Reading sci fi, dystopian and ancient Viking history. thinking about Simon the Fiddler and taking notes. Recommended;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dystopian; although it seems a little pat with the usual evil Christian women-oppressing villains. It’s always Christian, never any other religion, for instance; Zoroastrians or Buddhists. But so it goes; more later on whether the villains are worthy of their calling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was edited by Ray Bradbury in 1956, a series of short stories that had appeared in Harper’s<\/em> and The New Yorker<\/em>, because at that time science fiction\/dystopian had not been relegated to a genre. A good story was a good story. A fact which I find supremely interesting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dystopian. Tough guy beats up bad guys and only gets away with it because the society falls apart. Changes mid-stride between dystopian to post-apocalyptic. Long, lush and graphic. This time the usual villains are oppressive government heavies but the villains are worthy of their hire and even occasionally weep.<\/p>\n

And so sometimes it seems EVERYTHING gets in the way of your time to write…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We had an inch of rain over two days so it all soaked in, wonderful!! And a new saddle for Buck and I am looking for another horse and learned On Eagles Wings on the C whistle. It’s not really a tin whistle song, but I bore up. Diane on piano. Tom our fiddler showed up all spruce and his wife Lou with a determined look on her\u00a0face which means she wrestled him down and into a new freshly ironed shirt whether he liked it or not.<\/p>\n
