Ugh

I stayed in bed all night. This does not mean I had uninterrupted sleep.

I don’t even know if I’m safe to drive, today.

But I soldier on, regardless.

Thanks for keeping me busy, yesterday. I may need that again. We’ll see.

Challenge #00545 - A170: Acapella

It was a companionable quiet, with the rhythmic “whud, whud, whud” of the engine accompanied by various tapping and clanking of everyone doing their jobs. Eventually everyone’s noises gradually synced with the main beat and suddenly the Lion King happened.

“I swear sir, I left for four seconds and they started a musical number" 

Goryx stared out at the rows of humans - still working, of course - as they continued to sing.

I was looking through your books on Smashwords and was wondering who does your covers? Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way, but,...

But I still have two and a half (or so) hours to survive until bedtime.

TV is right out, because that makes me fall asleep [IRONY!]

Games can only hold my attention for so long.

Bluh.

Buy my books please?

For the 'Mad Scientist' question, part of the reason I asked was the obvious, and part of it was... real scientists have to (try to) be the...

I dunno. Given some of the cackling we’ve heard from Mythbusters…

Most scientific types just tend to get vexed at street-folk levels of misunderstanding, though.

The scientific method can be explained thus:

  1. What would happen if we do the thing?

  2. Think about doing the thing.

  3. Do the thing.

  4. Write down the results vs expectations

  5. Repeat steps 3-5 until a large enough sample size is met

  6. Publish

Considering that most TheThings are deadly [radiation comes readily to mind] than it&
