Don't think twice...it's alright.

About Me



My Interests

Cats. chocolate. being among friends (really that's all that matters). meeting friendly cats on the street. trains & railyards. exploring fields, underpasses, ditches, dirt roads, tunnels, and other places that no one cares to go. military fashion. pinball & pinball machines. jukeboxes & 7"s. highways, byways, and dead ends. talking with other intelligent people and learning from each other. collecting 80's skateboards. squirrels, skunks, raccoons, and most all furry critters, really. hoppin' fences. wikipedia. walking railroad tracks. rusty old junk sitting in a field. abandoned houses and buildings, and run-down towns. wild birds of all types.
I am NOT interested in: sharks, sea snakes and eels (yuck), ironic fashion, Howard Stern, or girls who do coke or are shameless name droppers.

I'd like to meet:


Your cat.

I predict that "Marauding Injuns" are next (2012), followed by "Nazis" (2017).

So it looks like "Vikings" are shaping up to be this year's "Pirates."   Good for "Vikings!" No, seriously. I like them better. However, this power shift may fare badly for "...

I had a subscription to "Ranger Rick" as a kid. That's why.

So I accidentally found this park in San Pedro where there happen to be all kinds of rad animals lurking around. Most of them live on the edge of the park, right on the ocean cliffs. There is a ...
