My baby turtle theory in humans

Dateline: 2022. Just walked out of a quick noon grocery run at Fred Meyer. Exited behind a mom of 6. Five youngsters walking, one on her back. I remarked, 'it's Monday, school day, no?' My ladyfriend replied 'they're prolly homeschooled.' Just yesterday, out on a gravel bike ride with 10 others. Perfect sunshine day for a ride. We were on a deep sand road, not really a road, more a trail through scrubland for ATVs and moto's. A pickup loaded with weird shit crept past us with 2 goatee dudes in it. 100 ft further another one came past slowly, goatee dude driver of course. Lady in other seat. He actually stopped next to me and said this 'why do you guys wear spandex...fuck.' Then drove 20 ft and said same to the other bikers, then another 20 ft and said it again . I didn't say anything. Almost did as there were 6 of us but didn't. My mental replies I assembled as we rode on: Why do we wear spandex you wonder? for the baby Jesus donde esta la...

Dudes breaking up with dudes

Do blokes 'break up' with other blokes? Meaning: cancel the friendship? I have, several in the last couple years. Most were long term friends, several years or more. Good friends. Let's discuss: Friend 1 Randy: Chums since the 90s. Often hosted me at his house when I travelled to his city. Meditates, exercises, has done an Ayahuasca trip to the Peru jungle 10 years ago. Big, impressive library, many topics. Ergo, he's an actual deep thinker. Reason for cancel: he's a Fox 'news' addict. Starts his day with it. This I know from his gf who confided in me and is exact opposite. How they stay together is beyond me. Anyhoots, our last exchange a year ago or so was over sms, him accusing me of 'being brainwashed.' This is someone who watched Lou Dobbs, Tucker, et al, aka the zombie horde, for years . Try to appreciate the irony of an infected zombie accusing another of being uninformed. Friend 2 Jim: Chums since the 90s also. Reason for cancel: His c...

Pink Floyd actually did met Wizard of Oz. I saw it happen.

Are you familiar with the urban legend of The Wizard of Oz + Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon? Dateline: 2017. Boise Treefort Festival (5 days of amazing, same format as SxSW). Final nite of the fest, Sunday nite. Boise Contemporary Theatre. I saw a play so profound, so outrageously ambitious, I have no interest in seeing a play again, ever. It was called 'T here are Chinese Tunnels under Boise.' But back to Floyd, Oz, and the urban legend. Thousands, maybe tens of thousands, swear it's true. This is a global phenomenon. The gist is that the two are perfectly synchronized. If you watch the flick on mute, listening to the record at the same time, they're in sync. I'm not making this up. Do a search on it and you'll also be pulled into the rabbit hole. Anyhoots. That's the background of this blog, and this play. Act 1 of 2 begins in a basement of the stoner Floyd fan. His 3 friends arrive: 2 blokes & a bird. He argues with his friends at lengt...
