A selfie of the artist as a young man in Oregon, 2007: Two of two.
In 2007 I went on a road trip with my then-girlfriend to Oregon. We took together-selfies long before I knew what such a thing was or would hear the word for the first time. (I assumed it was because no one else was with us on the beach, although this would later become a theme in Germany.)

Going away party: January, 2009. Two of few.
Keri (Kari?) making some kind face during the January 2009 going-away-to-Germany party.
As evidenced by my lack of knowledge of spelling, I am no longer in contact with her.
(I also have her to thank for many days worth of beration from others.)

The Oregon 2007 road trip; one of many.
In 2007 I went on a road trip with my then-girlfriend to Oregon. I learned I despised Oregon’s ridiculous speed limits (55) which I would hate even more after having lived in New Mexico. We saw some Shakespeare. (Mid-Summer’s Night Dream to be exact.) It was an enjoyable trip up and down the coast. As my co-worker says, woopy-woo.

The Tame Re-Adventures of Wabuska; one of few.
The Wabuska adventures, although slightly hashed out in various cooking columns for the Nevada Appeal, will be hashed out at some point in an essay or story. Until then, here are some of the tame photos from the re-adventuring, done solo. Particularly here is Wilson Canyon.

Celebrating my going-away to Germany in January, 2009, the night, and then morning, before my flight. It was a lucky night.

Las Vegas Portraits, November, 2013. Four of many.
Waiting at the Bellagio fountains, although why, I do not know. Too, on such a warm day, many layers.

Mum coyote
Elko was so fun to explore.

Car near Goshute, Nevada, 2012. Two of few.
The car was an unexpected and pleasant find. The meeting slash tour was middling. The drive was interesting and I got paid for the whole thing, from mileage to my time. (I was working at the Elko Daily Free Press.)
It all worked out.
Las Vegas Portraits, January, 2012. One of very few.

Car near Goshute, Nevada, 2012. One of few.
I trailed behind a government (Bureau of Land Management, AKA, BLM) and public caravan out to a site near Goshute, marked as one of the horse management areas. Shortly off from us, the pinyon and juniper were thinned. This, as a BLM guy explained, was one of their projects: cut down the P&J.
The entire visit was predicated on the idea of putting up a giant fence to keep the horses in their zone.
(Since it would go over mountains, rivers, streams, everything, etc., it was vaguely reminiscent of the fence on the border.)
On the way back, I stopped off when I saw the Car near Goshute.
Lake Tahoe in August, 2011. One of many.
On a hot August day in 2011, we headed to the Lake. (Lake Tahoe.)
Armed with a 30-pack of Miller Genuine Draft, (MGD) we parked way on the side of the road and hiked down to the beach. We used the lake’s own temperature to keep our beer cool.
It’s a normal 12-ounce can. That’s just refraction. Refraction and a minnow.
One monochrome, one not so.
Iceicles in May, 2012. One of few. South Fork, Nevada
Landlord left the water on in May. Taken in 2012 in South Fork, Nevada, outside of Elko.

Cemetery lights. 2013.
When I first moved to New Mexico, to work at the Rio Grande SUN, I lived with four other people, two dogs and one cat in a converted warehouse in Santa Fe.
I soon decided to make the jump to Española. Once I did, and settled in to my chosen surrounding community, I noticed the graveyard. The graves are decidedly of one flavor or the other. Either, those who lived into, at least, their 80s, or those who died in their 20s or before.
