    I’m glad you got the power back, my friend! Even more, I’m grateful you and your family are safe. I’ll be keen to find out what you make of Skypiea. Our episode of DDF will be out on Thursday - I had a blast chatting with you, Mike!

    Glad you are all safe and powered. I lived in Florida about 20 years ago and spent 2 weeks in summer without power because of a hurricane. Not fun without AC in August in Florida! The only reason I bought and read the last few of my Stephen King books was because of Holly. Love that character.😂 A lot of his other stuff is just so-so (11/22/63 excluded).

    We lost power during the wild snowstorm here in Texas for 2 weeks - small town, though, so the volunteer firefighters brought water and neighbors helped with anything we needed. What was interesting was having to charge my insulin pump and phone in the car!

    Speaking of natural disasters in Texas, you may take an interest in Sean Stewart’s fantasies about Texas, specifically Mockingbird (which I had a mixed experience with, but mostly like) and Galveston, which is miraculous. The latter was inspired by the 1904 hurricane that submerged Galveston and so he sets it in a version of Texas where Galveston was submerged in a defund flood in 2004, this one of magic.

    That's great you and yours are ok! It is definitely an experience being without power and internet. Really makes me notice how much I overuse them. Read Thrawn this week at the request of my 13-year-old nephew, and enjoyed it more than I thought I would (not much of a Star Wars fan). But I now think Thrawn should rule the galaxy.
