Vote for Earth
And this is what it’s come to in smoky Portland, where Ben wears a mask indoors and implores us to as well, and wonders if we’ve gone to hell and I tell him no not yet but the world is heading that way, and he asks how anyone these days – with all the infernos […]

In search of Buffalo Bill
Chasing down a rumor that Buffalo Bill and I are related, I left Big Sky, Montana last week and went in search of the man. It may be just a coincidence that we both wear hats size large, but I feel we are akin in many ways and may share some bloodlines. What’s more, I’ve […]

A KILLER STORY
I don’t know how else to explain it but a few years ago I got a wild hair and summoned up the gall to try writing a novel. Nobody stopped me and now it’s done. The “book” is called A KILLER STORY. In short, it’s a first-person crime noir with a memoir undertone. It takes […]

Border Emergency Report
I got pulled over in Arizona recently, a suspected potential drug smuggler. I didn’t mind a bit – it was an honest mistake. Frankly, it felt great. Like I could be considered dangerous. A rebel. An hombre. Not just your average white American codger. But no, I wasn’t smuggling anything. I did have a bottle […]

Dispatch from Crazyville
The crazies were out in full force last Saturday at the dueling Portland protest rallies – on both sides of the street. Patriots came from both left and right, including one stuffed cowboy riding a dog that was riding a skateboard towed by a guy riding a bike. And a man (I assume, but women […]

Random Uncounters
Every once in awhile I write short, true accounts of encounters with random homeless folks in downtown Portland. The following is one such account. No Hand Out I first noticed him as I was heading into a convenience store. He was sitting on the sidewalk in a gray hoodie with one leg splayed out. He […]

Goose the noodle
TAKE YOUR BRAIN FOR A WALK. According to studies, walking stimulates your brain. This official scientific image shows how the brain reacts to exercise. I’m no scientist, but it makes sense to me. In my line of work, I’ve found that when you need inspiration it helps to get the blood flowing and take […]

Best website on Earth – or worst?
Normally, I HATE websites that are so jammed and cluttered with content your eyeballs burst before you can figure out what the hell they sell and how to buy it. One of the worst I’ve ever seen is SO BAD that it’s actually good. Not just good, but (in my addled mind) GREAT. It’s absolutely […]
