Any hoo, I just read about the Blue Lake Rancheria Tribe’s innovative solution to Pacific Gas & Electric’s preemptive rolling blackouts. Now that we’re in a full blown climate crisis, I think they’re on to something. It’s past time to ask ourselves if private sector mega utilities are up to the job. Is a publicly…

Milquetoast Mitch, Because… Democracy
So here’s the thing Mitch, do you mind if I call you Mitch, or would you prefer Milquetoast? Okay, Milquetoast it is. I understand not wanting to bring the house Dems’ more progressive or controversial bills to the floor. That would mean you might actually have to vote on them. Because… Democracy. But there is…
Lies are not constitutionally protected.
I know ya’ll are thinking… Messing with “free speech” is a slippery slope my friend, we don’t want to toboggan down. Where does it end, right? Upon reaching the bottom, do we shoot off all willy-nilly, onto the a frozen pond? Its thin ice fracturing beneath the preponderance of weighty truth? But from the top, …
Shut the fuck up! You’re stupid is showing.
So another election season is almost upon us. Being heralded in by the multitude of pundit and political has-been’s (Donna Brazile) writing innuendo filled books and hit pieces in hopes of reviving flagging careers.

When My PC Crashed, Scrivener Ate My Homework
Okay, since I got this new PC (new hotness turned out to be a POC…Asus—just don’t,) I’ve been plagued with black screens, crashes and freezing. Black screens while writing in Scrivener’s split screen mode have been particularly troublesome (no, this is not an excuse for the lengthy wait for SOL book two.) Because, much to…
Keep Calm and Blame Canada

What is the deal, America? I thought we had an agreement. We Canadians have tried to be polite neighbours; we’re kinda known for it. I feel let down. Canada has kept our part of the bargain, regularly offering up sacrificial talent to the American volcano: Michael J. Fox, Ryan Reynolds, Jim…
Twitter Refrigerator Repair Chronicles
So Peeps, our inside refrigerator died a while back, but hey we still had the 20 year old outside fridge from the first home we bought (a condo, no longer ours) when we were a young married couple with no kids *sigh*… No worries, right? How many working refrigerators does one really need. So it’s five…
First 10000 Readers Author Training Program First Impression and beyond…
So, when I decided to write my romance novel “The Science of Loving,” I didn’t consider what came after hitting the publish button.
