OUT IN THE COUNTRY, A BIKER SEES HORSES AND PUFFBALLS.

I’ll keep this one mercifully short. I went out into the country again today with no intention of posting anything.

Strawberry Mountain

Coloradans will laugh at its insignificance compared to their gallery of fourteeners, but Strawberry Mountain is plenty impressive for us.  Topping 9,000’, its the highest Oregon peak east of the Cascades other than Steens Mountain and the Wallowas. Today anyway, when it’s covered in snow, I might argue that it’s the most impressive because of … Continue reading "Strawberry Mountain"

I’ve hated that dirty rotten disease from the first day I heard of it, and now I have another reason. John Prine wrote songs that were sometimes funny, sometimes dead serious, sometimes philosophical, sometimes thought-provoking, and sometimes sentimental. Sometimes … Continue reading "A RATHER SAD POST FOR THE APRIL MUSIC CHALLENGE"

THE LAST DUDE IN MINNESOTA, CHAPTER 2: The Holiday Challenge

The dude continues to pedal his bicycle — his only surviving friend — across the desolate landscape formerly known as Minnesota. He can’t think of it as Minnesota anymore because it has lost its vibrancy, it’s beauty, it’s zest for life. Maybe because there IS no life. As you may recall from Chapter 1, a … Continue reading "THE LAST DUDE IN MINNESOTA, CHAPTER 2: The Holiday Challenge"
