Went up the trail to Mulholland with Niven and Sable. Productive hike, discussed the book with the working title of Lucifer\u2019s Anvil \u2013 that won\u2019t be the published title I think \u2013 including just what we are trying to accomplish. The story is not hard but the way of presentation is difficult; there will be a lot of tell, not show, and the telling will be interesting only if those telling it are. Very productive discussion. Went to lunch afterwards, took a nap, and worked on the book, pretty well using up all my energy.<\/p>\n<p>It was a good day.<\/p>\n<p>Not such a good day for the market or the rest of the world. I\u2019ll have some notes on that in mail.<\/p>\n<p>I note that the Federal government managed to put together a raid on an organic food outfit that sells only to selected customers who know precisely what they are buying, and dumped 800 gallons of raw milk that no one claimed was contaminated: but it wasn\u2019t licensed. Your Deficit Dollars at work. We had to borrow money from the Chinese to protect you from that raw milk and all those vegetables.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jerrypournelle.com\/chaosmanor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/clip_image00230.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"clip_image002\" border=\"0\" alt=\"clip_image002\" src=\"http:\/\/jerrypournelle.com\/chaosmanor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/clip_image002_thumb10.gif\" width=\"240\" height=\"8\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jerrypournelle.com\/chaosmanor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/clip_image0043.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"clip_image004\" border=\"0\" alt=\"clip_image004\" src=\"http:\/\/jerrypournelle.com\/chaosmanor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/clip_image004_thumb3.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"6\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/jerrypournelle.com\/chaosmanor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/clip_image002113.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"clip_image002[1]\" border=\"0\" alt=\"clip_image002[1]\" src=\"http:\/\/jerrypournelle.com\/chaosmanor\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/clip_image0021_thumb8.gif\" width=\"240\" height=\"8\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View 687 Wednesday, August 10, 2011 Productive day, but not for this site.
