A Stray to Botaram updates on Tuesday and Thursday.

Title: A Glimpse of Totality
(Yme continues to muse, the scene shows a landscape with the path she has followed, including the crazy trail she made as she chased the creature that took her frenting rod. The ghosts of other paths are seen as well.)
Yme: When chaos overwhelms our plans, we boggle or wax in anger at the world opposing us. We call it crisis. But it is really the point when falsehoods and idealized visions are ripped from your eye and you get a glimpse of Totality.
The community of Rod Spinners is not present only in one generation of Strasmin. It is spread out over countless cycles before me and cycles yet to come.

A Glimpse of Totality
Posted on March 20, 2026 by JJA

Feeling Aliver…

Posted on January 31, 2013 by JJA
I’ve been largely miserable for the past few months, but some things may be getting better now and not all was as bleak as I feared. Getting out into the fresh air helps a lot.

Since BiggerJ asked, I do have a Paypal account for donations, and there’s a yellow donate button at the bottom of each page. I’m not comfortable with the idea of asking for money at a time when I’m not producing any art, but if you’d like to show your support in this way, please feel free to do so. If you can’t stand Paypal, and many can’t, contact me via the email address in my profile (link also at page bottom) and we can work something else out.

I may not have to mention it, but kind words are always welcome. Thanks to all my readers for their encouraging comments, and to those who are still reading for sticking with me as I work some things out. Botaram will return.

[Also, some site functions (navigation button images and Archive script) are broken at the moment because one of my domains is down. This should be fixed soon.]

Too Much Power…

As of this writing, I am back online in a warm and well-illuminated house. I’d like to thank our neighbors, Laura and Alexis, for sharing the use of their generator during the first few days, and our friends, Betsy and Stefan Burr, for opening their house to us, sharing dinner with us, and lending us their generator in our time of need.

However, it seems that while wrestling with setting up the heavy generator, I dealt my back a blow from which it has yet to recover. I am therefore bedridden for now, and so am postponing the next entry of Botaram to the coming Monday.

Until!

I am at least provisionally in the path of the East Coast hurricane, and have just gotten the hatches reasonably battened. I will be working on Botaram tonight and tomorrow as power and laptop battery permit. Provided that cell coverage remains, I should have the next entry up by tomorrow evening. Until!
