Tomorrow Ye Will Get Your Pay

Dual Timeline Historical Fiction - 90k words

New Bedford, 1867 Amos Cudjoe, a harpooner on his second voyage, joins the crew of the bark Wampanoag, hoping to earn enough money to return home and marry. Before he can step on board, he meets Tobey, a greenhand freed by the Civil War, looking for something that he isn’t going to find. Amos loans Tobey his last name, and his friendship, and ties their fates together in their dangerous hunt for oil. New Bedford, 2057 Marcus Ashton, a historical interpreter on a reproduction whaling vessel, finds Amos's journal-- and loses himself. As his life falls apart in the hottest summer on record, visions of the past and future offer no consolation for the present.

package arrived at my house (from old navy) addressed to some guy named steve but with my address on it. not sure what to do about this. the amount that i want to deal with customer service on somebody else's behalf for putting the wrong address on their order is zero. in fact it's negative. but it would be morally right for me to try to figure out how to get this back to its owner. but also i don't careeeeee

tried looking him up on facebook and there are three (3) guys with the same first + last name in my town. so sorry to all three of you, whichever rightfully owns this package

#it was not sent through USPS it was mailed with maersk#which means i can't even be like “post office please take this”#i didn't even know they did last mile shipping#natalie does textposts

Anonymous asked:

hey there I live just outside Franconia notch! It's muggy as hell here now so may not be a total relief, especially if your week off is close to now. We're knee deep in deer fly season. If you're closer to September you might be in better shape. Hello from up here, though!

Keep that tent out of the sun and vent it as soon as that sun goes down. There's a great used camping goods store in Franconia. You'll find decent stuff this time of year. Head over to V2V and the used camping store is Franconia Basecamp. If Jordan is working there, say hi from the internet.

The flume gorge should be a HUGE relief in this weather though.

<3 yeah I figured the weather would not be super pleasant. my vacation is not next week but the week after. maybe I should try to get a few days off in sept/Oct

#I love having people apparently live fairly nearby to me lol#i'm in north central mass. we should hang out sometime anon#natalie does textposts
