Wednesday

Where did winter go? It's a beautiful 72 degrees (22.2 degrees Celsius).

Rage-inducing chapter last night in Moment in the Sun, all about the 1898 Wilmington Insurrection, in Wilmington, North Carolina. Go ahead, read about it. Watch the Democrats behave abominably and overthrow the legitimately-elected government. Seethe as a Republican President does absolutely nothing about it. Groan as black citizens get screwed over yet again. What a horror show. :-(

"We were cast-iron back in those days."

Ye gods, I'd forgotten all about the Magic Drabble Generator until I was reminded tonight. Here's a sample:

A Passionate Day To Bounce

Wilson stepped curtly out into the spiffy sunshine, and admired House's leg. "Ah," he sighed, "That's a shiny sight."

House climbed off the paprika and walked wildly across the grass to greet his lover. Wilson patted House on the eye and then tried to bounce him dreamily, but without success.

"That's all right," House said. "We can try again later."

"I'm just not clever," said Wilson. "Not as clever as the time we bounced above the clouds."

House nodded heartily. "We were cast-iron back in those days."

"Our ears were younger, and we had a lot more fun with them," Wilson said. "Everything seems tasty and blue when you're young."

"Of course," House said. "But now we're pickled, we can still have fun. If we go about it happily."

"Happily?" Wilson said . "But how?"

"With this," House said and held out a splendid horse. "Just take that with some water and in half an hour, you'll be ready to bounce."

Wilson swallowed the horse at once and sure enough, in half an hour, they were able to bounce happily. They bounced like a flash of the setting sun. Three times.

And then the neighbour told them to get off his lawn.
