Mysteries in the Strangest Places

8/31/2015

Common little things can become mysterious and alien if given the proper circumstances. For instance on scene in a popular sci-fi show nearly set my mother's blood on fire one night. It was the same actress who played a mom, brushing the hair of the same actress who played the daughter every other night. It was on the surface a common little domestic scene of the sort that gave the show its power. But the plot had been twisted and now is was dark and ominous. 
The above are very common root parasites that had stood beside a heavily used dirt road and got a little strange looking.

And Then Came the Rain

On the one hand the forest was in desperate need of this fire and has been for over a hundred years. On the other it closed the one road I really needed open, on the one day in four years I needed it. On the other hand the whole situation provided much needed data for resource management agencies in both the public and private sectors. On the other hand what kind of mutant has that many hands?
As well, the rain has come and the largest fire in the history of Crater Lake National Park is finally facing its end.

Clear Writing

Obviously being able to express an idea clearly and accurately in the written form is important for an author. Also not surprisingly this comes in handy in other areas of life. For instance: when a large and famous global mailing company writes out the instructions for affixing shipping labels to boxes they should really make sure that said instructions make sense. 
My crew lead handed me a sheet of stickers with instructions on them with a puzzled look on her face. I was skeptical that my own ability to understand paperwork would exceed her own and to no one's surprise the very specific instructions made no sense to me. I ended up calling the central office of the shipping company and the voice on the other end of the line sounded just as confused, but she did tell me where to put the stickers.
Be short, be clear, and for goodness sake proof read.

I met and saw more than a few famous people at Sasquan but my favorite was meeting Kaja Foglio and daughter at their table. I played a fun card game with the little one and shook Kaja's hand. Meant to buy something but forgot. :)

My last day at Sasquan was a lot of fun. The good costumes were plentiful and there were a few "interesting" ones. I sold two on hand copy books total and got a lot of interest. Meanwhile the booth next to me sold a poetry book to a young press member in a bikini.
