Sausage. Who amongst the omnivores here doesn’t love sausage? Going back to it’s origins, sausage is the respectable older sibling of the hot dog: let’s take cuts of meat that would otherwise be unpalatable to the western tongue, grind them up with a few regular cuts and stuff the results into something that is 0usable and easily cooked, I.e., intestine casings.
Like the wildebeest of the Kalahari, the caribou of the Arctic and the lemmings of the Mongolian steppes, I encountered a herd of creatures on my patio that were, to the best I could tell, MIGRATING… Any slug experts out there can tell me what is going on in this video? This happened last night. […]
I have been reading a lot of caveman books lately. I’ve read two novels from Jean Auel’s Clan of the Cave Bear series, and I just finished the first book from Harry Harrison’s West of Eden series. There is something really deep down that resonates with me when I read these pieces of Stone age […]

I’ve never been much of a conspiracy theorist. Someone could give me lots and lots of evidence that the wars of today were engineered by a secret conspiracy within a hidden world government designed to keep the money flowing to the military-industrial complex, and I would still find it hard to believe. I tend to believe in Occam’s Razor, in other words, the simplest explanation for things is likely correct one.
What would you do if someone entrusted you with his or her creative life’s work and you had the power to celebrate or denigrate it, and then you found it, meh… so so?
This is what happened to me 4 years this week. When I bought my ukulele, I kinda charmed the owner of the small, independent music store I had bought it from in Walnut Creek, CA
Ah, the serial commenters who leave all these pics on our profiles. You know the ones I’m talking about, right? Every day, or every couple of days, they will leave these rather large picture comments on your profile, sometimes accompanied with a generic greeting like “Have a great Monday!”.
