Hey y’all, it has been quite some time since my last post. I took the rails from Omaha to Manhattan back in 2015 and worked with some friends in Washington Heights for a bit, taking a job with the Javitz Center until 2018. I then moved to Sacramento by hitching the rails until 2019, working on...

With Trump fighting tooth and nail to get this election overturned, we should officially flush 2020 down the shitter. There will be no meaningful stimulus passed before the end of the year. The blaming and finger-pointing will be epic. 2021 surely can't be shittier than this, right? What...

Some folks at the Jambo said I should post some pics of the awesome house I've been working on over the last 6 months. It sits on 4 acres. The owner died and left all their stuff behind. The bank has a lien on it and will probably foreclose next year. It was vacant 3 years, but the owner only...

Not just that, but I also intend to hand a flier to everyone who gives me money while I'm flying signs, inviting them to follow me via my blog across the country. This may succeed, or it may be an epic flop... I guess I'll know that if I run out of money, or if I keep making it to the next...
