Monday September 2, 2013 Labor Day
I've been looking through the stuff thrown out by U of M students moving
out. Today, got into conversation with a woman from outside the
neighborhood. The stuff she didn't want to keep, she would donate for
her church's sale.
I asked what church that was.
"Holy Cable."
Not a very traditional name for a church, I observed.
"It's not a very traditional church."
***The lone contrivance in my first book, “Faces of the Gone,” was that I
had the protagonist dating the city editor, a hot brunette — and any
journalist could tell you there has never been a hot city editor, male or
female, in newspaper history.

Tuesday September 2, 2013 Idea: Rural American werewolves known to
their neighbors, and more or less getting along with them. If they
didn't attack humans or domestic animals, people wouldn't be too
concerned about them hunting game.
They wouldn't be entirely respectable, of course.
***The Minnesota Daily (U of M student paper) is being published again.
I wish it was actually published daily, all year around. I consider it a
better paper than the Star Tribune and the Pioneer Press; and it's a good
source of news about the area where I now live.
***Shopped at the Wedge Coop.
