The Story Continues...

Heart of Darkness: Chapter 49. Blood and Ashes
Etienne and Charles are horrified to learn that two Tremere apprentices were murdered during their search of the late Regent Bainbridge’s house for Egyptian items of interest, and the murderer got another canopic jar...

Good luck knowing WHEN the next hurricane will hit Florida. Or Texas, or Louisiana, or the Carolinas...

Looks yummy! 😋

I had never thought of it this way, but.... it's true, isn't it? It really is.

Especially in Manhattan, where it's REALLY TRUE....

But will he actually wear galoshes? (Probably not....) 😆

I suppose explaining to him that Rain Fights LA Fires is not an option....?

Or even offices to put the desks IN.

Ditto on A Sorceress Comes To Call, by T. Kingfisher. (Kind of a regency-era faerie tale...) 😍

CVS should learn that lesson....

Ugh, indeed. I had no idea this was going on. Despicable...

EXALTED: A Nest of Dragons, Chapter 31. Genshaku, Demitris, and Ren make plans to rescue V’neef Citan. Genshaku, using the Mask to appear as Mnemon Tsukasa, sneaks into Jingsu-tal, and makes some interesting discoveries...

Never underestimate the ambition of a man who has to prove he's NOT a loser.... (Seriously, we here are just gobsmacked over some of his insane ideas... I mean, Canada? Really? ONE STATE? Good lord, y'all have what, ten provinces! And HEALTHCARE! And GUN LAWS!)

They'll probably start taxing a recharge at charging stations. Of course, that won't cover charging at HOME, but charging stations won't be free (or tax-free) forever...

Okay, this was SUPPOSED to be a follow-up post to my more recent chapters of A Nest of Dragons, since apparently I hadn't posted updates since The Wedding (which had a rather tragic ending...). I've added much more since then!

Safe Travels, for everyone involved (even chickens and houseplants...). And of course, for Ursula, Kevin and Hound. And the cats... 😀

.... I didn't even realize this was a real MOVIE....

Haven't read this one. I keep meaning to... but I need to read all the other books on my Kindle first! 😀

I know! I am too scared to use one (I am Old, too... can't risk an accident...). But they look so fun to operate! (If you're young and still have your balance!)

I live in the DC suburbs (Maryland side), and we've had integrated bike lanes on our local roads over the past few years. Have yet to see many bikes actually using them, though a few e-scooters do so! E-bikes available too. I don't mind it, but I also am patient when driving...
