60+ three-time immigrant, whose life in Africa, Australia, and America, work with industrial and medical quality & safety, and obsession with mortality data and accidents, results in morbid short stories.

I write fiction #shortstories that are like “Final Destination” meets “The Monkey’s Paw” (W. W. Jacobs, 1902). A little bit Poe, a touch of Dahl, and a hint of Gorey.

When I am not writing, I do bare-bow archery, walk a husky, and pick up other people's litter.

@DrALJONES
All the scholarly material I have read says that they feel, or report, or argue that the democratic party abandoned them, but that's all about their beliefs, rather than reality.

They were, and are still now, the beneficiaries of myriad advantages. It seems to my reading that this is more about the world passing them by because they stood still, than being abandoned by anyone.

Also, they lurched rightwards, not leftwards

@Free_Press
These guy make for such cartoonish evil-but-stupid-guy characters

@upmultimedia

Sounds more like the opposite of thrill-seeking than about food.

@DrALJONES
Nobody abandoned them though, and they ran rightwards with a speed that says it was more about racism than anything else

Do you have any idea what the panel specs are?

Depending on Wattage and its open circuit Voltage you might be looking for either a regulator or invertor, and have different aims for it.

If it is a 100W panel, getting an inverter to run your PC might be an option
If its a 20W panel, getting a regulator to charge batteries might be a more useful goal
Etc

At today's #writers workshop, we wrote to a prompt that included the condition that we write a duplex poem. Duplex is a stepchild of the pantoum, so there is repetition of elements.

We got 15 minutes to write

Here is mine

When an eel has a maw
with a pharyngeal jaw,
that’s a moray.

When the jaws open wide
and there’s more jaws inside,
that’s a moray.

When it skulks in a reef
and has two sets of teeth,
that’s a moray.

When an eel bites your thigh
and you bleed out and die
that’s a moray.

I think "Lev" left the building
We all mourn the loss of his sparkling wit and adroit reasoning

@3DBill

Yes
We smell it clearer than most animals
Some evolutionary thing, no doubt
