Killer new sci fi from Anspach & Cole
The Galaxy is a Dumpster Fire…
A hot, stinking, dumpster fire. And most days I don’t know if the legionnaires are putting out the flames, or fanning them into an inferno.

I Don’t Understand
A few days ago, we saw this sticker on the freeway. Please tell me what I’m missing? Is this person trying to imply that their offspring are, at times, aggressive or dominant or superior? If so, why not say that instead of saying their kids are assholes? Huh????

I’m Peaking As We Speak !!!
Good friends of ours opened a float therapy business called Peak Performance Float Inc. Here is their website. The address is 311 Lennon Lane Ste #A in Walnut Creek, CA 94596. You can call them at 925-899-87761.
For a sci fi guy living in the future, I don’t get out much. I’d never heard of floating… but it is the in thing, kids! It’s also relaxing. You get into this crazy space pod by yourself, the water is warm and incredibly buoyant, the lights go out, it’s just you and the universe...

As usual now, it’s been a very busy stretch of days in Camp Carlson. Mostly good news, hard work, progress… but my wife’s cinnamon-sugar shaker has defeated me once again in mortal combat!
