  • Better check out a book

    I’m not a food critic, mostly because rarely do I eat anything of consequence. Occasionally, though, fortune provides me with something to literally write home about. There is a place in Victoria, KS, that has fantastic food. It’s probably not much better than average to most, but most people don’t like greasy, thick hamburgers and…

  • 7/7

    Still alive Barely Seven shows in six days Don’t want to think about fuel consumption Two blown tires while doing 70mph More than 1000 miles in all Never had so much fun Thanks to Dusty Feighner for tagging along Made the road a little less hostile He’s going to open for us in September in…

  • Hairy black holes

    Stephen Hawking has recanted his prior belief that black holes have no hair. That is, all the information that is preserved when something crosses the event horizon is mass, spin, and charge. Now he says that it is perhaps possible to know a little more history than that when the black hole evaporates. He lost…

  • Zero crossing

    Pour me a lobotomy at the zero crossing. I just had a shitty weekend. I managed to spend $100 while making $70. Perhaps I’ll tell explain it sometime. I did get to hang out with my old band in Kansas City. They’re playing for Blaine Younger now. Trevor and I played in Tonganoxie at Helen’s…

  • Diesel music

    Wanna know what the sweetest sound in the world is? Too bad. I’m going to tell you anyway. It’s the sound of a Massey Fergueson 860 combine starting for the first time after a long, cold winter. My father vouched for me last week. I guess I’m now providing the sound equipment for the 100th…
