Hi folks, I know: I’m about a month late. This is not an excuse but rather a reason: I’ve been super-subjected to what I now call Hyperlink Hijacking (HH), with ‘Hyperlink’ having both a literal and metaphorical meaning. I start with the subject of How science has gone off the rails, and next thing I find myself reading a half…
An Electric ACW?
Beach site, Post Aransas, Texas, March 26 Hi folks, Well, talk about ridiculous: I’ve been asked to give a talk as part of the kick off at the annual Electric Universe conference in late June. A three-day event held at this year at Sheraton in Phoenix. I’m given to rambling about What It All Means (WIAM), plus its antecedent and…
Double Whammies!
In front of a buddy’s surf shop/residence in Galveston, March 18 Hi folks, I screwed up last post by not referencing DNA in this paragraph: ‘It’s not just Hancock who encounters snakes in his spirit-wanderings: In fact, intertwined snakes is an archetypal image that crosses all cultural/racial and even historical (meaning reports from centuries ago) bounds when a person visits…
I Do Like Texas!
Probably the only oceanfront Walmart lot on the planet, Galveston, Texas, March 13. Hi folks, (There’s a Postcard From The Road down at the bottom…) I wanted to write sooner, mainly to thank you all (collectively) for your interesting reactions to my last post, but then I decided I should first finish the book I’m reading: The Hidden History of…
Blizzards and Fools
Love’s Rest Stop, just east of San Antonio, Texas, March 6 – 9 Hi folks, Just came across a knockout of a film made back at Montauk this winter (‘Tauk Is Cheap Productions,’ a clever moniker); a couple of young surfers I’ve known since they were basically born ripping out at the point during the blizzard in late January; the…
One Stop Plus Skunk
One Stop Shop/gas pumps, Del Rio, Texas, 3:45 PM (local time in west Texas), March 2. Hi folks, There are apparently at least a few of you out there who like getting my ‘day in the life’ sort of posts and Out the Windshield vids, so I’ve decided to just sit down and write when/if I even just halfway feel…
Customs Carnival Plus Venus Burp Addendum
Hi Folks, March 2, a rest stop between Fort Stockton and San Antonio. A quick thank you to those who wrote re beating my writer’s block (which I hadn’t thought of!) and opining on the Customs Carnival and the Venus burp. Some of you didn’t recall (or subscribed lately) why I couldn’t get into Mexico, so I’ll reiterate here: It’s…
A Carnival Ride Plus Venus Burps
Hi folks, If you don’t want to hear it (whatever I have in mind) but are curious about my video this week, by all means scroll down to the bottom. A while back – on the winter solstice (which was a coincidence, I think) – I captured images of the planet Venus going through some very odd apparent changes… OK.…
A New Postcard Plus Rant
Hi folks, Those of you not interested in my ramblings can scroll down to my latest Postcard from the Road (preliminary indications are that it’s pretty good)… Thursday the 19th and I’m at a truck stop somewhere in either Arizona or New Mexico, not sure which. Listening to a Red Ice Radio podcast. I have a veritable shitload of podcasts,…
A Surface With Apology
Hi folks, For those of you who are keeping track of me and how I am (thanks for your emails of concern): silence is not a good sign is it? Nor is silence even appropriate given my promise to ‘keep in touch’, especially regarding those who have chipped in to keep me going… I’ll come back to this but I…
