I have noted in previous entries that I have gotten back into writing since my Mom died. Well, I just received notification from Raconteur Press that one my short stories has been accepted for publication in their upcoming Space Cowboys 404–Cow Not Found Anthology. This will be my first published story since I have gotten back into the game, and my second time appearing in an anthology. This is rather cool if I say so myself, and I look forward to the anthology coming out in the near future. Maybe you all can get a Christmas present for yourself. 😉

The Roderan spend most of their time being neutral to the other great powers. They live on worlds that few others want, they fly through space that others avoid, and generally do their best to just not become involved in the affairs of others. The War dragged them in, to the profound disappointment of most of their people. But they fought with a cold professionalism that left no doubt as to the fact that enemy ships were not tolerated in territory they defended. They did not win every battle, but they won most, and they always left their mark on any battle they joined. They were hardy opponents and respected by all. It did not take long for the Western Alliance to make it a policy to try to avoid fighting them whenever possible.

Democrat Policies

Closed schools, businesses, and churches. Opened borders. Stopped drilling for oil. Bidenomics Required jab or lost jobs. Men competing with women in women’s sports. Turning boys into girls, girls into boys, and taking children from their parents. Raiding the houses of, and then jailing and prosecuting political enemies. Calling Trump voters and Christians more dangerous extremists and terrorists than Hamas. Surrendering Afghanistan to the Taliban. Funding Iran which funds Hamas which murders Jews. Teaching college kids to support Hamas raping, killing, and beheading Jews. It matters not who the figurehead atop the Democrat party is. These are Democrat Party policies, and whoever they elect next will drive them and more in the future. Do Not Forget.

Final Fantasy

I grew up playing the Final Fantasy games, and they were the bars I measured other games by for years. So when the sequel to Final Fantasy III came out as Final Fantasy VII on this new system called a Playstation, I bought a Playstation so I could play the new Final Fantasy. I would later buy a Playstation 2, and discovered many more good RPGs from Japan through that medium. But I bought mostly Nintendo consoles and the Xboxes, because my gaming became more social than single-player. But this weekend I wanted to play the Final Fantasy VII Remake that I have seen so much of lately, and so I bought a Playstation 4. Once again, 25 years later, I bought a console and a single game to play on it. Final Fantasy VII.

The Roderan know the universe is a cold and harsh mistress, but they love to boast about how good it has been to them over a drink or ten. Two or more will often compete with each other over who has had a better life, generally boasting to such levels that the onlookers howl with laughter at the ludicrous claims. And the spectators are expected to join in with well-placed corrections to the record to keep the competitors from getting too big a head. The contests usually end when even the participants can no longer keep straight faces, or when one of them actually starts to believe what is being said. That is a sure sign that they have drunk too much and can no longer see the universe for the cold and heartless mistress she is.
