Any new literary projects, Bob? I have missed the interplanetary voyages, though I can say that I've become homesick whilst being home.

Sionnsar has the new September thread ready to go, right?

Does this thread weigh 20 pounds or thirty pounds?

No, candidates are still being accepted (the Admin Gods have been leaving me choices this month) but preparations are on the ToDo list for the afternoon.

"Any new literary projects, Bob? I have missed the interplanetary voyages, though I can say that I've become homesick whilst being home."

I've been considering posting a tale of a short journey to an asteroid, in search of raw materials, and what it would entail in the form of personal sacrifice and privations.

More and more, such stories remind me of the diary of Robinson Crusoe.

I've also thought about describing the mining and exploration of our captured asteroid, and what it could mean to our overall structure and capabilities.

Then again, a review of the layout would be of service to our more recent arrivals. Most of them don't know where in space we are.

You might even want to join in. The Habitats A and B are open to entrepreneurship. Many people have set up shops there for handmade items and small restaurants. A good interhabitatnet café would be a charming way to entertain the rest of us. I'd have to warn you that the selections of coffee beans is pretty limited, since we have to grow our own, but spices of all kands abound for adulterating various types of beverages.

Cheese and wine are also possibilities. We have a lot of time on our hands; it takes four years to make an orbit out here.
