Clear Lake, way up yonder

We had every intention of camping at Clear Lake last night, but thought better of it when dad did the math; you lose approximately 10° for every 1000' of elevation change, and it was in the low 40's at 9000 where we are, and Clear Lake is 12,200' with 40 MPH winds at the summit. I could just imagine our tent sailing off of the top of the mountain like a yellow hang glider with…

Dateline: South Mineral Fork

We been on the road since Friday. Usually it takes a few days into a journey to find your "mojo", or the particular rythym of the road, but this one seems to be a bit more difficult than most. Small hindrances have kept cropping up, nothing major;  intermittent rain and hail, a touch of altitude distress, and then there's the crowds. You would think that it would be difficult to get claustrophobic in an area …

All my rowdy friends

A follower of the page asked for an update on those that have passed through the Casa and onto bigger and better things; there have been so many BC (before Charlie) that I couldn't begin to recount them all, so I will limit the updates to the inmates that are AD (after devastation). Stevie: of course, everyone remembers Stevie; I discovered her in the heat of July last year, and it took me three weeks…

Here we go again!

Dad here; 0445 at the Casa del Whackos, and Charlie, as usual, has decided to get her lick on, but this one was different. Instead of her full bore facial assault, this one was a casual "sleepily swab the back of dad's head" lick, just enough to wake me up, which of course was her sign to go back to sleep. I saw that Charlie's phone had new activity, so I snuck a peek and…

The curse of cities is that they root people in one location and make them blind… Ogadai Khan

Some people love to travel, I LIVE to travel. I don't know if it's a byproduct of my confinement in the crate, but I absolutely lose my mind at the very sound of an engine firing up, whether it's an auto, a motorcycle or even the riding lawnmower. Dad used to think I was afraid of the mower as I would attack the orange monster while it appeared to be carrying him away, the plastic…

All that who lean are not off balance

Many moons, make that many harvests ago, when dad was slightly less portly, he had a fixation on skateboarding and surfing; slightly odd, considering being raised in Arkansas. He never was very good, but hung out with some guys that were, the most notable being this Gary fella that at 50 plus, is still ripping it up to this day. He and dad lost touch pursuing different family and career paths, but always remembered the…
