    Getting my own little workshop

    Working on this thing since January '13. Took 4 months of visits, applications, fees, appeals and an appearance before the city planning commission (to the tune of an additional $975) before we even cleared the land for the thing.

    New boots: Area Forte 4714 Boots

    Anyone know anything about these boots? I'm not familiar with the name. At any rate, an Amazon card from the in-laws was quickly spent on these bad boys. I hope they feel as good as they look.

    Wall Street Protests

    Anyone keeping up with this stuff? The traditional media has been rather hush hush about the protests happening in New York City. It seems strange considering how much media attention was given to the uprisings in the middle east earlier this year. I guess it's okay to show democracy in action...

    Motorcycle Poetry anyone?

    Reading my recent "Best of the South" issue of the Oxford American. There is mention of a poem by James Dickey (Deliverance), titled "Cherrylog Road." I have a feeling each and every one of us can identify with this poem. My god, the imagery is so perfect! If you're not into poetry, at least...
