Robbing Peter to pay Paul -- Government division

AKA a "Ponzi Scheme."

Noted with wry amusement our dear Governor's proposal to collect $250 million against ten years of future lottery revenues, to balance the next budget. "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."

Hey, he's a Democrat. I thought only Republicans were allowed to be fiscally irresponsible idiots under the current meme.

Done de done done

Finished the editorial revisions of DRAGON'S TEETH and ran off hardcopy this afternoon. Now I'll let it sit and ferment for a week or so until I don't know each page by heart and can maybe, _maybe_, see the typos in front of my face. Stuff always looks different on paper, which helps.

MS Word says 103,000 words plus, which is what I started with. Probably most of them are still the same, but there were cuts, I bled, and then I added stuff. We'll see.
