The town where it's illegal to drink (too much coffee) and drive

There's a town (in my mind, anyway) where you're not supposed to drive with too much, well, blood caffeine. Tish, a driver with a large sense of entitlement and an even larger amount of coffee in her system, finds this out when she's pulled over for speeding.

She also finds out that the law was passed after an angry protest by victims of bureacracy, buzzed on coffee.

Seeing things in a new light

Lina, a widow with wishful tendencies, stars in the next story. I had to make her a widow, because if her husband were alive, she wouldn't be able to stop herself from telling him about the fascinating predictions she's read from some scientist on the Internet. But since he's gone, she's surrounded by younger people -- sons, a daughter-in-law, and a couple of homestay students -- and she knows they'd be skeptical.

Dr. Harcus tells his audience that the earth is about to experience a cosmic event that will boost the quality of its light -- and everyone's quality of life -- permanently.

It's all supposed to happen by the last new moon of the year . . .

Back, with Bristles

Next  . . . (I know it's been a long time between posts; I got dissatisfied with starting everything on Pinterest and automating it onto other platforms. I was also too lazy to do it any other way. Was. I hope.)

Anyway, next in the book is Bristle Babies, the story of  two schoolgirls who have a day off when their parents don't, and who happen to live near a lake reportedly teeming with legendary creatures. It also involves dozens of expired Twinkies.
