Old Dave: Blog

Thanks to some fellow SOL readers who told me Depression Soup is here on SOL. Look for author Wordy Tom.

We have a whole bunch of great stories by some generous writers here at a Stories on Line.

Over at the sister site, Fine Stories, I ran across a great tale, Depression Soup by TC Allen. Story of an Oklahoma farm boy's life during the great depression and dust bowl era. This gives a powerful look at a different life here in America.

No sex or bad language so it would be fitting for parents as well as kids or grandkids.

Just in case some of you missed Starfleet's post, Book 3 is available on Bookapy. So, you ask "Why should I spend $5.99 when I can just wait and read it for free?"

First, buy the book. Writers deserve something for the great stories they have posted and the entertainment they have provided.

Second, the continuity. No more having to stop an think, ok, where was I and who is that?

Third, be as creative as Carl and come up with your own reason.

I spent the weekend in Charlotte N.C. with a family reunion. Driving home, I passed several signs pointing the way to the Charlotte airport. Have I spent too much time on the internet? For some reason, signs pointing the way to CLT did not make me think of an airport!
But then again, many a young man could use a sign pointing to the Clit! Maybe a public service for you ladies.

So asked the California Governor yesterday after the San Jose shooting. I've lost track of the number of people killed and the number of times someone went crazy with a gun.

O.K. I've got the next chapter ready to post. However, due to the overwhelming response to the story, I'm going to post new chapters to a new story -- Life After Covid is Good.
Obviously, the ratings on the original story are so low the new chapters won't have a chance. I have no complaints, I wrote it and you rated it based on your feelings. That's how it works. Just do me a favor, rate the new stories on their own merits. Don't just bomb them because you think I suck. Hell, sometimes I don't like myself either.
