Well, things have been moving, but not in the expected directions.

Still between contracts, I have been writing, but posting the work to my account at deviantart.

Considering what I have been doing between sending out resumes, I might be doing a few reviews and such here, when it doesn't go to another source.

If something gets uploaded to another site, I will try to remember to cross-post here.

37 Die In South, Midwest Heat Wave

The excerpt details the blurb what caught my attention on the radio:

The Tennessee Valley Authority, the nation's largest public utility, shut down one of three units at the Browns Ferry nuclear plant in Athens, Ala., because water drawn from the Tennessee River was exceeding a 90-degree average over 24 hours.

"We don't believe we've ever shut down a nuclear unit because of river temperature," said John Moulton, spokesman for the Knoxville, Tenn.-based utility.

The shutdown posed no safety threat, officials said. The TVA will compensate for the loss of power by buying power elsewhere, Moulton said.
