Burning Cedar: Lightning's Mystery Revealed
http://burningcedar.blogspot.com/2008/05/lightnings-mystery-revealed.html
Sunday, May 11, 2008. I was driving to Selene with my buddy Shortcut. It was a long drive through the middle of nowhere, and he had been injured at work and didn't look too enthusiastic about anything. Then he sat up. 8220;Want to hear a story? He asked. "A story my uncle told me when I was a little shaver.”. 8220;I’ll tell you if you’re interested.”. 8220;Yeah, why not? 8220;He stayed in the water a whole day. When he came out again, numb from cold, all that was left of the forest was black stumps, ...

Burning Cedar: June 2008
http://burningcedar.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 16, 2008. I was at a pal's apartment drinking margaritas, and we were have a great time. He was. Getting pissed with me for throwing limes off the balcony, but other than that it was great. Margaritas are civilized. They're not like tequila puffs. Do you know tequila puffs? We ran out of tequila, but my pal happened to live across the street from a liquor store. Call me impulsive. Maybe I'm adventurous. Whatever character flaw you want to blame, I scored a bottle of mescal. Even a bottle of ...

Burning Cedar: What's So Fresh About Green?
http://burningcedar.blogspot.com/2008/06/whats-so-fresh-about-green.html
Sunday, June 1, 2008. What's So Fresh About Green? We live on the edge of a rain forest in the North Vancouver. Friends visiting from the city have commented on how fresh the air smells here. I know what they're talking about. I have noticed a crispness in the air at our place that is lacking on city streets, and even city backyards. I'm wondering if this perception is based on the air's make up. Are we receiving a health benefit from that? The thought is tantalizing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Burning Cedar: The Hill
http://burningcedar.blogspot.com/2008/05/hill.html
Sunday, May 25, 2008. When I was in high school the really cool thing was I owned a big, old Chrysler with a 383. I had bought it with money I had earned helping out in my dad's machine shop. One summer, a friend of mine and I decided we'd go on a road trip. His parents had a cabin up in Willams Lake, 550 Km (340 mi) from our home in Vancouver. The other thing we didn't count on was the effect of two hundred miles of steady drinking. At the beginning it was all laughing and singing, but when we hit "...

Burning Cedar: Be Prepared for the Unexpected
http://burningcedar.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-god-exists.html
Tuesday, June 3, 2008. Be Prepared for the Unexpected. Years ago - I forget the reason why - I went into the wilderness. I drove to the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Then I walked thirty kilometers through a bog, out to Cape Scott. Cape Scott is a lonely place. The bog is forbidding. It can only be passed during summer months. Horseflies, lots of them, circled me the whole way. There were so many I had to stop and let them land, swat as many as I could, and then run. I thought I would live on food fr...

Burning Cedar: April 2008
http://burningcedar.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2008. Mates forever, forever drinking. I was at a pal's house drinking Margaritas, and we were have a great time, even though he was getting pissed with me for throwing limes off the balcony. The limes are green, the lawn's green, what's the problem? Even a bottle of mescal, which probably tastes like turpentine if you're not hammered, won't last forever. With all the booze gone, we decided to go to the bar. Enough of this bullshit," he said, and stomped away. The next morning, he walke...
