The Tuckerbag: January 2013
http://thetuckerbag.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
January 26, 2013. The Man In The Street Is Fed. Favorite poems from one of my favorite poets. The man in the street it fed. With lies in peace, gas in war,. And he may live now. Just around the corner from you. The only thing he has to sell,. The power of his hand and brain. To labor for wages, for pay,. For cash of the realm. And there are no takers, he can't connect. Maybe he says, "Some pretty good men are on the street.". Maybe he says, "I'm just a palooka. all washed up.". Is young, hard as nails,.

The Tuckerbag: Day #4 and #5: Beveryly Beach to Newport
http://thetuckerbag.blogspot.com/2014/12/day-4-and-5-beveryly-beach-to-newport.html
December 10, 2014. Day #4 and #5: Beveryly Beach to Newport. It didn't rain much during the night, but it was enough to reveal the flaw in my bivy. Somehow, over many years of love, it had ceased to be waterproof and when I touched the sides (which is bound to happen in something resembling a long green coffin) the water would seep in. That's when we discovered the Yurts. I'm not sure why but Oregon state parks love yurts (probably because they're awesome! From the Desk of. Old Fat Man Adventures. Many W...

The Tuckerbag: March 2014
http://thetuckerbag.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
March 28, 2014. Life is like riding a bicycle; to keep your balance you must keep moving.". It's a rainy day here in New Orleans, although after nearly a month in the city I'm realizing that Southern rain and Northern rain are very different things. In the north when it rains it means buckets of fat drops and it lasts all day, but down here rain (at least March rain) means intermittent drizzle or something like a heavy fog. Down the road. It really is an amazing city. From the Desk of. March 21, 2014.

January 25, 2014. Things change. Life doesn't stop for anybody. How have I accumulated so much stuff? I seem to remember saying much the same thing when I moved out of the Jetta, but since I've had a whole room to fill I've managed to collect everything from japanese lanterns to book shelves. Of course when I move I leave with almost nothing so my mission for February is to get rid of it all (and it's been snowing so tossing it on the side of the road with a "FREE" sign won't work).

The Tuckerbag: December 2014
http://thetuckerbag.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
December 13, 2014. It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose.". Today I'm taking a little break from reminiscing about my hitchhiking adventure. I've been trying to get it all down on "paper", rereading my journal and sorting out the handwriting, much of which was written in either the dark or the rain. Having shipped my laptop to New Hampshire from Seattle, I find myself less able to make time for typing on the office computer here. And where is here? From the Desk of. So that was ...

The Tuckerbag: July 2013
http://thetuckerbag.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
July 30, 2013. An Almost Six Month Update. 8220;We all want to break our orbits, float like a satellite gone wild in space, run the risk of disintegration. We all want to take our lives in our own hands and hurl them out among the stars.”. 8213; David Bottoms. I just got a sudden influx of emails asking me what I'm up to so I thought that now might be a good time for an update. Thanks for thinking about me these past few months! Feet in the Ocean. My single tomato this summer. I'm so not a gardener.

February 12, 2014. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold,. It would be a merrier world". Today I reached the two week mark. Had I been a normal employee I would have given my two weeks notice today, but instead I gave it four weeks ago which created all kinds of hullabaloo. But oh well, the closer I get to the flight date the antsier I've become. From the Desk of. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Old Fat Man Adventures. Full Time RV Road Warriors. Journey Of Little Sanitee.

July 6, 2014. The Long Long Dalton Highway. So I caught the express shuttle southbound out of the YRC and honestly slept most of the way into town where I checked in at Sven's Basecamp Hostel. The first thing I did after checking in was walk down to Safeway, get some dinner, and sit on the bench outside people watching. You know what was the best part? Which I highly recommend if you're in the area. By the time we got to the brewery I was highly irritated but the beer was very good and my friend found a ...
