    An Archeologist’s Dream

    Acting on a tip from intrepid explorers Jack and Tres, I have located a mother lode of fossil artifacts. According to legend, a tornado spawned by the Great Blow of 2015 vacuumed up several feet of the desert surface, uncovering magnificently preserved fossils from the distant past. This vast trove will keep fossilologists gainfully employed for a period of time. Read more.

  • The Mojave Transit

    The first leg of the Grand Adventure involved a transit of the Mojave (pronounced Moe Ha Veh, accent on the middle) Desert. After departing the Oakland Bay Area and overnighting in Bakersfield, I entered the inhospitable domain of the desert, which, to the surprise of many, was neither hot nor dry! The temps were bitterly cold, dipping as low as 40F degrees! The rainfall became so severe that windshield wiper use was necessary. Conditions extremified as I passed through Yucca Valley; the rain turned to slushy rain and actual snow flakes. Rapidly devolving into a an epic man-versus-nature contest, the situation required application of all available technology and native driving skill. Ha! Man wins!

  • Vast White Landscape Discovered

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    I discovered an enormous swath of the Earth covered with sand as white as snow. I call it “White Sands” and it is right off US70 in New Mexico.

    As you can observe from the attached photo record of the expedition, “White Sands” reminds one of Tatooine, childhood home of Luke Skywalker.

  • Xena, Warrior Princess, Stashes Her Toys

    Xena, Warrior Princess, hides her toys in my shoes.

    In an unanticipated development, Xena, Warrior Princess, has opted to hide her toys in my shoes. When I first discovered a pebble, one of her favorite toys, in my shoe, I assumed some sort of accident placed it there. Now, however, I have found a micro-tennis ball. She clearly is trying to hobble me so I’ll stay home with her.

    Ha! Whole Foods has outfoxed the Deep State, which is trying to force GMO foods and water on us all. Stock up while you can. Special bonus: it’s also kosher!
