I'm just gonna open this by saying that my religious views are more agnostic than Christian. It's been a long time since I've been to church. Politics got really ugly at the church I grew up in and my parents left for a new church about the same time I moved out. I haven't poked my head into...

It's been many moons since my last real gig so I'm excited. Got the bass all polished and looking fine, finished making patch charts for the synth stuff. Gotta go patronize the haircutter and then it's time to get this show on the road. Crossing my fingers that none of the new tunes suffer a...

The Prescott Fire Department is confirming that their hotshot crew was involved in an ugly burnover. 18 firefighters lost their lives and as of right now there is one survivor, no word on his condition. A very sad day for these guys, their brother firefighters, and their families. Could...

More news from post-racial America. Local news reports that just up the road from me a group of up to 10 juvenile white males fell upon a teenage black girl, first shouting racial slurs and then beating her repeatedly in the face and head with a hammer. Boys will be boys, amirite? She was...

No cover, the forecast high is 113, and I'm going to be wearing a suit, tie, and mask (it's a Fantastic Mr Fox thing). I'll be shocked if I don't weigh 20lbs less by the time tomorrow's over. Should be a good crowd though.

This story's a little personal to me and pretty minor, but it really speaks to the apathy corporate America has for the working man. My gf works for a national retail chain. They normally restrict P/T employees to 25 hours a week. Recently the store in the next city over (90 miles away) has...

Always knew he was a crackpot. Now we know he's also a crackhead. There's a heck of a story here. Murders, Somali drug dealers, videotapes, resignations. Sometimes you forget what a real scandal looks like.

This is remarkable. Last week a North Carolina bill to reduce environmental regulations failed in committee losing an 18-13 vote. On Wednesday committee chair Bill Rabon brought an almost identical vote up for discussion, but this time he had a better plan: They simply didn't count the...

So the other night I had one of the scariest experiences in my life. I'd taken a friend out on his first backpacking trip. An easy little one-nighter about 10 miles deep in a wilderness area. Found a nice grassy spot by a creek to pitch tents and make a fire. It was a great example of the...
