Dolly is past now and we're all fine. It could have been worse but cleanup was a bitch. The gardens look, well, like a hurricane hit them. The palms, grapefruit, mangoes, avocado, chilies, cactii, honeysuckle, most of the bananas, and lime are all ok. Two big oaks(!), one small mesquite, the peach, the basil, catnip, cilantro, rosemary, almost all of the mini roses, spearmint and chamomile? They're dead, Jim. The night blooming jasmine, most of the passion flowers, and the big pata de vaca orchid tree are all questionable. I guess we'll see if they live or no.
Anyway, since the other day I have spoken to both folks from home office and district. They are acting as if I never told them to collectively lick me. Which is weird but whatever. I thought at the bare minimum I'd be written up for 'uncooperative behaviour.' I am going to tentatively say I am still employed, at least until they tell me to pack my shit and get.OUT. Yknow, I just typed that and sighed the sigh of indecision. Is that a good thing or bad thing that I'm still employed? I'm not sure, ask me later. When I'm either out of cash or sanity, apparently I can't have both here.
So, for about a year I've been using a Palm TX to read my fiction. I'm in love with the wee thing because, thanks to Documents To Go, it'll take just about any form of fic in Word, Excel, PDF, txt files, it'll even take embedded pics which is a good thing since I like to buy ezines. It's all very cool. But I fell in love with it because I can use MobiPocket on it (along with a jillion other apps) and convert copies of (even fan)fic from Word to Mobi using MobiCreator and do you have any idea how many fics you can cram onto a 2GB flash memory card? One helluva lot, srsly. Add a backlight so I can read in the dark, changeable text size, and an autoscroll in Mobi and I <3 it. And because I carry that thing with me everywhere and read voraciously, and mostly because I'm CHEAP, I thought maybe I'd better start sharing the wealth a little when I get links like this:
---> If you go to
TOR.COM now thru Sunday, they have a nice little list of sci-fi and fantasy books in various formats, including Mobi, that are downloadable for FREE. I think there's over 25 available, authors like Brandon Sanderson, John Scalzi, Jo Walton, Harry Turtledove, Jeffrey Carver, and Cyril Pedrosa. Go forth, download while you can, enjoy. And don't say I never gave you nothing. ;)
