Now I don't remember what the topic for this week was...she wrote it down somewhere...hold on...*shuffling sounds of various papers*...AH! Found IT!!! So without further ado...

I have to deal with abysmal cold weather from November to March, FIVE Months of Agony.

Living in the Northern US Sucks.

Been watching the weather patterns, something I've done for 35 years and gotten REALLY good at predicting seasonal trends.

One clue is Alaska. If Alaska gets a massive cold streak in Nov, it usually means FRIGID waves of air pouring down into the lower 48 States starting in December.

Anchorage, AK's usual high at this time of year is 26F. The average low is15F.

Do our ponies and other intelligent species, especially those who live in the world’s northern and southern temperate zones, grow warm winter coats during the fall and then during the spring shedding seasons thin their coats in anticipation of the hot days of summer?

You may ask me how that fact of life could be used in our fan fiction.

Mare who is talking to her stallion husband around the month of November: “Honey, does my winter coat make me look fat?”

I'll be brief about this one and not avoid spoilers, because there's nothing to avoid spoilers about. It's a slice of life piece with nothing much to show story-wise for the 45m runtime. It's kinda equivalent to Rainbow Roadtrip but with en even flatter plot and no Kerfuffle. A trip, forced problems and conflict.
Still, it's worth a watch, because TLDR is - what was bad before is still bad, what was good is still good.

So, here goes the positives and negatives:

Hi, all. So, long story short, the fall semester is coming to an end at my college. This means I have a whole month with lots of free time for writing. Expect a general increase in my writing output. I'm going to finish up In the Clouds, and then begin work on another short multi-chapter fic. Oh, also convert my latest piece of original fiction (the last one from that creative writing class) into horsewords. I'm not sure if it fits the tone of MLP very well, but AUs and darkfics are

For Labor Day, I just want to take a moment to commemorate the heroes of the labor movement who fought to give us the 40 hour work week, the weekend, safer work conditions, and protection from child exploitation in the workplace.

I'm posting this during the tiny window of internet access that I currently have, and speaking of internet, it's been literally down all freakin' day.

Way to go, Comcast.

FREAKIN' DIE ALREADY, COMCAST.

I really wanted to dedicate my free time on getting an update to my only in-progress Sonic story over on Fanfiction.net and DeviantArt. Those readers have normally gone months between updates, instead of weeks for my MLP content. There's only one more chapter to go, and I'm hoping to get the conclusion out before the end of the year, since this is a story I started back in 2021.

Along the great conjunction of the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn tonight, an event that will not reappens until 2080!

We lives different days now.... What will happens the next days...

As per usual with me, I got a commission at Bronycon this year.

Extended writing schedule! ^_^

It's time to bring things into overdrive... I think.

This video just went up, I think some of you might get a kick out of it,

Might give you some ideas as well.

Unrelated to the upcoming holiday, tomorrow is a new Crackshipping & You post!

Hope your shopping is done.

I finished writing up the next update. It is not the longest as the past chapters, but please fear not. I have a plan for things, so keep the faith. Right now just waiting for it to be edited and fix anything that needs fixing. So be ready for the next update soon.

After Groundhog's day, the remaining six weeks of Natural Winter... I call it "WINTER'S PRIME"

I call it that because, for some increasingly insane reason, at this time of year it snows the hardest and is the absolute coldest it can possibly get all season! And for the past few years, Springtime has been horribly delayed (In 2018, Spring practically never came)

We called that SPRINTER, (It's supposed to be Springtime, but it's still freezing and snowing when it SHOULDN'T BE) UGH!!!

Howdy everyone; been awhile, huh? Just thought I'd put in an update to let you know that I'm still around, doing my thang, and some other thangs. Tomorrow is the start of the year's final month, where winter descends and we snuggle up for the cold times. I just got back from a busy day of work and am looking forward to a night's relaxation. So with a glass of wine, a humble bowl of warm green beans, and a newly-bought Nintendo 2DS and Pokemon UltraMoon, I would like to make a toast to all of

I love how geeky the Seattle area is.

At this time of year, there is a tradition of planetarium shows about possible astronomical explanations for the story of the Star of Bethlehem, which guided the Magi to the baby Jesus. Scholars have been pondering this for centuries. It’s a fun question to ponder as it mixes biblical scripture, history, astrophysics, and lets us talk about comets, novae, supernovae, planetary conjunctions, along with ancient astronomy from many cultures. See for example
