Airports and lowriders I was looking for cultural stimulation, and seeking a little bit of enlightenment about the culture I’d just been immersed in for the last four days. Airport newsstands are an interesting way to take a look at local plus transient artifacts. I had about an hour to waste before the flight, and … Airports and lowriders
Ticket in Cloudcroft. My father, Pa Wetzel, and his older Sister [my aunt] stopped through El Paso on their way back to Big D, and who knows where from there? They wanted to hang out, see some sites, cruise around El Paso, Southern New Mexico, do the tourist thing for a day. But first, a … Ticket in Cloudcroft
El Paso in the springtime My biggest fear is that I’ve got a spare cigar cutter tucked into my carry-on baggage. I could just see that causing some trouble for me. It’s been a long time since I’ve been at the airport early enough to get the free doughnuts SWA offers. But I was there … El Paso in the springtime
When the cat deigns to look at her e-mail, I’d expect a rude answer from her. It’s expected; it’s that cat thing, being aloof and all. [addressed to the cat’s e-mail]: :> I loved your movie. I especially liked the part when you reached :> around and licked your back. It was so unexpected and … A few years ago

Some frankly confessional material I can do without, at least, when there’s no paycheck attached, I wonder if I’m bound by … I’m giving up
Lamb by Christopher Moore. Irreverent, yet, with a hint of some really excellent scholarship contained therein. I’ve got a friend who’s a devout follower of both Eastern and Western traditions, \\i.e.\\, he’s devout in his Judeo-Christian faith, and yet he’s well-read in both traditional Western Philosophy as well as able to quote chapter and verse … Lamb
Last Friday night, I was in Maria’s Taco Express, a marginally legendary place where the food is excellent, plentiful and inexpensive. I call it marginally legendary because, for one, it hasn’t been around all that long, and two, if the word ever really got out, then they’d be slammed all the time. Going up to … Anatomy of a good customer
This is going to work just fine, I think. I got he idea while messing around with my parental units’ computers, networks, and all the toys they have. After all, Pa Wetzel is a retired engineer, he needs lots of toys to keep him happy. I suppose it runs in the family, too. Dallas was … This is going to work just fine
