There is a rhythm to life out on the Prairies of North America. It’s set by Mother Nature and is absolute without dialogue. Life in this land revolves around the change of seasons and the bounty the earth produces as it moves through the annual growing cycle. Even those not involved directly with agriculture are found to work and recreate to the rhythm set by nature. Those who have been raised in a seasonal environment understand and accept such things and enjoy the variety for all its’s offerings, and shortcomings.
Its time to tidy up the harvest mess and get things organized for the next year. Set budgetary plans for the new year, examine equipment to be replaced, plan the crops and decide about outrageous prices for fertilizer.
Business not related to agriculture are not so different as it is also budget time for the next year, what do we have to do to keep things moving, what plans are optional based around the best guess regarding 2023 and the economy.
Let’s not forget Halloween, the children know nothing of adult budgets nor do they give a care. Free candy, costumes and going door to door with friends is where it’s at. Absolutely right too, enjoy your Halloween and leave the fussing and worrying to the grownups!
For the month of November 2022 I will be offering my book ARMAGEDDON OF CASCADIA free on November 12th and 13th. This book is a dystopian look at a group of regular folks and how they managed to survive after a series of natural disasters.
I have received a considerable amount of feedback on this book predominantly from folks who live in the affected area or have family that do. Some express appreciation for the vivid events and for raising the awareness of the risks particular to that area. Others are just plain upset; perhaps they are real estate folks or business owners who don’t want to see the risks and inevitable outcome. Others attempt to argue by dismissing the facts and research by professionals of the USGS. So you as a reader will need to decide on the value of the book. Perhaps some readers will elect to move closer to the area where they can watch the events unfold.
Read, enjoy and ponder on the fragile, curious state of humanity.
Keep an eye to the future, drone, droid and replicant exploration of new worlds. Quantum tunneling, remote host populating, replacement of physical bodies as ours deteriorate. All things are possible and probable at THE LAUNCHPAD.
For ACTION, CRIME, & THRILLER be sure to visit here and browse for free giveaways and previews.
The cost of our personal freedom is not cheap and I know you will join me in attending Remembrance Day Services on November 11th honoring our Veterans and our brave men and women who volunteer to “stand in harm’s way” to ensure continued freedoms.
“Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few!”
Please show your support on Remembrance Day and always!
Best
