Two more pictures of Fredericksburg, Virginia, Summer 2017

The first is a terrible picture, of course; it was taken from a moving car.  I’m sharing it here anyway, because I still like the effect of the backlit entrance to the Confederate Cemetery at dusk.

The second photo is of houses on Amelia Street.

Best. Satan. EVER.

I just shared this on Facebook.  It’s Mystery Science Theater 3000’s treatment of a 50’s-era training short, “Out of This World.”

 

I was going going through my camera and I found this AMAZING eclipse picture …

You can see the ominous great sable shape of the moon as it slowly encroaches waiiiiiiiiiiiiiitaminute that’s my giant white nerd head about to obscure the sun.  Sorry.

(You can tell by the glasses.)

How about a free time travel horror story?

Hey, guys — if you liked my nanotechnology horror story that was published by The Bees Are Dead on Monday, then you might also enjoy my time-travel horror story, “Shine Now, Fiercely, Forever.”

It was featured by B.A.D. back in January, and it’s an important public service announcement about why you should never set foot inside a time machine.

You can find it at the link below:

“Shine Now, Fiercely, Forever”

Check out R.J. Davey’s poetry at his website.

My good friend and colleague R.J. Davey has created a website over at Tumblr to showcase his poetry, and I recommend that you peruse it:

R.J. Davey

The two poems that you can find there that I particularly enjoy are “Pre-Dawn” and “The Poet.”  I discovered them tonight, and I honestly think that they’re among Reg’s best.
