Being uncomfortable is part of life. I am not a smart man, in many respects. Not like I carry a bindle on a stick. But a lotta time it's just a lighter, a knife, and a towel. And a Sharpie, iffen in town. Winter is different, of course. Not freezing to death is cool.

Excellent advice. I've always been dumb about it, riding on old tags off some random vehicle. And watching my mirrors for 6-up constantly. Good to know there's other options.

Not like I'm butt hurt bout it, but certainly take issue with "smilies are for cowards and scumbags." Mace don't stop everybody. For that matter, neither does a 9mm, everytime. It's all just playing the odds. But if it comes to it, I wanna sumbitch dropped, not just pissed off. It is wiser to...

A guitar is nice but bulky as all get out. Even a Mandolin is bigger than I like, but it's sweet to travel with something to play around with. You sound like you're trying to give yourself convincing arguments for leaving it this time. But could just be reading overmuch. And Florida blows...

Welcome. What part of Florida ya in? Reckon I'm bout to bounce up on outta this mug. Head over to North Cackalackey when my ole lady gets outta the joint end of this month.

Why a bike with an aftermarket motor, opposed to just getting a moped or dirtbike or whatever? The ability to pedal should you choose? There's few things in this world that flat out can't be done, it's just a matter of working out the logistics, is all. Do you plan on doing extensive...

Portland-to-Portland race sounds Rad as all get out. A bit far out of a concept, since it's like herding cats just to get folks to gather, often enough. Wintertime there's a fair decent amount of kids who boogie down the Ocala way, for Valentine's. So somewhere nearish to there, like...

Now I know mad gals who dig on Dr Who, and've shot pool in dive bars with gals who'd have rather been at home leveling up on World of Warcraft, and had some take me to free comic book day & snag some brews thereafter. That being said, I have never met any LARPing mamas, not once. Don't...

Dig it, but with the caveat that it looks like a harbor with all them sailboats. Maybe a bicycle/motorcycle in the mix? Or/and a van/rv (I do see those roads on the borders)?

Exactly, it really makes homeownership an attainable reality for folks, as opposed to a vague abstraction of a goal. And if you need more interior space, an addition can be built down the line. But it makes precious little sense to start out with vastly more house than you have use for...

Shit duder, I ain't looking for a road dog, nothing personal at all. But I am just pinballing back and forth up and down the coast. Gonna be up around St Johns river in a week give or take, maybe hit Cocoa thereafter, if it's worth it. Ya fish? Or surf? Hit a mofo up iffen ya feel like...

Also, I love the aspect of using the profits to cover the cost of building homes for families who're standing in need. Because a whole family has a rough time on the streets, trying to keep it all together. Seen it done, by those folks who want to, and more power to them. But it is exponentially...

Florida is Rad & folks don't realize cause there is mad bogus junk bout it. First and foremost being these goons keep an honest man from grabbing a 40oz, for half a century. Gulf coast trains you got phosphorus mines they stay wanting to go to, but it ain't so bad, just a minor pain. I dig...

There's been so many times when I've been a guest in somebody's home, and they've mad rooms they don't go in on the regular. Inside for sleeping when the weather sucks is about what space you need. Speaking of zoning ordinances, that has been one of those things that has been a minor...

Ain't a damn thing wrong with a con, cause like P.T.Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute. People wanna blow cash everyday on scratch offs, but only the gov't gets that low-hanging fruit? Fuck that noise, says I! I always got dice and they ain't even loaded usually. Slanging...

Summertime is a fine time to become nocturnal. Sleep under a shade tree during the heat of the day, enjoy that night life when it's cool enough to walk around without feeling like you're gonna melt.

And iffen you're wanting to kick it on the beach a few days, a bedroll is the way to go. Some places don't care about a tent, but flying under the radar is the smartest course. Besides, when it's nice enough to sleep on the beach, why spend the night in a tent anyway? Anyway, just hitched...

Anything that can do double-duty, like can the pliers tool cut wire? How often do you use the scissors; is the knife insufficient for your cutting needs? Do you need toothpaste if you have baking soda? Considerations like that shave a little here and there and really add up. Also, I think...

Bah, lost the whole post in the ether. Oh well. Anyway, never've been to two Gatherings that were the same. Some wingnuts and blissninny fuckers'll sour one's impression of the thing as a whole. The execution varies in success from year to year and some locations tend to have their shit...

Since you don't hafta worry about viruses in the US, how important is a filter, anyway? I mean, sure I prefer the taste of cool refreshing water coming outta the side of the mountain, or collecting morning dew off leaves. But if I'm parched bad, a dirty puddle works. Don't you get an immunity...

Being an American is Rad. There are all these different states that usually don't extradite, so you got a lotta chances to split if you don't wanna deal with certain legal entanglements. But it sucks that if one state takes your license, other states won't issue you one. It also is lame that...

If you ain't faking the funk, it really isn't like there's a right & proper way to go about existing. Racking up mileage is Rad, but if it is simply to be moving towards a high score, there's gonna be plenty missed. But that's your own prerogative and hauling ass isn't the incorrect way to...

Agree completely with the needle exchange concept, and for the life of me I've no idea why it isn't a universal practice. But then I am also of the belief that simply having a spike shouldn't be an arrestable offense, in hopes that perhaps there'd be less used rigs littering roadsides. Quit, or...

There's a lotta solo miles strolling on down the road wherein I take to singing songs I got no intent on holding onto, just sorta figure it's saner and more fun than dwelling on internal thoughts. Ain't knocking meditating and marinating none, but they come more when I'm bedding down...

Lost my triple-stacked Vonnegut book in a housefire a couple months ago. Cat's cradle and Slaughterhouse 5 and cannot recall the third title just this second. But anything by him is never regrettable reading. Fire took my copy of the Poetic Edda, too. It's got the Havamol in it, which is like...

Rad dude. I need another mandolin in my life. For fifty bones, shit the bed! Had a fender for years, first paycheck ever got. Hate getting them things. Checks, not mandolins. Cash is king. The liquor store don't take checks and neither do I. Anyway, glad it's got good sound, might score one and...

Crazy needs good loving, don't let one time sour you on the notion for a lifetime. A tomato field is one of the hardest places to keep safe, truth be told. I thought I could feed and protect my first wife in one, even going so far as to write it into my wedding vows. But the Killer Tomatoes...

Pegasus and ribavirin is maybe that Montreal treatment. Hep C is a concern, but since it's not really sexually transmitted, even if I know a gal has it, it doesn't make a difference to me having sex with her. But I wouldn't share a needle though. That price for solvadi is some ole bullshit...

Real anarchists argue with real anarchists about what real anarchy is. For me, the most attractive part of anarchy's always been not having someone tell ya how things must be done. Plenty of people are dicks, and their nature is to be, regardless of their philosophical leaning or system they...

There's a textile company outta Carolina, bandanna warehouse, they got some good US made ones. Quadruple stitched edges. Built to last. Just get a messa blank ones and print em up. Gotta assload awhile back, for dyeing. Felt downright rich with stacks of bandanas piled up. Next on my agenda's 50...

Hey there. Yeah man, the favorite thing bout traveling for me's always been there's no particular one right way to go about it. And it's right fine to be young with a big mess of country to explore, with an ocean on each side. But there's a whole mess of interesting resources here.

A half toothbrush to get all the grit outta the crevices between the sole and the upper part. Mink oil, for sure. Dunno what shade of red the Tim's ya got are, but kiwi oxblood always been good enough for me. And good ole spit, keep excess dust from drying them out to bad.
