But though this was a wild country, where it was unlikely that we should meet any living soul, there was always the possibility of a stray prospector or a hunter, and a dry garment in a wet time is a temptation which should not be put in any man’s way. Neither that nor the liquor […]

Near the end of August back in 2010, I published a piece here titled Being in the Wild: The Original Control/Alt/Delete. While I make no pretense that my meagre efforts are on a par with those of the worthy Albert Bigelow Paine (10 July 1861 – 9 April 1937); friend, companion, and biographer of none […]

This poem is based on my recent recommendation to some people who experienced just such a visit from the type who seem to have forgotten that the ceremonial disposal of missionaries was once a time honoured custom in some parts. The Uninvited By LFM Two people came to visit me Last Saturday at one. They […]

Too often, religious zealotry is the problem, exclusive of brand. As it turned out, the woman who inspired this poem happened to be a devout Catholic, but she could just as easily have worn any number of “official” mantles. Sad to say, this is based on personal experience. The Zealot By LFM Loretta was a […]

Profanity is not a true language, in and of itself. Rather, like a seasoning, it must be infused into language to enhance the message. Wielded well, and with proper timing, it approaches the potency of punctuation in clarifying intention and exorcising ambiguity. I believe most current Parenting doctrine wrongly eschews the Communicative Art inherent in […]

The Way of the Wild deals with Life, Death, who gets each, and when. For successful organisms, embracing this Way is not a choice, and of all things on the Earth, only one kind flirts with living as though this were not so – Man. For the most part, human society does not embrace Wild […]

Few things are more weakening to a culture than raising its children to believe that “trying your best” and failing can ever mark the end of accomplishment. Teaching that failure is a black mark on your soul. That it’s always best to play safe in all things. Bullshit. If you’re worth knowing, you’ve fallen off […]

Further to the outage warning we posted day before yesterday, as of last night, all our websites have been migrated to the new server. Allegedly, this should put paid to those pesky slowdowns and blackouts of recent history – a claim made more credible by the fact that it didn’t come from any government source.
