Happy Thanksgiving! Given the way the holidays fell this year and the timing I wanted to hold to for each post, things are coming out just a little earlier than usual. Also, normally I like to wait until Midnight so the weekend, starting Friday morning, holds the next issue of Scarlet Street but having to rely on public wi-fi (I'm in a Starbucks parking lot now) I'd rather just get it done when I can.
Today I completed washing my first load of clothes at a laundromat since leaving Mom's home in early October and was lucky to find a pretty nice place. I was at my favorite Howard Johnsons last evening but just so tired after driving for so long I didn't have it in me to do much online. I'm still tied to cooler climates due to the slow pace of government. (I only got my state license plates today and was thrown when I learned I owed almost another $500 in taxes on the vehicle I purchased. So it will be a rest-stop 'sleep-over' tonight, I'm afraid. That's not the only business still necessary I'm waiting to get done.)
I have experienced some warmer days near 70 degrees, but also many nights in the low 20s. I'm still trying to get further South before too much snow begins to fly and will keep you posted with one more final issue of SS before Christmas. (I'm still promising to 'finish' this blog 'properly' after I 'land' someday.)
Until then, enjoy Scarlet Street #54 as is! If my memory serves, I believe it was almost the final issue but Richard Valley saw to it that we had one more round with the hope of more future issues, but it was not to be. I know this one stirs up wonderful memories for me as it came out before I had one more final trip to Forry Ackerman's Birthday Bash later that year, 2005.
Wishing everyone all the best, always! We'll be in touch and talk when we can!
