Tweet of the Day, This Is America And It Is GLORIOUS edition.

I say that without irony, sarcasm, or even good-natured ribbing. This was the goal, all along. This makes the Founders weep with joy in Heaven. This is how they know that they won.

Gentlemen, start you bacon! On its 100th anniversary, today's #DavesCarIDService salutes arguably the finest (and cheesiest) automobile racing competition ever devised: The annual Pig-N-Ford races at the Tillamook County Fair in Tillamook, Oregon.

Loooong day.

It was a good sales day and it may be a slamming one tomorrow, but it was a day that went hard. There were teething troubles. But it’s been freaking big, too, so there you go. I am slagged.

PS: If you can’t make it to the convention, buy my books! And remember that MORGAN BAROD is on Kindle sale this weekend.

BEHOLD! I am at Once Upon A Con.

Hanging out with my sister-in-law today, which is nice. If you’re here, stop on by! I have books.

‘Baker Baker.’

This woman’s music was the soundtrack for some of the best times in my early twenties.

Getting ready for tomorrow… [MORGAN BAROD still on sale!]

…and it’s gonna be interesting. The kind of interesting where I might pull up, look at the situation, and go get breakfast. Fortunately, my setup takes twenty minutes. Unfortunately, it’s the also the kind of interesting where I packed a table, chair, and extra power generators just in case.

Also: MORGAN BAROD is still on sale! For all your “fighting with magically mutated carnivorous squirrels” needs!

This SUPERMAN clip was a lot of fun to watch in the theater.

And the song is a danged bop. Is that what they say, now? A ‘bop?’

Testing a download QR Code for tomorrow.

This should work? The QR code is for Milken Forts, the cross-collaboration that Adventures Await! and I did for The Fermi Resolution Worldbook and Lead & Chrome Backerkits. Let me know if the link doesn’t work.

Back from the DMV!

Shockingly early. The eldest needed to get his learner’s permit, and they’ve set it up so that he could submit stuff online early, make an appointment, be seen at the time of the appointment, submit the paperwork, take the test, and get his learner’s permit. In less than an hour. At the DMV.

The DMV.

Honestly, I had blocked out the entire morning and afternoon for this one. I wasn’t even mad about it, because it would have been like being mad at the tides. Only they apparently put up a breakwater while I wasn’t looking?

PS: I’m as shocked as you are.

Ordered: The Nefarious Nights of Willowweep Manor.

Obviously, The Nefarious Nights of Willowweep Manor was written by Shaenon Garrity, who is even now working on my the book cover art for BANSHEE BEACH. Admittedly, she’s probably at the stage that artists have where they think about things for a little while, just before they erupt into galvanic action, but that’s all right. You cannot rush the process. And since this was what the process has produced…
