I had been thinking about creating another post, to start November off with a blast, but Greg Laden's newest version of his blog appropriately named Greg Laden's blog, lists The Writer's Daily Grind on his blog! Yay! It's a very special yay, because I'm not a scientist, and all the other blogs he lists are from scientists! True, I'm writing "romantic" science fiction that features Neandertals in one capacity or another. And it's also true that my current efforts --- currently finishing Book 2 of my epic --- are set in medieval England. And he might not necessarily agree with the general thrust of my literary efforts. But I do appreciate hisl listing my blog anyway. Because we've "known" each other for quite a while now. There used to be a site called Palanth, which was kind of a meeting place for those who were serious about discussing various aspects of human evolution. And he had a lot of things to say about human evolution. Sometimes we disagreed. But I've always respected his ideas, and will continue to do so. I can't imagine doing anything else. So, to return the favor, I'm going to add Greg Laden's newest blog to my own list. Which I would urge any visitor here, to read.
So, once again, thank you Greg Laden,

'hisl' blog is great. In fact 'hisl' blog is fantastic.!
And what exactly is "hisl"?

Now I know what "hisl" is! I goofed again. . .
greg laden is an asshole. No one should read his blog.
greg laden's blog engages in snide, juvenile sniping at people he doesn't even know. He's a worthless writer in my opinion.
Mr. or Ms. Anonymous:
Aside from the intemperate language, which I normally don't allow, why do you say this about Greg Laden's blog? It appears you have some disagreement with him?

Mr. or Ms. Anonymous:
Let me make things clear here. I read a lot of blogs, on a fairly wide variety of subjects. Most of these subjects are irrelevant to most of what I write here. Some of these blogs are interesting, at least to me, just because. . . .but they have nothing to do with the subject at hand. But a lot of the blogs I read have "core material" that is relevant to the subjects covered, that form the various parts of my Great Medieval Science Fiction Masterpiece With Neandertals -- except for the last, which I added for entirely personal reasons: Neandertals, medieval history and life, writing, and wolves(I'm "into" wolves and they apear in a much larger "corpus" which takes place in the near future, but wolves don't appear in my "medieval" stuff).
Greg Laden' blog falls under this rather wide umbrella. He has a lot of material of scientific value, and sometimes, his material has nuggets I can use. He can certainly be annoyingly opinionated on some thigns, but aren't we all, when it comes to our cherished beliefs and theories? Besides, "opinion" comes with the territory in the blogosphere, though I do my best to keep my opinions on the "temperate" side. So I really don't understand what this is about. Perhaps, Mr/Ms. Anonymous, you could explain it to me?
