She’s the bestest.
Happiness, welcome heavy ghosts, and Neutral Milk Hotel
Caidy took this picture and I love the blurry darkness since it matches my feeling of joy and melancholy watching them play.
I felt good heavy weight of love for people I know would be there in spirit if such things were possible. Happiness and thanks for such wonderful artists. It was nice to see them again.
Dancing with refrigerators? (read the fine print)

Lundi Gras is Bacon
Lundi Gras is Bacon. Awesome first try with beef and bacon hickory smoke grilled burgers topped with bacon.
Free-range Chickens – K8 & Jess On the Road
I did warn her that it would end up on-line at some point.
Last year we rented a van to pick up stuff from Tioga and help my parents move. The van was one of those kidnapper models; big, noisy, and with a badly functioning radio. I have always loved conversations with Caidy, so on this trip I did one of those evil husband-friend things. I recorded our boring ride on my phone.
I was recently reminded of this part which takes place as we pass through Lafayette, Louisiana heading south on HWY 90 (I-49). If you don’t know, this is a busy urban road planned to be a future interstate going through a decent sized town. Not the sort of place where you would expect to see several chickens living the dream. Enjoy!
