The big question for all of them (aside from how to stay alive and get home) has been how they got from the ship (which was getting decidedly unfriendly) to the surface of Rakal.  Now they may have that answer, though the problem of survival is still […]

Jarn’s Journal Year 6 Day 105

Year 6 Day 105 Almost any stone will do for pounding, Little Gnu assures me, but for tools to cut, the stone and how it is shaped depends on what is to be cut. Most of the cutting tools he showed me were some form of microcrystalline quartz: chalcedony, flint, jasper or even agate. A […]

Hi, Sue Ann --

Kudos to you re: the awards for  'Tourist Trap!' That has to be exciting, not to mention gratifying.

Hey Sue Ann, good seeing you again. Augie

Hi Sue Ann.

What kind of book is Tourist Trap? 

At 5:27pm on February 1, 2012, Deborah Batterman said…

Hi, Sue Ann -- I don't know if this remotely answers your WordPress question, but I'm wondering, when you're asked for your identity to leave a comment, if you need to leave your WordPress user name (i.e., not the name of the blog). Or are you doing that (i.e. and I'm misunderstanding you)? I ran into a similar problem, but for me the reason is that I'm using wordpress.org (so even though I have a WordPress site, I'm not recognized in the .com paradigm). I work around it by using a non-WordPress identity. So much to figure out!
