Salton Sea, southwestern CA, November 24 (finished on December 15 at a remote desert campsite 30 miles west of Salton Sea) Hi folks, Sorry for the delay in posting this – given my ominous last-post about ‘strange lights in the desert sky.’ Truth is, I wanted to think about it, do research (on how aircraft are supposed to be lit…
Water Everywhere
Oceanside Harbor Mouth, November 30. Hi folks, First: Gus and I and the rig are surrounded on four sides by water. Four, not three (photos to come). Looking out any of my windows takes me right out of the funk I’ve been in. I mean right out. (I think the real reason for this lame post is to share that.) Just…
Lot Lizards, Birds, and Old Loves
Hi folks, Several of you have suggested that my posts are too long for our internet age (for ‘others,’ not them), so I’m going to put my Postcards at the top. Everyone seems to like them and this way you don’t have to read the drivel that follows if your not so inclined. I’m trying to avoid losing more of…
Once in a Lifetime…
Pilot’s Truck Stop (another chain, like Love’s) just west of the Arizona border. I first want to clear up a couple things re my last couple posts, wherein I more or less collided with Jan Irvin and then Clint Richardson. A couple of you suggested that I’m wasting my time and whatever talent I have on folks like them. Not…
Return to Creepy Mountain
Love’s Truck Stop, near Las Cruces, New Mexico (Various dates, ending on November 3) ‘This man has some internal evil brewing in him.’ This is Jan Irvin, referring to moi, your humble blogster. He was writing via email to one of you all – a subscriber to this blog – in reply to the subscriber’s suggestion that Jan actually reply to my…
An Open Letter to Jan Irvin
Addendum (from August 2018): It’s a long time in ‘the future’ from when I first penned this post and holy shit have some of my views changed! I have done a 180 (actually, somewhere around 225) on two issues that I make much of in this essay: The Big Bang and Evolution. If you’re interested in my views on Evolution…

Always Open?
Woke up pre-dawn at a truck stop near St. Louis: Eddie’s Travel Center. Thought I’d finish up some film editing I was too tired for last night when I pulled in and found myself hurrying to get it done so I could get some early mileage in. Kept looking out the window where the dawn was gathering, itching to hit…
Gracias
Hi folks, Been driving all day, like 10 hours and am too tired to post a real post but I just wanted to thank all who responded to my last two. I’m too tired to respond to individual emails, plus I’m paying goddamn AT&T for every bit of info that comes across the net in my direction (cell phone hook…
Something Bad Happened…
Something bad just happened and I’m trying to positivize the event (to coin a term), get something worthwhile out of it, something positive that otherwise would not have occurred. It’s around noon on Sunday, September 21st and I’m parked at a gas station off Route 84 in New York State, maybe an hour from the Pennsylvania border. I just…
