Here are some images I created (with one exception). I think all but one of them have previously appeared somewhere, sometime, on either my website or my Instagram page (which I’m intentionally neglecting). Sun Rays – Midland, TX Railroad track – Fort Stockton, TX Mouse skull – Midland, TX Cemetery trees – Fort Stockton, TX… Continue reading Some Pictures, Old & New

Got Yat Yet?
Do we live in a wonderful time or what?! — P.T. Barnum (probably, if he weren’t, you know, dead) Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal introduced me to the newest kraze that all the kool kidz are jumping on: yats. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any more outlandish than NFTs…they somehow manage to do… Continue reading Got Yat Yet?
Am I smarter than the average goldfish?
I think it was Gloria Steinem who said that a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. I have no idea what point she was trying to make (OK, I do…but I don’t care), but current research indicates that she was vastly understating the piscine vehicular aptitude. Perhaps you’ve seen this video:… Continue reading Am I smarter than the average goldfish?

Progress Report: Slow but Steady
Here’s a quick update on the status of the transition of the Fire Ant Gazette to WordPress. It’s been tedious, frustrating, and occasionally fascinating.

I don’t know if I’ll keep that drop cap thing; I’ll be experimenting with a lot of different style options, and some won’t make the grade. The drop cap seems a bit pretentious, doesn’t it? One thing… Continue reading The transition begins…
Random Thursday: The Exaggerated Death Reports Edition
I’m baaaaacccckkkkk! I started to ask you to raise your hand if you went through the five stages of grief when you discovered the Gazette was offline and possibly deceased, but then I realized that the response would probably send me down the path of those five stages all over again. You might think that… Continue reading Random Thursday: The Exaggerated Death Reports Edition
Dueling Bozos [A working title] (Ha! More like a shirking title, amirite?)
The sum of two halfwits isn’t what you think.
Well, maybe it is.
ARCO Corporate Artwork Collection: Yet Another Auction
The Gazette once again seems to be a clearinghouse of sorts for news regarding the massive collection of artwork assembled by Atlantic Richfield Company (“ARCO”). I recently received an email from a representative of Jeff Martin Auctioneers Inc. announcing an online auction of a number of pieces formerly owned by ARCO. Hi Eric, I found… Continue reading ARCO Corporate Artwork Collection: Yet Another Auction
