FROM BECKY R. JONES:  Magic Abroad.  #CommissionEarned

 


Zoe O’Brien is very much looking forward to teaching summer school and tracking down fairy tales in Ireland. Her hopes for a quiet, academic summer are squashed when the dolphins tell her there’s something wrong in the Aran Islands, and her students are stalked by a… something before disappearing. There’s also the possibility that the slightly creepy guy at the train station is her father. So much for a quiet research-filled summer!

Now Zoe is in a race to find her students and help stop an invasion of Ireland by creatures out of myth and legend. The amount of magic in Ireland stuns Zoe. Are the ancient gods of Ireland returning to fight their enemies in the middle of her research? And what does the Morrígan want with Zoe?

D*MN IT. I DON’T WANT HIM TO BE RIGHT BUT I SUSPECT HE IS:  Children Must Be Made To Work.

This is one of the many radical experiments of the 20th century that looked good on paper, but seems to be disastrous in the playing out.

Our kids act like the spoiled princelings of former centuries, because that’s exactly how they’re raised.  If you wish for different results, consider different methods.

AGAIN, MUST IT BE THE FORTEAN TIMES?  Going Nuclear.

I HAVE TROUBLE BELIEVING THESE POLLS:  The Veracity of Polls or Is It Really Putin’s Fault?

A visitor driving with us across the country today would wonder why America made its gas pumps of various pieces of what was clearly “I did that” stickers with Biden’s image, one piled on the other, all imperfectly scraped.

So, sure, people believe it’s Putin. That’s why they shout “Let’s go Putin, right?”

Simon Jester is active and the warden is trying to convince us he’s in charge.

SORRY I’VE BEEN AWAY THIS WEEKEND:   Tulkon AAR.
