I took Ruby running in a shipping container wareyard today. She enjoyed splashing through the puddles and searching for rats, and I enjoyed the disorienting scenery. It felt like I was cavorting in a giant’s LEGO village. This looks like a tight fit, but I could easily ride my bicycle through this passageway. It is [...]

IMG_4758, a photo by Meetzorp on Flickr. I decided to go back and exposure-correct this picture from Joel’s and my coast-to-coast trip today. We are standing in the rigging of the Adventure, a replica coastal trader ship which is part of the Charles Towne Landing living history site. This young fellow, whom I believe was [...]

Man, yesterday was a study in contrasts. At one point in the day, two friends and I were splitting a cookie we’d found in a trash can (it was wrapped, and on top of everthing – absolutely no garbage juice was involved) then later that evening, I was listening to these guys in the new [...]

IMG_9041, a photo by Meetzorp on Flickr. In the past three years, I have found three different suitcases. Each is a different brand and color (or pattern) but somehow, they all look really good together! I meant to take the orange Samsonite along on our vacation to Chicago, but then we thought we were going [...]

On Saturday, I found myself among friends, hanging around behind an abandoned industrial building. Some folks were drinking beers; all of us were talking shit. Because that’s what we do. Shoot the bull, drink beer, and hang around debris-strewn alleyways behind abandoned buildings. We’re classy n’ shit. Any old how, I wasn’t drinking beer because [...]

So…another Dirty Kanza 200 has come and gone, and I was on hand as a helper-varmint again, though this time as support crew for Joel and Wade. Which meant driving Joel’s pickup from one tiny Kansas town to another, with a 5-gallon water cooler in the back (as well as a cooler of food and [...]

I went on a dual-purpose ride today. First objective was to give the dog a run: Second objective was to scavenge up as many ripe mulberries as I could: I made an scouting trip yesterday with the dog, and just snacked on mulberries as I find them, but made plans to come back again…with tupperware! [...]

Massive big fun at ChrisGo’s Urban Cyclocross race. My only goal had been to get completely filthy. I pretty much completely ate it in the practice lap, and then collected splashback for the next four laps, so by the time it was all over, I made crunching noises when I moved. Fortunately, those jeans I [...]

I know Photoshopped lens-flare (and perhaps lens-flare in general) is considered incredibly naff, but I swear this happened by accident, and I don’t care how much of a technical fault it is, I think it looks pretty cool in this context. I was going back through my Flickr account and deleting some crap pictures and [...]

Last Saturday, I got invited to an exorcism at a liquor store. Well, the exorcism wasn’t at the liquor store; I was at the liquor store when the invitation was extended to me. The exorcism, supposedly, was to take place in this new church in an old warehouse in the West Bottoms. It is a [...]
