Now I want--nay, demand!--that ventriloquist novel. A companion to Niagara Falls All Over Again? Have you read Jennifer Boylan’s stuff? She’s also fascinated by ventriloquists. If you’re interested, here’s a taster: https://jenniferboylan.net/jfb-in-nyt-we-want-cake-too/
A bookstore that never closed sounds lovely but here in Washington State I don’t even think they were allowed. We were limited to essential stores only though I suppose one could have argued bookstores are essential.
Oh raccoons! We had an encounter about a month ago where a family of them came to a canyon sloping off the end of our backyard. How cute as they frolicked in a bucket of water that Mark leaves for meandering critters. Then a couple of nights later they raided the persimmon tree and decimated all the fruit. Aargh.
You are the hero of this substack. ❤️
Barton Springs reports are the cream in my coffee.
Are raccoons the kind of creatures, like possums, that will wait and watch for humans to discard something that might be edible.
I can’t tell if the that in that should go between creatures and the first comma, or where it is, or if it matters one way or the other. 😩

You may be untidy but you’re clean! You’ve got your priorities right. (I felt the same way when I was teaching in The Academia.)
