As an example of how difficult it is to find time for writing (This is Writing Made Hard, afterall) I finally made it back home from New Orleans, way behind on getting the proposal for Hypnosis and ESP, now called Paranormal Hypnosis, ready to send to an agent, only to find that in my absence, the wind had blown my antenna tower (50 feet high) over onto the roof of my house causing quite a bit of damage that I have to get fixed before returning to NEw Orleans this week-end. The damage could cause the the roof to leak when it rains and of course it has been raining steadily much of the time making it difficult to get work done on the roof. Anyway, I have a guy coming out this afternoon to check the roof and give me an estimate and I am leaving on Saturday Morning. Don't know how that will work out. In the mean time I still don't have Paranormal Hypnosis off to the agent, but I do have it ready to print out, finally. I still have to write a cover letter and a proposal, though, and that could take a long time the way I'm going.
In other news, some illegal aliens were arrested trying to buy automatic weapons so they could kill American soldiers in the U.S. So much for the idea that illegals are just Mexican workers trying to make a living doing things we won't do. My solution is simple and makes sense, so probably won't get any traction. I suggest that the first thing to do is close the border so that when illegals are deported, they don't come back illegally. Then deport illegals as they are discovered. You don't have to go out looking for them, but when they are discoverd, they should be deported. Also, make it impossible for them to get jobs here so they will have no reason to keep coming. Finally, (and it should be the last thing done), come up with a guest worker program that people can use to come here legally for work. Those who have come here illegally, should have to return home and apply for the guest worker program. No road to citizenship, no amnesty. Just obey the law. Simple.
