Power of Hope 2: S√čútx̌ adəč

What happened before: It’s been 10 years since Sam Salish‘s life has been taken over by the mysterious unNaturals Bureau. In return for his compliance, he’s gotten unprecedented access to worldwide research which he uses to find his love, now 387 years in the past.

Homecoming: How old am I?

Homecoming: How old am I?

What happened before: Cissy’s age is twenty-two but there are hint that she’s older, much older. She searches for the artifact the apparently six-year-old Sally told her about. Caught in a series of side-quests that have nothing to do with the artifact, she’s landed forty years in the past, at the Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho.

Following the main traffic flow out of the base, Cissy…

Fiction: The Power of Hope

Fiction: The Power of Hope

Another weekend Read. I’m working on a sub-plot to mature Cissy. I’m thinking of doing it via a romantic interest. I would love your input

The next day, Pike Street Market, Seattle, Washington.

With no reason to hope, Sam Salish had hope. SHE would return. The impossible woman, impossibly dark, impossibly tall and thin, with a scowl that curdled milk and captured his soul. When she…

I was a Teen-aged Mule.

I was a Teen-aged Mule.

I was a Teen-aged Mule.

Are you one of those who escaped high school with a diploma, no fond memories, and a determination to succeed beyond everyone’s belief? Yep, that was me. The upside was my academic successes, three degrees, a long career in systems engineering in many exciting technologies, and enough savings to retire early. The downside was my inability to remember roughly ten years…

The shocking reason I delete posts

The shocking reason I delete posts

Getting away from my writer’s table and mingling with the societal underbelly, elementary school mentoring, Meals on Wheels, Habitat, Prison GED, Food Pantry, etc., has taught me many things.

One of those is that a mistake made in haste lives forever. In a small, in most senses, rural town such as I’m expatrioting in, whispers and faux-hurt feelings follow the smallest infraction into the…

Desteneé1: Trial by Graduation

Preface:

Being the good brother, I came home from college to attend my brother’s high school graduation. It was the first at the new high school with students who went there for their full four years. Obviously, this was the right time to establish TRADITIONS! No not Tevye traditions, the type that will make you sing in joy. Well, the grads were forced to…

Banned by @facebook

I’ve started a campaign across social media. Using my tiny corner of reality, I’ve screen shot three postings @facebook has banned. They are below. This brings up several question:

Why? BTHOOM, all i get a garbled ‘not meeting community standards.’ look over the banned postings to see what @facebooks no longer accepts as within their community standards.

This is only three bans. What’s your…

Dystopian: more on this project

Dystopian: more on this project

Dystopias happen when the elite know what everyone else should do…and they manipulate the power to force the minorities to toe the line. The first to be screwed are the minorities.

This youtube is another example, this time of a capital “S” Socialist empire, USSR, decades long genocide against those who were known for progressing in social and economic terms faster than the socialist party’s…

Win a book: Catapults on sailing ships

Win a book: Catapults on sailing ships

This one is fun enough that if you solve my fellow-writer’s problem with real engineering math, you’ll get a free book.

Kim Maiford https://www.facebook.com/kim.mainord asks:

I’m posting this question from my page here too because I really need an answer.

Does anyone happen to know if it’s possible to put a catapult on a 30 ft boat and use it without destabilizing the craft? If not is…

My nasty Social Media dysfunction

My nasty Social Media dysfunction

My main (social media) problem is I adore true-believers, religious/anti-religious, red/blue, left/right. I let the illogic bloom, watch it turn its seed head away from the heat of Aristolean and Gottlob Frege-ian logic. After the two fathers of logic finish rolling over in in their grave, my teeth itch.

For me, the cure teeth itching is pointing out blatant logic holes. A time sink, while…

Why I've dropped "The Rookie" TV program

Why I’ve dropped “The Rookie” TV program

I’ll not be back for the second season of The Rookie.

Click on the Instagram link (https://www.instagram.com/p/B0vCRlxld74/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet) for background.

Obsensibly, the program was about three rookies struggling to make the grade in the Los Angeles City policy force.

To be honest, I was more taken with the sergeants’ back stories and how they dealt than the n00bs

A 'maybe' DYSTOPIAN Novel

A ‘maybe’ DYSTOPIAN Novel

I’ve been toying with the notion of writing a dystopian novel based on real historical incidents in American history. The constitution had been interpreted and minority rights were no longer protected. The inconvenient Electoral College had been effectively suspended and replaced with a system where only the Right People got elected. German Immigrants, men, women and children were slaughtered as…
