We had fun – even though it was really, really hot – at the zoo last week. We stayed at Aunt Valerie’s house and she went with us..

Laray Carr Publishing/Scott Dylan Link??
Last year I was hired by Laray Carr Publishing as an editor for several magazines….long story short, it went bust and the “owner” walked away from about 20 ‘full-time’ staff and dozens of writers to the tune of about $350,000. My share was $7K, as was each of the other 5 editors, but anyway after futile attempts at an update, there is this finally:
Scott Dylan Arrested from a blog. They also claim there is a link between Laray Carr Publishing and Scott Dylan’s shady business dealings. Apparently there is a couple guys who work together, get enough work done to have a product sample to take to potential advertisers. They advertisers pay up front, the scam artists take the money and run and never pay the people who do their samples, mock ups and behind the scenes work.
If it is Laray Carr people, I hope he rots in jail. The FBI probe did not go very far, since the list of scams was so extensive, they kind of gave up. The local police in Texas where he ’said’ he was based out of couldn’t help since it involved international designer and writers. Maybe justice will finally be served, even if the money is never paid!

Fireworks
The first pictures are on the fireworks setting. Didn’t work. Then I switched to something else and I have no idea what, but it took a little better pictures. I just wanted one good shot…maybe next year.

My Outdoor Office
Being your own boss has some perks. I’ll only mention the perks, because there are a lot of things that stink. But here are some perks.
An outdoor office:
Beautiful scenery:
And the background noise:
Not bad for a work day, if I could only get some work done!
