Web Log for 1.15.25

Such as it was. The Internet was down for most of the day...

Book 

Since I'm not the Cthulhu type, but since I know this writer from a few different forums and like her as a person...drumroll...Here is a new Cthulhu Mythos novel all fans of the subgenre must read.


Here's another link to where you can buy the book...not Amazon. This is a book by a woman who works with sharks; the title is Sharks Don't Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Shark Scientist.


Butterflies, Save the 

Monarch butterflies do holiday sleepovers in style...


We need to protect them. They are among the most harmless, cheerful, lovable creatures on Earth. The rules are being written by the Fish & Wildlife Service; see the docket and add your comments at


Here's my comment: 

"
I strongly support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposal to protect the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) as a threatened species and designate critical habitat under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Monarch butterflies are very congenial with humans, so only a few minor changes need to be made to protect them! They are compatible with human residence, even with construction, and even with agriculture, so long as their habitat is not destroyed by "pesticide" spraying. Please finalize this rule, this summer if possible, and add this species to the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife.

California 

All I know is that all the gold in California is in a bank in the middle o' Beverly Hills, in somebody else's name. I only report these things. 


Gossip 

Mrs. Obama is bailing out of important ex-First-Lady social engagements. Does that mean trouble in the Obama marriage? Meh. She's old enough to have gone through The Change but she does look awfully tired. Almost as if photographed in the middle of her first experience of actually noticing when she has COVID, or something. Poor. Old. Dear.
