Our First Nuclear War

Tomorrow is Hiroshima Day.

Seventy years ago Enola Gay dropped its payload - and the world changed forever.

Pause awhile and remember

See you next week. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.

Cool Weather

It's England. It's overcast. It's 18 degrees Celsius.

And it's perfect.

I don't think it was the heat - or the humidity - that was the problem. I've been to places that were hotter (Tashkent 51c, Samarkand, Bukhara, both 49c). And places more humid (Dushanbe 48c 80%, Hong Kong, Singapore - where if I hadn't known for certain that I can't breathe water I'd have sworn the humidity was 100%).

No - the problem was air-conditioning. US Americans seem devoted to the stuff. Hotels, shops, private houses - all air-conditioned. Often to the point of needing a coat indoors. This means you never acclimatise to the heat. Samarkand & Bukhara aren't exactly hot-beds of air-con so within a day or two I became accustomed to it. In Dallas (and NOLA) I never had that chance. So every single time I left the house and walked into 35+ Celsius it was like opening an oven door. That "whoa, that's hot" feeling.

No fun at all.

The trip was fun though. Learnt a lot. Bought a lot of books (they're cheaper at the con than usual). Caught up with friends - though not a much as I wanted. the GCLS Con has grown - which is great for the Society, it's more professional, moving more towards becoming a respected group. But I miss the smaller, more intimate, show it used to be. Where you could hang out with friends a lot more. And where it wasn't so hard to choose which sessions you would be able to attend, and which you had to forego...

Another Week of Sunshine

Our city will have another week of warmer than normal weather. I am ready for my rain and gray days to return. It's been a heat record summer and yet we still have a couple of months to go. Odd how some places are getting rain which is outside their normal summer weather pattern. Many of these places actually need the water but perhaps not the quantity that is arriving. Of course we have those climate change deniers and to them I say whatever.

Well another tiny update so a good thing that Ze is back at you all tomorrow. T and I will return on Thursday. Until than have a splendid week. Go out and do something fun.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Late Nights

The Kasey Chambers concert last night was fantastic. What wasn't so fantastic was the morning. E and I are both so used to getting to bed early and getting up early. Our 1:30 am bed time was tough. I slept in much later than E. She'll have an early night.

Even with the late night and the standing room only crowd it's always worth it to see Kasey Chambers live. We got to hear some new songs, which hopefully means she'll be releasing a new album in Australia soon.

Today we've been good slugs. Monday E will head back to work and I'll tackle the house. It's time to give everything a good cleaning once again. And then I'll start my summer break comic book inventory task. I've got several boxes that need to be entered into the database and then taken to storage.

August Already?

Summer is slipping by quickly. Tamara and I have a couple days alone before the kids return, hence sleeping in and being slugs. As it should be. Tonight we will go see Kasey Chambers. We both are looking forward to this one. Her new album Bittersweet is really great and I highly recommend it to all.

Back to your update, enjoy.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Return to Routine

Mom arrived safely back in Oklahoma today around 4:15pm central time. She left our dry, hot weather and was met with lovely rain in Oklahoma City. I should mention how crazy it is that the grass in OKC is currently greener than ours in Seattle.

It's nice to have the house back to being guest free but it's also weird not having mom here. I'm glad she's in good health and can travel to stay with us twice a year. I know she'll never move here. She's too used to Oklahoma.

Now if we can just manage to be in a slightly larger house by the time she visits for a month next year.

TGIF

I need this week to end. Other than our concert with Kasey Chambers on Saturday evening, I am hoping for some serious downtime with Tamara. A nice slow weekend of nothing will be great.

Have a splendid weekend and enjoy your update. By the way Ze is safely back home and I am sure we can expect some good rambles from her next week. Until than, Peace to you all.

Homeward Bound

By the time this is posted I'll be on my way home. Almost certainly still somewhere over North America because about a third of my flight time is there. Plus I have to change planes in Chicago (never been there before) which adds an hour to the time.

All being well, I arrive at Heathrow late morning (UK time) Thursday. Then there's a wait for the coach. Then the journey home. I should finally get home sometime around 19.00 hours.

I'll be spending Friday recovering & trying to re-set my body clock.

This should post automatically but either E or Tamara will need to post it to the Yahoo group (thanks, mates). There's nowhere near as much as I thought I'd have for you - AO3 went down while I was checking it. I will catch up when I get home & I'll either set it so E or T can post it or I'll post it next week.

See you next week - from home. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.

Back in Dallas

GCLS is over for another year. Drove back from NOLA to friends in Dallas on Sunday.

Spent yesterday doing the tourist thing.

Saw The Grassy Knoll. And The Book Depository.

And a fantastic series of sculptures representing a cattle drive.

Went up a tower with a great view over the city.

Had problems getting food - if your salad has a list of ingredients which does not include cheese why the hell would the salad you give me be covered in bloody cheese!! That went straight back. (Not me that returned it - I'm English - I would just have left it uneaten and not complained - we're like that.) The second attempt was delicious. Had these little hot pepper things on it. Very nice.

When Your Kid is an Introvert

We're in the final week of my mother's visit. I do love my mother but I'm not ashamed to say I'm looking forward to Friday. I'll drop mom off at the airport bright and early, then take Cal to his dad's. Home sweet home with just me, Max and Beanie (and E when she gets in from work)....heaven.

The Weekend Arrives

We had one more day on the go. We enjoyed the Hibulb Cultural Center and some barbeque in Marysville. All around nice day even with the small amount of rain we had. Just enough to make the grass grow I am sure.

Tomorrow is heading to be even more relaxing as we will finally get to sleep in and than relax with an afternoon movie. An all around easy day for sure.

Here is hoping you all are having a great day and weekend is splendid.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Road Tripping

We've been busy here the last few days. Yesterday we traveled to Marymount, WA and toured The Lemay Family Collection Foundation. If you're at all interested in vintage automobiles, this is the place to go. I can honestly say I didn't expect it to be quite so interesting.

Today we spent some time at Ikea. We decided the last time we visited Ikea was also when my mom was here but it was about 5 years ago. After today's visit I believe we can wait 5 more years for another.

Tomorrow we're heading to Marysville to visit the Hibulb Cultural Center. This should be a lot of fun. I'm pretty well versed in the cultures of Oklahoma tribes but Northwest Native American tribes are still very new to me.
