Last year I read 2.5 books. A real low. I just finished my first book of 2026, hoping to get back to atleast 10 books.

Of course the first book was a John McPhee book

Do any of my desert rat friends who spend time in Death Valley/eastern Sierra/amargosa have any opinions on the best time for a Death Valley week this spring? I’m stuck between Feb 1-7 or Feb 20-27 right now. Thinking later is better for gloom

Finally saw someone referring to us shoegaze which means the term is officially meaningless and we can finally delete it from the lexicon. We'd like to thank America's youth for doing their part!

Went to a local show, I say this with total love.

I get a lot of rock music content on my Instagram. Just that type of guy. Every post with Neil Young or Lou Reed gets a bunch of hate. That means they’re good.

Red winged black birds are back. Staging for our annual war atm. The troops are gathering at the border (the pond) and doing drills (chirping at me)

My most one dimensional take about ecology is that all the logging in Algonquin should stop right now forever and ever.

Insane that the Canadian government just keeps funnelling millions of dollars at Deloitte to make decks about how to “modernize”
