  • After growing up mostly in the Colorado mountains, and even later in the more suburban areas, but still near enough to the mountains, lynx and cougar calls are strange and loud as shit. They scared the jeebs out of child-me in the dark nothing. Cool as hell, though, once you know what they are. Loud ass kitties, echoing for miles.




  • Yes. I suggest Asimov’s recommended reading order, from I, Robot through Foundation and Earth, including the Empire trilogy. Keep in mind some were written decades apart, regardless of series chronology, so the tone may shift due to the era written and Asimov’s growth as a writer, which can be jarring for a couple pages (primarily getting to the Empire novels, but still great little stories, and I enjoyed the continued lore).

    As an avid reader, particularly sci-fi, it’s my very favorite series, from start to finish, and I’d recommend it to anyone - personally, Foundation itself might be my least liked of the group, though that may be for it being a collection of stories put together from the magazines, I found it mildly disjointed, (and I have a tendency to confuse certain character names in that one, haha), but I appreciated it more when my spouse listened to them all on audiobook (PS. Scott Brick is a wonderful Asimov narrator).

    Regardless of which, and how you may read them, I hope you enjoy them!


  • It’s even better than I thought it would be.

    I’m transported to younger years, and new discoveries. I’m reminded of yonder goth college days, on the way to school in midwest winters, with a cheeky cig, loud music, so much eyeliner, too much caffeine, and too many classes, pretending I could handle it all with carrot juice and various earthen derived, uh, experiments. Actually miss those days, in comparison, except the partner. Much better co-goblin, now.

    I really, really appreciate this find, thanks for sharing! ☺️
