rolanniSigh.
I sometimes think I ought to write a non-fiction book about the day-job.
And then I think, “Nah. Nobody’d believe you.”
It snowed today, very prettily, but to no great effect. Forecasts are for a maximum of three inches accumulation. Still, we ought now to have snow on the ground for the holiday.
I didn’t write nearly so many words this evening, given various horrifying stupidities elsewhere, but I’m pleased with the words I did write, and some forward motion is better than none.
Progress on The Book Presently Known as George:
11,822 words/100,000 OR 11.82% complete
“It happens that I was working, but I must claim you for my rescue, for I believe I have been working far too long this day.” That style was a little forward of his current ability, she thought — but see what he made of it.

Oh, and the sockdreams.com order arrived today. Initial observation is that over-the-knee socks really do keep your feet warmer than even cotton gym socks. I have no idea why this is. They're also more fun to wear. :-) Will report back on how they do in the wash....

Mayhew snorted. "Your forward momentum is going to lead all your followers over a cliff someday." He paused, beginning to grin. "On the way down, you'll convince 'em all they can fly." He stuck his fists in his armpits, and waggled his elbows. "Lead on, my lord. I'm flapping as hard as I can."
Keep flapping!

In general folks will be pleased though. If this helps fill up Lake Powell, great. It's been pretty empty for years. And if it adds to the flow of the Colorado River upon which several states depend for a lot of water then very good too. I'm sure the scientists are out there counting all the drops of water like they do.
C. Gus doesn't like the rain one bit.
