I’ve got a porter to accompany me as my\nthoughts meander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I found six choice cuts of beaverwood\nthis morning. I still don’t know what to do with my collection. Get a\nrig and tour it around Oregon? Can you make a living selling\nbeaverwood?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a couple of weeks I will launch a\nnew book, in serialized form, a memoir of my growing up in Oregon\nCity called Pioneer Pride<\/em>. It will be offered exclusively on\nthe blog in 500-700 word installments that will appear a couple times\na week. The book should run to about 35,000 words. I will invite\nreaders to purchase the book<\/em> from my web site. It’s an\nuntested business model for me, but I want my writing about my\nhometown out there and this seemed like the most feasible method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I keep encountering a shaggy black dog\non the beach in the mornings.nHe apparently lives in one of the\nnearby beachfront homes and rises early for a sandy stroll without\nits owner. He’s obviously having a grand time by himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have nothing but disgust for the\nprimary system that chooses candidates for the Presidency. Why has\nthis farcical process continued and Iowa and New Hampshire have this\nabsurdly outsized influence on electoral politics? And to think this\nwas a reform to overthrow the smoke-filled rooms and the party\nbosses! There has to be a better way. There is. A set of regional\nprimaries staggered over several months. Simple .<\/p>\n\n\n\n I feel like taking a train trip but\ndon’t know where to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My return to the construction job has\nbrought endless personal benefits. It even inspired a new country\nsong about a golfer. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n In recent days, I got back into writing\nthe kink modern Western called Meth Town. It is utterly a delight to\ncreate this novel. It might even have some commercial appeal. Imagine\nthat. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n A loud, obnoxious Trumpian drunk just\nentered my office in OTA country. I usually leave not long after he\narrives. He says he licked an inoperable cancer, a million to one\nshot, and survived to become THIS?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kirk Douglas died a couple days ago. He\nwas one of my favorite actors. He also wrote one of the best American\nmemoirs of all time, The Ragman’s Son<\/em>, published to universal\nacclaim in 1988. He wrote it himself and I urge people to find this\nextraordinary book. His story about his high school drama teacher\nshould be a movie. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n I played my first game of pool in 15\nyears the other day. I won. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n A great story about a horny, OTA,\nretired log truck driver drifted my way yesterday. Apparently he\nwants to rig up a projection system where he can broadcast Porn Hub\nvideos on an outdoor screen in his RV park. I may have to use that in\nthe Western. It’s too good to pass up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve got a porter to accompany me as my thoughts meander. I found six choice cuts of beaverwood this morning.
