Be prepared for this particular portion of our tour of Don Warrick’s life to be a little longer than usual. We have some catching up to do. Yesterday, I headed down the 101 through Oxnard, Ventura, then a hop across the Filmore freeway (remember we have already discussed the differences between freeways and highways) to [...]

Memories
I woke up at the crack. Not exactly sure why I do this, but it seems to be engineered into my molecules. I headed down Mission and got on the 101 going north. Destination – Lompoc. There are a few memories that are seared into the cells of my grey matter. One of the, a [...]
A Day at the Beach
Yes, California really does look like this. I remember now, hitting fog so dense that I had to drive on the while line with my car door open, just to stay in the middle of the road. But that was years ago. That fog seems to have lifted now. Metaphorically, other fogs will lift too [...]
Emmett Sighting
Unnoticed in earlier blog postings, this photo clearly shows a brand new Emmett sighting. Skeptics may assert that this is another case of a photo being modified digitally, but this reporter has verified the authenticity of the photograph. Furthermore, no clowns were harmed in the making of this blog entry.

My sister has lovely neighbors. They are Pat and Chuck, and Pat’s baby is a 55 Tbird. And this isn’t like that room in your mom’s house that no one ever went into, that had plastic covers on the cushions, oh no. She is the real deal. Pat takes her out weekly to give innocents [...]
Weary Willy
Didn’t remember his clown’s name until I read the Wiki which is extracted below. I didn’t expect any of the odd parallels that I observed between my weird life so far and the existence of the clown made famous by Emmett Kelly.
But since I have opened this can of worms, I might as [...]
Emmett Kelly
(From Wikipedia) He started working as a clown full-time in 1931, and it was only after years of attempting to persuade the management that he was able to switch from a white face clown to the hobo clown that he had sketched ten years earlier while working at an art firm. “Weary Willie” was a [...]
Hell, a modern invention
I am always amazed when a philosophy or principal of nature, or even when my basic thinking or intuition is validated by the universe. It occurred to me today that hell must indeed be real. It must be real by extension. By this, I mean that in order for somthing to be “raised” that “something” [...]
Jiggidy jig
I remember looking at the Google directions leaving Colorado heading to Modesto. They were simple. Get to Interstate 80. Go for 1035 miles. Stop. You’re there.
They were right! However, gotta say that driving in a straight line through the high desert can give a body a bad case of white line fever. I am however [...]
9:02 AM – been on the road since about 6…
Spent an interesting evening in Elko,which as we all know is the world capital for digestive parasytes. Or, at least now we know. The upside is that I am stopping frequently and this allows for more fun messsages from the road. Here’s a shoutout to Mikee Voll. Be gettin back with you soon…
