Craig, Zach, and Ed’s Unique View of Vietnam

Bangkok I hate the Bangkok international airport.  It’s an overpriced mall with planes in the parking lot.  A cup of coffee can cost $3 to $4 bucks USD, and I’m stuck here for 8 hours on the cheap route from Hanoi to Delhi, so making the best of it.  Leaving a new [...]

Moving the Money: Kartina Plus Five

Vanessa's picture in the Times Picayune by David Grunfeld

New Orleans    These things all take time.

I finally am bothering friends and family about how to make our fishing camp on the bayou abutting the Big Branch National Wildlife Refuge a mile up from Lake Ponchartrain useable again without rebuilding. A pontoon and pulley operation rather [...]

Meth and Abortion in the West

New Orleans In the up and down saga of getting the truck out of Laramie, my buddies at Laramie Time Company (big ups to Troy Trujillo!) managed to square me away and out of Wyoming on Monday evening around 6 PM.  I’ve rarely seen a more welcome sight than the sun shining in pockets [...]

Planting the Bullet off the Grid

Helena One hour countdown!  Coffee making, Times scanned (congratulations for an excellent and hilarious piece, Emma, on the Blago trail getting it in the shorts!), packing underway, and with great excitement moving down the last items on the list, as we count the hours until Rock Creek and radio silence and entering another world.

I am [...]

Radio Silence in Rock Creek, Goodbye Glenn Beck!

Helena Driving across Wyoming and Montana is a homecoming as memories and mountains swallowed 50 feet of truck and trailer, family and friends, as we gulped in the view, cool dry air, and good company.  At lunch we lived a highlight reel as old comrades and friends, Pat Sweeny of WORC (Western Organization of [...]

A Hustle versus a Job

Denver For several years Local 100 represented buggy drivers in the French Quarter of New Orleans.  Any tourist in the city has seen the mule driven buggies lined up in front of Jackson Square to give tours which are a mixture of fact, fiction, and raw personality from the drivers themselves.  In meeting after meeting [...]
