Skirmish - Clifford D. Simak [589 2014-02-11]
"Skirmish"(1977) is a collection of ten stories by the noted science-fiction author Clifford Simak (1904-88). The stories were all previously published during years 1944-75.
In addition to the stories there is a very informative 5-page author's forward. Simak details the themes he uses, the type of characters that appeal to him and his use of southwest Wisconsin as a local for many of his stories.
The following are comments on the stories in the order they appear in the book:
"Huddling Place"(1944) and "Desertion"(1944) may be familiar to some readers since they are chapters from the author's future history novel "City". The stories can be enjoyed individually but interested readers should read them again in the context of the book "City".
"Skirmish"(1950) originally published under the title "Bathe Your Bearings in Blood" features a newspaper editor as the protagonist - interestingly that was author Simak's day job for most of his working life. Alien beings animate machines - typewriter, sewing machine etc. prior to an outright invasion and the subjugating of mankind. This 60 plus year old story has not aged well.
"Good Night, Mr. James"(1951) a vicious alien being is let loose in a Midwestern city and must be apprehended before they reproduce. A nasty twist of fate for the protagonist awaits readers in the stories last sentence.
"The Sitters"(1958) the location for this thoughtful story of human aging and benevolent alien beings is the town Millville - a local used frequently in Simak's fiction and the name of the town where he was raised.
"The Big Front Yard"(1958) this story won the Hugo award for best novelette published during 1958. I found this story just too cute and overflowing with SF stereotypes and full of logical impossibilities but many Simak fans think this is one of his better stories.
"All the Traps of Earth"(1960) one of the best stories in the collection in my estimation. The two themes that permeated much of Simak's fiction, robots and mankind's intellectual evolution, are thoughtfully parsed out in this absorbing tale.
"The Thing in the Stone"(1970) a man retreats to a dilapidated farm in southwest Wisconsin to heal from an accident that killed his family. In this geological pristine location he become aware that a head injury gives him a view into the ancient past where he discovers an enigmatic mystery.
"The Autumn Land"(1971) an old town in a hidden Midwest valley serves as a metaphor for an indeterminate rest stop after death. In his introduction to this collection Simak states he was very pleased with this story - and so was this reader.
"The Ghost of a Model T"(1975) another metaphoric story of life after death. A model T automobile drives two presumably dead individuals around reliving some prior life experiences.
If you are curious or new to the writings of Simak this collection is well worth reading.
Wow a Wonder!

Last of my weekend photo batch. I wanted to add this last one before I took anything else. I like how it looks but the only thing that bugs me is my hair elastic. I added the one in comments for what it'd look like with out the band but I didnt like how the rest of the image turned out as much as this one.
if you could please either ask permission to blog my photos or credit them that'd be great, thank you.
...although this person seems to like hockey
I find cars with many bumper stickers interesting and try to check out as many as I can. There's often a combination of messages that is puzzling, to say the least.
Please note that I'm not encouraging comments about the political or religious content of the stickers. That could quickly get into nasty arguments and I don't need that aggravation. We live in a country where people can put this stuff on the back of their cars. Let's simply revel in that.
Finally, I've loaded larger-than-usual versions of the pictures so that you can give these works of art the detailed inspection that they deserve.

Comment les Smart Cities peuvent-elles contribuer au mieux-être des citoyens ? Quels sont les leviers qui permettent de créer une culture du partage et de l'innovation ? Quels sont les critères technico-économiques, environnementaux et le montage juridico-financier des projets étrangers ? Quelles sont les contraintes spécifiques rencontrées par les villes d’Asie du Sud-Est et les prérequis nécessaires aux projets de smart city ?
En savoir plus :
I will be out for an indefinite period for medical reasons.
I will not be able to comment on pictures for I can’t sit for a long period. I am going to miss everyone so much for I love my flickr family.
Would like to take this time to wish each and everyone of you a
Very Special Thanksgiving.

I went for a weekend visiting Gemma in Derby.
Saturday morning we went to visit the breathtaking Dovedale. I simply adore this place.
Sadly due to so much rain this year, the stepping stones were closed, and when we got to them, we couldn't even reach them to go walking on the path beyond because the river had flooded the path!
We ended up coming home early but it was still stunning and beautiful.
