My Old Commuter


The sad post below made me think of this picture I
took of my old 64' Chevy a few years back at Fisherman's
Terminal. It was airbagged when I got it, but the rest was
done by me and friends. People could never figure out how I
kept all of those antennaes on the roof.

The Alaska Ranger



The Alaska Ranger, a fishing boat based out of Fisherman's
Terminal here in Seattle sank recently and all crew members
died at sea. These are pictures of the memorial and a handful
of the fishing boats docked at the terminal.



It happens every year, but it's still sad.



Think about this picture next time you complain about the
high cost of your fresh seafood, I know I will.

Pure class.

The Harpoon


Paint and photo by my boy The Harpoon, a big man with big talent. Keep at it Jon.

I've Always Liked this Picture



When I was a kid the local 1% motorcycle club, The Coven,
held a big party each summer up on the hill at our neighborhood
fireman's clubhouse. They would invite other M/C clubs from all
over the east coast to attend and I'd camp out in the front lawn
under our giant oak tree and watch them all role into town.

Those guys blew my mind and the impact they had on me is pretty
apparent in the person I am today. I'm not sure that's a good thing.

I Took this picture with a $28 plastic camera a few years back and
it reminds me of those fun loving, hard drinking, hard fighting
clowns I looked forward to seeing each summer.

For those unfamiliar with chopper junk, the picture is of a sissy bar
(backrest) with a bayonnet attached, along with a double exposure
on the film of a peanut gas tank with gold leafed wings and the
motor below it.

Where's the Love?



So I ask Leah if she had a good day at pre-school
and she answers "I don't like big people and I only
like my kids (her school friends) and you're poopy
(the ultimate Leah insult). I love you daddy."

A spoonful of hate with a sprinkle of love to take the
edge off.

Women.
