We got the beans on and some cowperson coffee warmin’ the kettle. At high noon today MT (MY Time, no silly Mountain Time) we have our next installment of Western106 High Noon Radio. Don’t know …
I’m not a futurist, but I can see about 45 days into the future something new and exciting. And yes, from the image above, this as a “c” and a “c” into it. Do not ask about the symbolism of the cuts on my hand, that was done earlier with a sharp bread knife and […]
The western landscape is full of emptiness, vast stretches of drab land, interrupted by deep canyons or sheer mountains, and infrequent water. My reasons for recently watching The Painted Desert was largely because it was set in an area close to where I live. I had it queued on Amazon Prime; a lesser quality version […]
It’s been a while since I got heated up about catfishing, the bizarre phenomena where apparently groups of poor folks in third world countries find a way to scam, lonely people via fake social media profiles using my photos (when they tire of using Alec) to round out their fake persona.

Look how excited people are in that left side ad to see “instant” photos. This Polaroid Land Camera, the Automatic 210 belonged […]
During this week’s Western 106 High Noon Radio Show, I was talking about my interest in the western films and stories that are situated in and beyond the end of the era, Not that there is a firm line, but films like The Shootist, Lonely Are The Brave the cowboy figure is a bit of […]
I am dothing away with flickr video embeds
I love this framed print, it’s in my office now. I am fairly sure it was something my ex found as we did yard sales in Scottsdale, she was super good at finding such treasures. “How The West Was Lost” is just dripping with symbolism and icons and mostly irony. All the stuff I love.You’ve […]
