After having it recommended constantly for years, I’m finally reading Lonesome Dove. I do believe it lives up to the hype…

Some stars out tonight. So nice to be away from the light pollution.

Decent view on my run earlier. Turns out those forestry trails are indeed steep.

Just out of Bright

Ahhh, nice. Don’t mind if I do.

Got distracted playing Dreams. It’s way past my bed time, damn it

Arborist - yes, but expect to get absolutely flogged for the first few years. You’ll not need to do any sort of fitness/health stuff in your own time, work will take care of that. Learn to climb early, get in school early so you can be ready for the next step when your body gives out. Learn about ecology, learn about climate change. Learn about tree risk assessments, get a good spiel for convincing people that tree risk is incredibly low. Plant trees.

And just for good measure here’s some others from the album…

Poncho’s Lament

I’m Your late night evening prostitute

Had ma a girl

Man Tom Waits had a beautiful voice when he was younger. Not that his later voice is bad, just the opposite you know. Early = soft crooner, later = gravelly piano bar singer at closing time.

Case in point - Going down slow

But it’s at 8am on a Saturday…I mean c’mon!

Right on. Petition to start ParkRuns at 9:30/10 instead of 8am on a Saturday. I haven’t made my local one as yet.

It’s pretty good right?

Can definitely say the same for MrsCalhoon

Violent Femmes yeah… Didn’t the guy move to Adelaide or Melbourne or something?

… But what is it?

Explosions in the Sky

Space Knife

His later stuff is great too…

Solitary Man - American III

I think I first flew on TAA, from Brisbane to Sydney, then connected to a KLM flight to the Netherlands. Would have been about '83.
