So the only two times I’ve run across the term “corn sweat” have been in the last week or so. And both times the subtext has been “y’know, ‘corn sweat’. Everybody knows about ‘corn sweat’”

Am I being Berenstain Beared?

Hrrrrng!

Man! The seats in this reading nook are really low.

Risky click of the day…

Was it antimony? Arsenic? Aluminum? Selenium?

I finished Throne of Jade by Naomi Novik. I liked her standalones, and decided to try one of her series. (Her new standalone The Summer War is coming out in September!). It’s an interesting second book, because it pulls back on a he military focus/stakes of the first book and becomes a diplomatic intrigue with personal stakes while still keeping the fish-out-of-water/curiosity themes. And it still manages to slip in a few dragon fights and action scenes as gripping, if not more so, than in first.

Then I picked up Wild Seed by Octavia Butler. Very different vibe. Good so far.

Haha. There might be a lag in federation between instances.

I thought that might be the case so I googled a handful of states and they were all Departments of Human Services

The fact CPS is part of the Department of Human Resources seems about on par for Alabama
