More Joko tromping around through the forest? Yup yup! This is my new hobby and it fits in so well with my video making hobby… Today’s Tour d’Joko takes us up I-90, about 50 miles from home, to the Cascade Mountains. I was the first one on the trail, getting there about 8:30 AM. Walking […]

My leg muscles feel like jello. My feet ache like they’ve trampled upon by a herd of wild llamas. My knees are like those a 93 year old career ditch-digger. Yes, I hurt. See, I hiked 9 miles today. That number may not sound like a tremendously long distance, even for a 41 year-old pack-a-day […]

About a month ago, I described some seemingly fortuitous coincidences, signs, if you will, surrounding the purchase of a used Pontiac TransPort that would eventually get me back on the road. Turned out that the thing had a bad heater core and I ended up returning it to the dealership. Well, there are similar good […]

It’s December. I can’t help but think ahead. In two weeks, I’ll have my drivers license back, insurance and a dependable vehicle in which to travel. See, before my life changed 20 months ago, road trips, making videos and exploring the world were my favorite things to do. Few if any of you reading this […]

There is so much I admire about the Occupy movement. Without it’s amorphousness, without it’s puritanical simplicity when it comes to specific goals and being leaderless, it may not have had the endurance it has had… Mind you, it’s endurance has encompassed 10 weeks, but it’s impact as a demonstrative movement has surpassed the Tea […]

Videos from this week in years past… Re-Runs, I know… One year ago this week, we had a big snowstorm here in the Great Northwest, from which I made what I think is a fun little chronicle about biking and busing in the snow (more on my current transportation situation coming soon).
