Morning!

Morning everyone!~

Today is Labour Day in America. The day where we honour labourers everywhere. Not Labradors. Although I suppose those could be honoured.

I’m bound for the UK tomorrow evening. It’s a ten hour flight direct from San Diego to London and from there I’m in a car to Bristol. There was a bit of discussion on whether I was going to do Coach or Train. Well, after looking at the timeline and how many planes, trains and cabs I’d end up taking, I went with a car because it cut about two hours off of the trip. Which means less time lugging baggage from the terminal to the station then to the cab then to the hotel.

It’s funny how certain things really make or break a decision. For me, it was time spent in a moving metal box. So… wooot. See? My life is so exciting.

Even more exciting? I’m writing this on Sunday night. Watching Expendables 3 while waiting for the rice to finish cooking. I made a red Hawaiian salt, garlic and pepper dry rub and tossed beef cubes into it. Braised those and now just waiting on the rice. Did laundry ALL day. Okay so I also apparently am here to run the cat’s ears. Because you know… cat.

Tam is this particular cat. The one with diabetes. He’s an ear scritch whore.

Wesley Snipes is such an overactor.

You know that adage that says if you burn yourself the meal will be good? Then the beef will be great because I somehow got an oil splash on the underside of my left arm. Go figure.

Whatcha all up to this morning?

Huh. Yep. Agreed.

0N8RxtGI am not an atheist. That’s probably obvious. I’m not even sure what I am. Mostly I’m too busy taking care of my own shit to really care who is talking to God, what name they call him/her or who doesn’t want a God. Still…. this pretty much sums stuff up.

Oh and you should all know.. the are you fucking kidding me is about ketchup on scrambled eggs 😀 Heh. Long standing debate among our friends.

So Let’s Talk Morning Shots…

Here’s the thing about the Morning Shots… well and the Evening ones as well… while they’re great to look at, it becomes increasingly difficult to find copyright free material and nice photos to actually discuss. Because honestly, I do choose the shots based on artistic merit. And I never share any personal selfie shots.

But the time has come when I am going to have to stop posting links to the photos. I know I’m going to lose a lot of you here. And for that I am sorry. I will be replacing the shots with more content because damn it, I have to add content and the Facebook page will remain in place. But the blog, I think has to have a shift to a new direction.

I have enough photo links for a few days. But I wanted to talk to all of you about it first. Not just kill it off and leave you cold turkey. I’ll probably be posting a photo every once in a while if I am certain of its origin.

A while back I asked you all what you wanted to see on the blog. You answered and I think I can deliver. If you want to join the Facebook group, please let me know. I probably will be removing the content from the blog after the last official shot.

I’ll be on a plane in a couple of days and then traveling to the outskirts of Bristol but let’s discuss this. I hope you all are okay with replacing photos with blog content. And I’m interested in your opinions.

 

New Stuff in Shop!

Stuff added to shop to keep Mary Calmes​ happy. THERE! HERE IS YOUR DAMNED HOODIE! *grins*

Sorry about the no beige. You are the only person in God’s Green Earth who wants a beige hoodie.

No profits being made at the shop. A quarter or so is added to cover licenses. 😀

A Note To All Of You…

Sloe Ride is already out in some parts of the world. It’s kinda surreal because I literally am writing the final paragraphs in the Cole McGinnis series right now.

The Sinners series will have two more entries, a novella and a full-length novel then it will be finished. I have other series planned for after both of these are put to bed but it is so fucking surreal to think of what’s gone on in the past few years.

So, to all who have been there since the beginning and to all who have joined me along the way, thank you. You’ve made THIS ride absolutely fricking fantastic and I appreciate your support.

Now I return you to your regularly scheduled murder….
