Sog

Rain overnight. More rain today. Rain forecast for forever.

Looks like Younger Son and Girlfriend won't be visiting us this summer, after all. This is a good news/bad news joke -- the good news being that now I can slack off on the scraping and painting chores on this derelict we call a house.

Probably for the best -- the mosquitos would carry them off if the blackflies didn't eat them first.

Another one gone

Quoted from a post by Lynn Flewelling on sff.net:

"It is with very deep sorrow that I must report the passing of Science Fiction
author Patricia York. She was killed in a car accident in Columbus Ohio yesterday
afternoon while visiting family in the area."
