Test Flights

Look for https://www.createspace.com/3976299 and give this whole procedure 5-7 business days to be fully operational.

I am about to cross a barrier that I've been sniffing about for a long time, and I'm still full of trepidations concerning its fate, or that of its sister volumes of The Touching Lands Dance, but here we go. The Family Forge will soon become a real, live softcover book at about 212 pgs. (glossary included) available from Amazon.com for only $9.85! Carolyn, my editor @ WormholeElectric.com did the PDF file embeddng that stopped things cold in August. It's now undergoing a print review process, so hopefully all the files for the words and the cover will parse properly. If all goes well, I might even have some hard copies on hand at Philcon. The Kindle® e-book will still be available. May Those Beyond nod approvingly at my efforts and assist in its and my financial prosperity. 

Ure'i Apash Nal!

This is Summer Solstice on the Super-Economy Plan. E.g., things are so out of date that this userpic shows my old Mac Moll'ie Ra positioned where the sofa-bed sits now in front of the window where a tree has been growing for at least the past four years.

My toilet's still clogged. Bank balance : $50
Next payday: June 24 (Sat.), but it will appear in banc on the Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday thereafter.

I have food, but am virtually empty on Rx; I'm presumably visiting Jamaica Mark next week for my refill: $100.

Contata starts tomorrow.  I'm suppposed to be Hotel Liaison.  I looked up the fare for NYC- MORRISTOWN : $14 each way, presumably $28 r/t. $11 cash (4 subway rides) goto Metrocrud.  Arriving in Morristown 2ish.  I'll presumably stay w/ rogow at $130, which will presumably void available accounts, as would  ANY unexpected expenses past this.

Meanwhile,  the Breast Cancer Foundation people called and asked  for money. I told them they'd have to wait. Con Ed sent me a notice:

"WE were recently asked to open a new account with a Social Security number matching the one on your account shown above.."

Expecting danger signals, I spent 15 minutes on telephone learning that my real SSN does not match my real account, this after spending 10 minutes asking if this was a scam. If the power fails, I suppose we'll know for sure.

The rent will be due next week. My roommate shall have been deceased almost a month by then. In his honour, I went to see Wonder Woman, and for my peace of mind, I'm going to Contata. I'll be out of money after that.  You're probably  doing better than I am, so don't ask.

This is Fantasy. Masturbation.  This is the car I keep writing Santa for. You've got one in your imaginary garage, don't you? I do. Nobody's ever gonna buy it for me because just this week I'd spent all my available money on staying alive or whatever, and the Next Scheduled Payment still won't be enough to cover my so-called life, either real or imagined. I can't justify owning the thing because I don't travel enough aggregate kilometers in a given measured interval beyond the MTA Subway grid I grew up wth, best demonstrated by the 1957 New York Subway Map, not counting the Myrtle Avenue Line or the two ends in far-eastern Queens soldered together early in the 21st century by the Archer Avenue extension.

But what if it wsa electric? I could go anywherer that the trains could take me, and it would be energy-efficient. All I'd need is a charging point, and that would be the local garage wherever I chose to live my fantastic life. I could zip anywheren and I'd always have a seat. It would be an infinitely adjutable Recaro seat that would cradle my aged butt everywhere and anywhere, and fit my invisible girlfriend like a dream.  When I'm not busy driving, she could spend her time reading or answering my email on the special iPad Pro hooked in the middle. Her petite feet would gently brush the Indian mini-rugs for the front and rear floors.

The car itself would be a Tesla Model 3. Red. Not that garish sports car red, the more subtle jewel-toned red from other expensive cars I can't afford either. I've seen them on Twitter and You Tube, and I've filled out the "Build Your Own Tesla" form on their website. The 75 package would fit me best, as it has optional four-wheel drive. Grey sport whels and all-season rubber for me, a Rally Tesla. I'd still want the BBS wheels (red or matte black). Mine would have a matte black front end and a carbon-fiber-patterned rear spoiler. Its cap ends would be Richard Pettty Blue on the left and New York Taxicab Yellow on the right, with matching mirrors and tinted glass. And the good speakers, not that you would ever hear them outside the car. The seatbelts would have Star Fleet badges that cover the blue cladding on the left side and the gold one on  the right. Coordination counts.

If they're out of Teslas at the time in the FantasyMart, then put all of the above features on a 1968 Chevrolet CorvairE, a 4 door with the requisite Tesla running gear. Add a (black) Momo steering wheel. This car would be irridescent Indigo, or Midnight Blue. Same spoiler, mirrors and Recaro seats (tan), but with LED headlights and  a gold Chevy logo instead of the blue ones popular then. This one would have BMW spec mirrors.  Illustrations to follow in the following brain downloads.
