Hope it's OK I'm using this venue to announce & promote my new (& old) published works.

It's just that I've run out of synonyms for "treason" & "treasonous" & give up on pointing out how completely criminal & lawless our current "leaders" truly are. So, NEW SKETCHBOOK! 1st VOLUME of PALEO POP!

Nesting in on Turkey Day with the biggest turkey of 'em all!

For the perfect Thanksgiving, forget the Macy's Day Parade, football, all that.

No, you need the world's first, & only, shot-in-Florida-anti-drug-pro-Christian-biker-gore-turkey-mutant movie ever made...

One other Thanksgiving day favorite I annually indulge.

VHS big-box trivia note: when my kids were teens, they couldn't stop laughing at the coughing fits the chain-smoking narrator lapsed into...

My Thanksgiving isn't complete until I re-experience, with stuffing...

Happy Turkey Day!

June 1928: H.P. Lovecraft's visit with "literary persons' in Guilford, VT.

PS: The so-called "The Awful" manufactured lore, positing H.P.L. visiting northern VT, is a lot of hooey. Never happened. No such HPL visit to the northern region ever occurred.

Then again, after a couple of hours, the 'feature' allowing one to know what part of the globe a comment originated from was removed. Surprise, surprise, surprise!
If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

My first 'film collection'—8mm (and later, Super 8) 50' and 200' reels from Castle Films, Ken Films, etc.

In walking distance of our abode is this crumbling ruin of a once sizeable home. My pal Joe thought a local friend was squatting here when it was still partially intact; dunno.

Risked ticks (!) to snap these pix just after dawn; that dangling bright-red remote-controlled car just breaks my heart.

Matt Mazur worked with our son Danny Bissette on their latest musical project/LP; Matt painted the front-&-back cover art & interior sleeve art. He also self-publishes the zine OH YOU! (this is #26), which Danny showed me & I quite love it.

I was up & walking in 20-degrees+ in time for sunrise...
