‘Fire season is here,’ Gov. Kotek declares May Wildfire Awareness Month, state prepares

Finished: Doorways in the Sand, by Roger Zelazny 📚. Another relatively minor Zelazny work, perhaps most notable for the protagonist Fred Cassidy, perpetual college student and climber of buildings. It’s also a bit of an interstellar mystery written with humor.

Suckers are more frequent than one per minute these days. And the President and his minions are fleecing them. The whole crypto “industry” is a disgusting scam. Adds no value, creates nothing, wastes energy, and transfers wealth from poor to rapacious rich.
