Hope you and yours continue to be safe from the LA fires Marc. Some of my wife's family live north of LA and have thankfully been safe so far. Glad you were able to try and volunteer with the horse shelter. As someone who has no experience with them about the only thing I might possibly do it clean empty stalls.
I'm really liking New Now and Weird Little Hill from the upcoming After the Pulse album. I definitely feel that I've seen a weird little hill in most places I've visited, even in other countries. Hope the singer/protagonist in Weird Little Hill makes it back to the correct town someday soon.
Have you ever read any of Manly Wade Wellman’s stories of John the Balladeer, first collected in Who Fears the Devil? That’s sort of the inspiration for WLH.
All the Who Fears The Devil? books I could find were pricey paperbacks. But i did find there was a later collection named John the Balladeer in ebook format. I've got a copy put it in my reading queue after a couple of physical library books I have to finish up and get returned in a week.

Cleaning stalls is grounding, did it for a few hours yesterday and it felt good.
No, I haven't read any of those stories. I'll try to find them.

Thanks for the reading recommendation.
The stories from the original collection are in that later volume, but it’s early ones that made an impression on me.
