Flypaper thoughts somewhere in Arkansas version

• First thing big thank you for all who supported me doing more writing here
• Means a lot
• Mostly still going to be writing about sewing because mostly do a lot of sewing
• I have some ideas for novels but have a lot of projects to get done first
• So I will share some concepts and maybe you can write it up
• Open source plots
• Thing you have to know is all of these are true
• Do not know how someone writes a whole book of made up stuff
• When real life is so dense with the unbelievable
• Idea for murder mystery one:
• A history professor notices an odd smell in his office
• Calls building maintenance
• They unscrew the air vent in the wall
• There, upside down, and considerable dehydrated
• Is long time missing university person
• Upside down and looking back at them
• Well sort of
• Verdict that the mummified individual
• Was a suicide
• Who had gone up onto the roof and done themselves in by throwing themselves down the air vent
• Which narrowed six floors down at the history department
• Personally I would have considered other scenarios
• And did at the time
• But second year students
• Are rarely called in for forensic consults
• Now teaching second year students
• I can see the point
• But still
• Maybe I better space out the plots between posts
• There is only so much reality we can all cope with
• Going home from a really wonderful visit with my stateside family
• Back to where I understand they had more snow today
• But there is always something relaxing about going back to Nova Scotia
• A place that runs on favours
• To the point you run your life counting on it
• However unreasonable this is as a life tactic
• Example
• Found a cool sewing thing on our equivalent of Craiglist today
• From a part of the province long way from me
• On a whim I messaged and said
• I am in an RV in Arkansas but my niece works in a hospital near you
• Well my niece works there too she said
• Of course she does
• I haven’t actually seen what’s she’s selling and she hasn’t seen the money
• But it is niece guaranteed
• Done
• Tulsa is a nice town too
• Quietest city I have ever been in
• And who knew it was a masterpiece of Art Deco architecture?
• Do they film movies there?
• They should
• Wonderful experience teaching at the Vintage Sewing adventure
• One lady, I am talking about you Marilyn Sweet, drove 400 miles to meet up
• We could have talked all day
• The people sewing has introduced me to are everything that matters
• And the Vintage Sewing Museum made a big impression on me too
• More than the David in Florence (looked to me like a kid)
• And the British museum
• Which has a pretty nice collection for sure
• But really
• The Vintage Sewing Museum has a whole wall of only blue machines
• And shelves of blue fabric to test sew
• And Miles Davis playing the blues right there too
• I mean really
• How can you compete with that?
• Once I am off this Arkansas highway and can download all my pictures
• I am going to show it to you
• Prepared to be amazed
• Some of those machines are bigger than you think
