Monday, March 5th, 2012Cookie’s 2nd Birthday
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011Two years ago today, the world became a better place: Cookie was born. As far as I know, that is the only thing of any importance that has ever happened on a December 14th. Cookie is better than I can possibly describe. How a little animal can be so sweet and nice and friendly to [...]
Cookie’s First Birthday
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010As far as I know, the only good thing that ever happened on a December 14th was that Cookie, Bonzai, and a few wonderful Corgis were born a year ago today. In honor of Cookie’s birthday, I will try to get the web cams running again. It’s tricky when you don’t live anyplace. I apologize [...]
Where to Live and Where to Die
Sunday, December 12th, 2010I have lived for 47 years. That’s about 40 years too many. As I said in a post last April, I’m going to coast to the finish line of my life. I have done everything I’m going to do. I have lived in Minnesota, southern California, Texas, and Germany. Now it’s time to think about [...]
It Could Be Worse …
Sunday, December 12th, 2010It could be worse, you could be in the town where I was born: Love that windchill!: -19 °F But, after you get frostbite, you can go to the Mayo Clinic.
Zebulon’s Peak
Wednesday, October 6th, 2010This is Zebulon’s Peak: I didn’t take the picture. I just got it off of the web. It’s 14,115 feet (4,302 m) high. Cookie and I went hiking up there the other day. We met some old-timers. I don’t know why they make such a big deal out of this crap.
Into the Wild – Part II
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010The 28 days I camped recently was very nice. Normally, I wouldn’t be thrilled about the prospect of crapping in an outhouse, bathing in a cold river, and sleeping in a tent for 4 weeks. But, it was the nicest 4 weeks I’ve had in over a year and a half. Sleeping in a tent [...]
Fun with Fish Heads
Sunday, September 26th, 2010One day, when Cookie and I were camping, we went down to the river so I could get clean. Cookie found a nice, tasty, fresh fish head. I wasn’t sure how healthy it was for her to eat a raw fish head, so I decided to take it back to the campsite and barbeque it [...]
Into the Wild
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010Cookie and I just spent 28 days camping at 8300 feet. Every day was beautiful and sunny. It got cool, and sometimes very cold, at night. One morning the water in Cookie’s water dish was frozen solid. But, the air was so dry, it didn’t seem that cold. Even when her water froze, there was [...]

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010Fish Naked: Cookie and I have been camping at 8300 feet for the last 10 days.
