Singin’ in the Rain.
21-Aug-13Day One: Across New York State.
03-Jul-13order stromectol over the counter I spent four summers during college traveling around Europe, and I always felt a bit ashamed that so many of the Europeans I met there had seen so much more of America than I had: they had been to the Grand Canyon, driven Route 66, hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, seen San Francisco and Hollywood, […]
Vehicular Mystery Solved.
07-Apr-13On my trip out to Michigan, I had some worries about my pickup truck. I typically get around 25 miles per gallon on good highway driving across the Midwest – flat, fast-driving country. On this trip however I was heading in to the gas station for another 17 gallons when my trip odometer read 260 […]
The Elusive Friend.
08-Mar-13For most of this winter my cabin has been surrounded, continually, by the tracks of a four-footed carnivore – whom I have yet to see in the flesh. He criss-crosses the property, sometimes crossing my lawn multiple times per night. I have seen his tracks go under my extension and through the middle of my […]

Bene conscius sum hoc munus secundum suam […]

Haunted State Parks!
29-Nov-12One of my favorite things about Edward Abbey (and his friends) is that on his death his friends (at his request) took his body into the desert and buried in some hidden place, and like Moses, “No one to this day knows where he is buried.” Texas is now starting a pilot project to make […]
Snow.
27-Nov-12This is not the first snow of the season, but it feels like it’s the first permanent snow – the season is now setting in. Liquid water is getting harder to come by. I went down to the spring this morning, and it was still open, but not for long. I used snow to wash […]
