How cool?

"Cooler with lows around 5 above. Northwest winds 15 to 25 mph. Wind chill values as low as 25 below after midnight." .. Oh .. that's about -31C, if I recall correctly. We... have plenty of blankets and a couple of cats to help, and plans for a warm breakfast, too.

Meanwhile, Rolanni recently discovered the web feed for WFUV which has been a great treat over the last few days. May have to send them a donation... wonder if they have a yard sale or something I can donate a signed book to...

Also meanwhile, both of us have been working on Fledgling today, with the result that a bit of sharpening got done on the first chapter, and just in time, too, since that's launching come Monday. Aieee... talk about hold the press!

The revised GnuCash might be the ticket... we'll have to see if I have time to grab it and mess with it. What I'm looking for should have reasonable small business capability. It needn't be scalable to 300 desktops.

Meanwhile: it's -3F at 7:12 AM and we're going to start the car so the seats are warm when we take off out of here to deliver Rolanni to the hill.

Yesterday I looked out the window and saw our local eagle fly over -- about 100 feet away -- on his way to scout one of his favorite fields. Note that I did not go outside with the camera to grab his portrait, this time time.

Yesterday's mail run and email run together yielded a lot of junk mail ... and a single fair-sized paper check in support of Fledgling, for which we thank you, folks. We didn't get a chance to upgrade the numbers yesterday, but once folded into the total I think that'll finish up Chapter 16 and start Chapter 17. In my calculations we'll hit the half-way point when Chapter 19 is paid for, since I'm guessing we'll have 37 chapters and maybe an author's note there at the end to deal with. This is a guess... we might do 35 and we might do 40, depending on the story.

I see Andrew Wheeler of Science Fiction Book Club took note of our project in his blog early in January. Please, if you happen to notice such links or mentions of Fledgling or any of our work, feel free to let us know. We can't egoscan everyday, after all.
