July 12th, 2009:

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” must be real. At least in the sense that it exists in our manifest consciousness. Below you will find a picture of an old friend, one Mr. Tim Haapala and his lovely wife Karen. While Karen did not herself raise hell along with us; Tim and I, it can be said, raised plenty of hell for all. You’re beautiful my brother. What fond memories you bring back. How lovely your children are! And soon to be a Gran papa! – You rock my buddy. Ya done good.

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 grateful to have arrived a casa mi hermana. For the foreseeable future, I can be found inserted in the picture below. If you need me…leave a message
