been the one for gloves.
Jessica made a face. "Yeah, that might not be the best way to go. But I'm sure they would appreciate being questioned by the police even less."
