What Happened...Again
So, I'm heading to work on 635 and the roads are a little wet from the drizzle. I get to the 635/35 interchange and traffic comes to a stop.
I stop about 10-15 feet away from the truck in front of me and, as is my habit, check my reaerview mirror. Only, this time was …

Colbert: "On your website, something that disturbs me about you... you offer a song for free. Are you, are you, uh, are you a Socialist? 'Cause that sounds like Socialist behavior: Let's spread the songs around. Like a tractor that belongs to everybody."

Ode to Her Beauty
Kelly has proven to me, once again, why it is that she is the Number One Hero of my life.
If you need a picture of strength, determination, fortitude, wisdom, endurance and the like, I would suggest that you put your war heroes aside. I …

Seven Thoughts on the Debate
1. I am no more convinced that anyone has any real answers in this election than I was before watching this debate. Any decisions made will be choosing the lesser of two evils.
2. Palin looks like she's having a great time running in those circles. Maybe that's how …

No more Starbucks.
No more screen printing (unless its a big job that I can make some money on) in a garage.
No more waking up crazy early to sling coffee (which I …

American Freegan in Texas (Part 2)
I'd like to start by saying a few things.
1. I have not gone crazy.
2. We are not rich, but we are not starving.

4. We are not reckless, but life is too short to live by the …

Dad's New Ride
Though not part of the new Freegan experience, I picked up a new bike a few months ago. Much better on gas mileage and great for freeing up the car for Kelly while I'm at work.

My heart goes out to the Swan family in the midst of the turmoil surrounding her son's death and my prayer is for much grace for you Jean, and for your family.
To honor Steve, I want to post the link …
