Watched an L Taraval driver stop the train and remove a wayward Christmas tree from the tracks. #kingtides #sfsky #stormofthecentury

Book cover: Destiny's Way by Jack Campbell.
While I hated the first book ending on a cliffhanger, I'm loving how this 2nd explores how we change the world, history, and other people by being what we want the world to become. #WhatImReading #BookSky 💙📚 #SFSky

Yesterday, I started reading Michael Hiltzik's book Golden State: The Making of California. While reading it, it has me thinking:
What are some places in California that you would like to (re)visit?
Los Angeles? San Francisco? San Diego?

New issue of Space and Time is out with my essay on the original "Planet of the Apes."

If you had a few days in San Francisco, what would you do/see? (I've been there, but my last visit was ten years ago.) #TravelSky #SFSky
#BookSky #SFSky #DuneSky now is the time to subject you to my rambling thoughts for a Dune (original six books) sequel!
SO I think the central mysteries of the Dune-iverse have always been:
Why, on this alien planet, is there a spice that interacts so profoundly with humans?
And
What is the endgoal
1875 Chart depicting San Francisco. Source: https://www.loc.gov/item/75693102/
1929 Map of Los Angeles depicting the city as it appeared in 1871. Source: https://www.loc.gov/item/75690623/
I found these maps of San Francisco and Los Angeles depicting how they looked during the 1870s.
What are some things that intrigue you about these images?
Personally, I find it interesting how much more dense and urban San Francisco was than the agarian Los Angeles. #California #LASky #SFSky
I'm reading #Exodus by #PeterFHamilton and it's really good. #SciFi #SciFiSky #SFSky
I know nothing dates faster than the future, but there's something charmingly retro about science fiction where a "full-scale" nuclear war isn't an extinction level event. Like coming across a street scene where all the men are wearing hats and waistcoats.
