not the Hurricane
Us.We have tickets for Myrtle Beach, S.C. on Sept 22. Florence gets there ahead of us. O/night, Florence shifted south - ish and is due to hit a tad N of M.B. But the cone of 'deadliness ' is over 200 miles wide. And then the affected area blooms in a radial pattern of 300 miles.

2 days of Fishing
milder weather and the opportunity
Got us out for an overnighter on the 'bee. Plenty of sun ans stiff wind but few fish. One largemouth bass was close to #5, not me, though.
the food was bonus. Won ton noodle soup for dins. Cha - shu buns ( Chinese buns stuffed w/ chicken / curry and other meat mixtures.
Stuffed croissant ( cheese and egg w/ pickles ).
We eat well on these trips.
Thus, home and bathing in aloe vera
The sun blasted down for both days
I wear collared shirts ( I'm burnt ) the other guys wear T - shirts and they are ........... ?? burnt as well but like toasty critters

T.O. and murders
our numbers are high w/ great consternation
The politicians are on our side ' lets do something '
the quiet voices calling for adequate housing etc are pretty much ignored
Hot summer, short tempers and guns are available
must be

a River runs through it
finished the GGK novel.
The book's title reflects an expression of the culture when they look up and see ' the river of stars ' in the skies.
All in all, an enjoyable read. The constant distrust between the political ' court ' and machinations vs. the straight forward ( mostly )
military culture.
Happy ending. You hope ..... and are given a glimmer of possibilities in the text.
Warm, sultry and summer high time. We are hiding inside.
GGK has one other novel available at the library, thus I'll try and take it out.

" River of Stars "
not mine
I've found an author that has a series of good reads. Like always, I'm way behind the curve, I mean the guy ( and tahts his name too ! ) is on book 13 or some number.
His naame is Guy ( see ) Gavriel Kay. A Canadian author of semi-historical fiction. basically, he does research and makes up everything else.
Far ranging, in geography and time, I would guess he chooses 800 AD to 1600 AD. I'm guessing here.
The first book was ' Last Light of the Sun ', Celtic or northern Britain, and definitely 1200 - 1300 AD. This endeavour caught my attention. Confession. I picked it up at a ' window book exchange ' at the pub. Now, I usually removed and did not return much. But the management was grateful.
The latest ' River of Stars ' occurs in China ( Kitai ) approx 1000 AD ( certainly, pre gunpowder , so far ).
I've heard GGK interviewed on CBC, as if the author and host were old friends. Yes, late to the party
Weather, sees the return of hot and humid.
We fished Friday, pre - Labour Day rush. Fishing was a struggle but the other boat buddy caught 3 to start the day ( largemouth bass ) and eventually, I managed to catch up w/ 2 LM bass that were maybe a tad bigger. Not much
A cool day to start w/ constant breeze til approx 1 PM. The breeze died and almost took us w/ it. We hing on and got off the river w/out sunstroke. Cold beer, revived us ---- and a nap
