Another SFW Public Newsletter, 10-26-2026
My home/studio's backyard flooding plan seems to have worked. I will know better at the end of the flooding season. Installing (however poorly) a french drain has left the back porch high and dry. Currently installing a drying shelf in the fire pit. The first test will happen shortly, probably just before Halloween. I am to the planting things stage now and the back porch is almost in service again.

Miniatures/Artcards
These are nearly done. I still need to varnish, scan, and post. All before Halloween? These are cropped for SFW viewing, a couple are from Stu and my genital shoot, SDAI group photo shoot, darkspace couple, and a view outside the train as it moves along. Most of these survived a week or so in the wind and sun at the Desert Dairy. Gives the edges and back a nice worn look.

The Sales Tax people noticed that I am not selling anything... So have canceled my resale licence. This seems reasonable to me. I am officially not doing pop-ups anymore. Keeping the business licence because I am hawking subscriptions to this website free and otherwise and it has turned into a steady income. I hope to spice things up a bit by train travel. Fantasizing about taking a portable printer and working as I roll across the countryside. My fantasies are different at 70...
If for some reason you have lost your subscription, not your fault, I have been culling people that have unsubscribe from all newsletters (only one newsletter now) and those who have not been opening them (less than 40% of the time) or not looking at the site... easy to fix if you want back in, just sign back up!
Thank you! All my love,
Richie
