I can't even do it when I scribe the number VI in the air. And just the fact that I tried is kind of sad.

Peter Watts and I just received a short story rejection from an obviously overloaded and therefore delayed market. The dim background picture on the page is of a girl giving the reader the finger. Supposed to show they have "edge," I guess, but I have to say that and the time they took won't entice either of us to bother with them again.
But that's the end of my bitching, since I've seen a tiny fraction of the crap that Teresa gets to see.

Somewhere my Jessop friend has an old Life magazine with a photo spread of his grandfather and a whole swack of wives. And I remember him telling me that they set the town on the border so that they could all hide on one side and whatever state police were doing the raiding couldn't touch them.

A friend's grandfather (a Jessop, of which there were plenty) was in Short Creek when it was raided. He never knew the man, since his dad and all the siblings jumped ship pretty early, I think.
Note that the governor then lost his re-election bid, and you'll find one reason for the shyness. Also, the whole Waco thing runs deep in that territory, which is why they've used things like welfare fraud to go after these guys.
