Which is not unusual in someone recovering from knee surgery, but I’ve had a foot so swollen that I couldn’t get a shoe on it, so walking was kinda out of the picture. Daily application of compression sox finally reduced my foot to something like \[…\] ## [Clear Sky at Night, Fortnight’s Delight](https://www.walterjonwilliams.net/2026/05/clear-sky-at-night-fortnights-delight/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=clear-sky-at-night-fortnights-delight&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=clear-sky-at-night-fortnights-delight) _2026-05-22 · wjw · Walter Jon Williams_ Another fortnight, another Privateers and Gentlemen release from Flagship Editions.
