Fishin' With Tjames
 
You can begin with good smart people and an unbound optimism and in no time at all, everything can disintegrate. Threats and blows can fly; men once tame and meek can bloody the faces of friend and stranger. It's pretty fucking cool.
-- Mr. Bad

 

First time out it's a list; so what? Just read the thing.

I've been busy overpreparing for Burning Man. Here's all the dumb crap I have accumulated so far that goes into the big dumb "Smuggler" pullman suitcase that then goes into the big dumb Frontier Airlines plane next week:

  • (1) Labcoat, white, Spock Mountain Research Labs logo, nametag: "Tjames".
  • (1) Labcoat, white, no logo.
  • (4) T-shirts bought at Target off the clearance rack (good stuff! no logos!).
  • (3) Pairs of various short pants.  I say "short pants" because it's funny and I like it.
