Six degrees of Reno bacon

it’s pretty incestuous here… -Kyle Kozar
So yesterday I was chilling with the RBP drinkin’ PBR and chatting with Kyle, Noah, Mike, Reid, and the gang. The above quote came from me asking questions about how they came together, got hooked up with the people they’re hooked up with.

Bloated Bovine

The boy moved like he had said something but I didn’t hear anything. The kid wore a straw cowboy hat with a wide brim, and a decorative strap around it. He had on jeans and a polyester shirt that fastened at the openings with mother-of-pearl snaps instead of buttons. He was only 16 years old, eighteen at the most. My Grandfather had had shirts like that; shirts that haven’t been made for decades, years at least I would think. Shirts that hadn’t been in style for even longer. Anyway, I couldn’t imagine a place where the boy could have gotten a shirt like that. It was clean and shiny and looked as young as he was, in shirt years.

Tumblr

So I started a Tumblr thingy. Looks like a simple way to integrate a lot of things. We’ll see.
Also started Shelfari as a way to look smart and worldly by the books I’ve read.
I recall a monologue or essay by David Sedaris or David Rakoff on how to appear more worldly and erudite in public [...]

Raccoon

Sometimes life throws you lemons and you are forced to grind them up, add ice and Saphire and make (happy)lemon-aide. I’m afraid I tossed this guy a citron far more bitter without the benefit of a hefeweizen to quench his thirst. Number one bait for Raccoons is Crispy Bacon, but I went with [...]

Dropping Science

Now here we go dropping science dropping it all over
Like bumping around the town like when you’re driving a Range Rover

Read two interesting letters to the editor today. This is why we need to teach children about the scientific method in school. Was the bible peer reviewed? Where is [...]

Location x3

Worked in the yard again today. It’s great to live where we live. Kevin dropped in four times over the weekend on his way to and from work, and because, “it’s faster than calling.” Dave stopped by on a ride. PJ did a drive by. I think I saw Andy. And Ryan Jerz stopped by [...]

Ronald McDonald’s Heart is Rotten

When I was a kid and had to spend time in the “Nursery” at the 1st Church Of Christ Scientists in Bakersfield, California we did whatever we could do to pass the time. there were various wholesome toys and books and games, most of which featured inspiring, insipid bible stories, or morally righteous, farm animals.

Surprisingly [...]

Some days you’re the turd, some days you’re the toilet paper

Yesterday I was the toilet paper. Things are looking up though. Today it feels more like the turd.

Sludge

Sludge is such an unhappy word. I prefer humanure. But even still, you’d think a place like Bako could get the hell over it. Just more proof that people will vote for things that they know will never affect them. Let me tell you though, (and believer me, cause THIS I know) Sludge may come [...]
