Nag Champa Enjoyer

Holy crap the foraging is good this year. Got enough chokecherries for a whole batch of jelly from one bush in my neighbor’s driveway. Tons of sumac berries and big rose hips too. And check out these wild peaches in Belleview Park! Delicious!

Boy howdy I sure keep coming across more places that seem to be blatantly violating HB21-1048, Colorado's "Retail Business Must Accept Cash" law

What percent of harmful parenting traits are because someone is trying to overcorrect for the ways their own parents screwed up?

@AmericanGwyn Blood Meridian: ends with the attempt to impose borders on the wilderness/wasteland. No Country: same place, ~140 years later, as those borders dissolve and become irrelevant again, the land and mankind reverting to their natural state of chaos and violence

@AmericanGwyn Yeah, interesting. NCFOM: the nation-state border of Texas/Mexico transgressed by the market state of drug trafficking, where the *real* power and control come from.

No Country for Old Men (novel) is fundamentally about the wars for the 20th century: WWII, Vietnam, the War on Drugs and what will become the GWOT. Underpinning the heist-chase narrative and the thematic concerns about chaos/order, randomness/patterns, is a question:

@LovelandLady I took this photo in Nebraska! I dig it up there!

@PowellsLeftArm You need a trip to Nebraska

The dawn of Septober in Colorado puts me in desperate need of a prairie road trip. I wanna eat biscuits and gravy from a gas station. I wanna stay in a motel that still advertises color TV. I wanna visit a museum with a room full of old sewing machines. It is time

@TBaublits Buddy you are speakin' my language

@jefbrr Well I don't spend enough of it at train-themed restaurants, I can tell you that

There are not NEARLY enough restaurants where your food is delivered by model train

@Conrad_Swanson Cranky readers love to be named Frank Spracklin

Just look how happy these people are to get their food delivered by model train at Buffalo Phil's Pizza & Grill in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

@RubinoJC Nah man, Panhandle, Sand Hills, Niobrara Valley, Oregon Trail, Valentino's Pizza, thunderstorms, you just gotta love Nebraska right and she'll love you back

NebrASSka, amirite?

@AmericanGwyn This would also answer why the Man in the Office hired Wells -- after killing the "mind ridin' bitch?" guys in the desert, it was clear Chigurh had gone rogue and had to be stopped by someone more trustworthy and predictable like Wells.

@AmericanGwyn I've wondered this for a long time. Maybe he knew the money he was chasing was far more than the fee he was promised, and decided from the start to double-cross everyone and simply keep the satchel for himself. Coldly pragmatic.

Okay: In No Country for Old Men (novel & film), why does Chigurh shoot the two mobsters at the crime scene out in the desert before he takes the transponder, the Ram Charger, & the Tec-9? They're all working for the same guy at that point. (pic unrelated to question)

The view from the tower at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, in the heart of the former Lowry Air Force Base. I remember when it was all old runways out here.

@WxWyDaryl That of course is also the general region of the mysterious drone sightings a few years ago en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%8…

Numerous pilots are reporting "strange aircraft and lights " that disappear then reappear move left and right near the Colorado Nebraska Kansas borders. Denver Center is taking the reports to pass on. The words UFO were also used. I have recorded the audio between Denver and a few pilots. Frequency 127.650vhf #ufo @foxnews @KDVR @DENAirport #BreakingNews
