I keep forgetting to mention that, in addition to the other bits of writing news of last month, I also sold poems to Goblin Fruit and Tales of the Talisman.
Impressive stunts. Most of these make me think "impressive athletic expertise," but a couple make me wince at the stupidity. (via)
"On October 26th, a hole was blasted in the base of 125' tall Condit Dam on the White Salmon River in Washington. In less than 2 hours, the reservoir behind the dam drained completely and the White Salmon flowed unimpeded by a dam for the first time in 100 years." The event was captured in a video of the initial explosion and time-lapse of the draining. The effects of the downstream flooding isn't covered. (via)
