      Do I dare disturb the universe? – (TS Elliot) quoted by The Mastermind Timecaster by Joe Kimball, a self described Eco-punk novel set in a green utopean future, promises all the thrills, violence, sex, and groin punches that you probably wouldn’t expect in that setting.

Its lanky body was clad in a skintight white scaly suit that glittered in the dim light of the single guttering gas lamp. Something circular glowed on its […]

No, this is not a cross post with the Booze Nerd. I’m talking about drinking plain old water. With the warm summer months upon most of us, it’s a great time to discuss the importance of drinking water. When I was a kid, I used to hate it when I asked for something to drink […]
