The ranger tossed the bear a pack of cigarettes.
"Here ya go, Stogie," he said. "I thought maybe cooling menthol might be good for today. It's going to be a hot one."
The bear caught the pack of smokes and tapped them reverentially against his palm. It was going to be a good day. (5/5) #wss366
<p>"I got you!" Forrest
"I got you!" Forrest screeched. "You should have seen your face!"
The bear sighed, defeated. Then the ranger stepped out from around a tree.
"I heard that, Forrest," the ranger said. "You don't joke about fire. You can spend the day in the petting zoo today."
Forrest screeched with rage. (4/5) #wss366

The bear salivated imagining the delicious smells of cooking meat. And s'mores.
His moment of quiet reflection was broken when someone started yelling.
"Fire! Fire!"
He rushed toward the picnic ground, but there was no-one there. Then he heard mocking laughter from the treetops. (3/5) #wss366
<p>The bear leaned back against a tree
The bear leaned back against a tree in the early morning, before any visitors arrived, and fired up his last cigarette. He always tried to save one from the night before. He closed his eyes and blew out a cloud of smoke.
Summer was just beginning, but it was deliciously cool this morning. (1/5) #wss366

They warned it might rain, so we're sitting just inside the door at BBC with a Foxglove DIPA. So far so good! #WesternMass

#WritersCoffeeClub June 19: How would you describe the theme of the whole of your œuvre?
I'm pretty sure I don't have an œuvre anymore. I had it surgically removed. Unless it's somehow grown back…

"Shake what?" Bebe said, looking down.
The Mean Girls all laughed.
Zaza pushed Bebe toward the stage.
Captain Tau, who had dropped them off at the door and then parked, came in from outside, totally drenched. He shook off by the door as the Mean Girls passed, showering them with water. (2/2) #wss366

#PennedPossibilities 704 — Share a scene with us that you’re proud of.
Panting with tension, Captain Tau maneuvered *Angels' Wings* delicately, orienting the cargo hatch toward the flare stack. Bebe blasted the climbing 'pedes with her plasma rifle to keep them from reaching the top while the recon team climbed onto the railing, 30 meters above the ground, and leapt through the air into the cargo hatch. Bebe slapped the hatch control.
"Angels aboard!" she cried. "Bebe has sealed the hatch!"

The cat glared at Lambda for a moment, but then sauntered off as though nothing had happened. Its tail lashed back and forth, however, which gave the lie to its disinterested air.
"No barking!" Totemo snapped at Lambda. "Do you want to get us thrown out of the park?" (3/3) #wss366

Totemo Isogashii and Lambda sat in a park near the office during lunch hour. After quickly finishing her bento, Totemo was reconciling species counts until she could go back to her office. Lambda sprawled on the bench, watching the lively activity in the park. Then her ears perked up. (1/3) #wss366

US Representative Jim McGovern at the Amherst Jones Library ground breaking: "I don't know who said it, but I've heard that libraries are like a hospital for the mind… And I know some people who need to check in." #WesternMass

"When it rains, the fire risk is low and few people come to the park, so I usually just stay in my cave."
"That's not a day off!" Brunhilde exclaimed, stamping her feet. "It has to be a nice day for it to be a day off!"
"Brunhilde! Stop teasing the bear!" (2/3) #wss366
<p>"Hey! Hey! Do you have to work
"Hey! Hey! Do you have to work every day, Mr. Bear?"
Brunhilde tagged along as he made his rounds through the picnic area. Today, she was wearing a pink dress with sparkles.
"I'm just trying to keep everyone safe," he said.
"But don't you ever get a day off?" (1/3) #wss366

At the @SFWA Nebula Conference, participants got book bags with a dozen physical books and today we received virtual book bags with another 20 or so ebooks. I will not lack for reading material for the foreseeable future.

"I saw a fountain and some cool statues. What did you see?"
"I saw a rock."
