Bedrock & Paradox

This mule (?) seemed pretty chill, though it did have an air of quiet desperation about it. As would I, had I been given my own orange bandanna before being left at camp tied, lengthely, to a tree.“It is still true today that our scientific and medical knowledge of madness rests implicitly on the prior…

It’s not a coincidence that M and I have lived in some pretty cool places. While hiking yesterday my mind drifted back (waaaay back) to the autumn of 2005, when M had graduated from college, we were both working full time, had saved up enough money to buy the Xterra (used) outright, and were generally…

Myself, I mess with (in iPhoto) almost all the photos I take a post on here. I think of it as akin…

Yes, three! Late to the party, but we’ll celebrate showing up at all (with a Hoptober Golden Ale, the perfect compliment to the below). The Missoula-to-Waikiki Express (Pizza) A whole wheat and stout, thin crust pizza with bison meatballs, jalapeno, orange bell pepper, and pineapple. The dough is the key, without this, you’re sunk. This…

Back a day early, for a variety of reasons, but who cares?! We had an amazing trip, perfect autumn weather in Yellowstone, and in a fantastic new region of the park. But then, aren’t they all? (trips and regions) Between the two of us we have 364 photos and video clips, so it’ll take some…
