Messy

I hope the Texas Democrats can continue breaking quorum, and that Greg Abbott does not succeed in removing them from their jobs. There are various claims on the internet that the gerrymandering could backfire on Republicans, or that it's illegal for the FBI to go arrest the Democrats, but I don't know what will happen. Everything's chaos since the Supreme Court lets Trump do whatever he wants. Abbott could keep calling special sessions over and over. Paxton is even threatening Beto O'Rourke, who's not currently in office, but raises money for Democrats.

Meanwhile I tried making pizza from a frozen pizza dough ball that I bought at the grocery store. However, I don't have a rolling pin to flatten the dough, and when I stretched it out by hand, it wouldn't be circular. Plus, I didn't realize that the unfrozen dough would now be so soft and floppy that the toppings would fall off if I picked it up. So it was a struggle to put it on a baking sheet while not spilling things. The dough did bake fine in the oven, but it reminded me that my experiments in cooking can be messy. Overall I think it's less trouble to just use naan bread to make pizzas. That bread is better than baked pizza crusts I've tried, and I can just microwave instead of bake.

I'm looking into whether I should republish my Prelude to a Partnership novella as an ebook. It was on Feedbooks in 2009 for free, and I didn't ever get an ISBN for it. But I did at least get an EPUB out of it. If I can fix it up again, I could self publish on Draft2Digital to reach as many ebookstores as possible. I need a better book cover, though.

Also I recently rediscovered the Sherlock Holmes radio dramas done by Imagination Theater (Jim French and M. J. Elliott) which cover all 60 stories of the canon.
