You might ask...WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON RIGHT NOW? "Fairy Tones" is a continuation of a story I had in Cast of Wonders a decade ago called "Fairie Bones" (read it here if you want to. (The new story returns a few years later, with the main character in college, his grandmother gone, a young cousin his temporary ward...and a deadly problem for the fairies: they're dying...) Listen to or read the original here: https://www.castofwonders.org/2015/11/episode-181-fairy-bones-by-guy-stewart/ (The new story, "Fairy Tones", will be submitted in September.) I've stopped working on "Salvation Writ In Stainless Steel" because the story is trying to cover TOO MUCH STUFF. The idea of artificial intelligence, robots, and androids remaining "things" has been explored for years. But what about their spirits? Do they have them? If their minds are based on how OURS operate (and we are descendants of fallen Adam and Eve)...would they need to be saved, too? COULD they? I'm going to write new stories exploring this question in the form of PARABLES...
MINING THE ASTEROIDS Part 31: “SAVE the Asteroids! Environmental Activism Against the Exploitation of Solar Asteroids!”
Initially, I started this series because of the 2021 World Science Fiction Convention. As time passed, I knew that this was a subject I was going to explore because it interests me…
As with any new technology, once Humans move to exploit that tech, there WILL be effects. Newton’s Second Law is inescapable: “Newton’s third law simply states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, if object A acts a force upon object B, then object B will exert an opposite yet equal force upon object A.”
While Newton was talking about physical objects acting on each other, it’s fairly straightforward to apply the principle to something like mining the asteroids.
FIRST is the most obvious and is, in fact, a result of the physical aspect of NFL (not the National Football League, which is, as we all know, a Force unto itself…) – when we start blowing up asteroids, or even creating explosions inside of them, their motion will change.

Current Event: http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/31105/cold-spots-glensheen-mansion My daughter and I were talking about camping today. A few days ago, I had scribbled a question a few days ago: “Are there English-type mansions in Minnesota?”
DIABETES GUY’S GOTTA TALK ABOUT…TYPE 2 DIABETES #32: Taking Ozempic…after LOTS OF RESISTANCE…I MAY take a pause and write about Breast Cancer or Alzheimer’s as medical headlines dictate; but this time I’m going to drag anyone along who wants to join my HIGHLY RELUCTANT journey toward better understanding of my life with Type 2 Diabetes. You’re Welcome to join me!
You’re SO lucky you’re not my wife…I’ve ranted against Ozempic pretty much ever since it first appeared. First, I thought it was a lazy way to deal with the necessary measures a person had to take to change their lives and get healthier and deal with the new information about the deadly results of just letting it run its course.
