Two friends, one frequently forgetful, and the other, often constipated, met for coffee.
"I'm glad you remembered to come."
"Me too. Are you, ah, regular, these days?"
"Yes, thanks to your suggestion. That stuff really works!"
"No problem, I swear by Milk of Amnesia."

Give me a 6-10-word story about a picnic with aliens gone wrong.

Good afternoon.
5-6cm of rain drove down the snow, and then we got a flash freeze.
But, at least there is some blue sky.

Can we all agree it's time to give my books a chance?

Crows see everything.
They must have eyes like a hawk.

It's a read an edgy book sort of day.

Safely swim across a cayman and piranha-infested river in a bacon-wrapped, bloody wetsuit?
Pfft...
Try successfully marketing an Indie book.

Officer Ethan Birchom's life takes a sharp turn when a gruesome discovery leads him to hunt down a killer. Read "Way of the Hatchet" now.

Starting April 1, the Canadian government will increase the "alcohol escalator tax."
One more reason to take the stairs.

For my mental health, I have to stop watching the carnage & complete lack of respect for human life in Gaza. I bear witness to Hamas' brutality & cowardly holding of hostages and Israel's ongoing war crimes. There are no good guys in this conflict. It's a dark stain on humanity.

"Confidence without humility is arrogance." - Bob McKillop.

Should we survive - without sacrificing Earth to appease Mammon - humanity will look back at our times with disgust and shame. So many lessons not learned, so many genocides ignored, so many species lost forever...
The human condition doesn't have to translate into annihilation.

In Quantum Mechanics, it's damn near impossible to find a small enough pair of needle-nose pliers.

The grumpy mechanic looked longingly at the kitten I was holding and, without batting an eye, said, "You need a new catalytic converter."
I peeled out of the shop and the car died two miles down the road, but, in my heart, I knew I had made the right decision.

Trust is broken
Hope is vanquished
I look toward the future
With tears in my eyes.

Silence in the face of tyranny is not self-preservation.
It is weakness.

Good afternoon from the Appalachians of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada.
