Winging along at an altitude somewhere between the Bluebird of Happiness and the Chicken of Depression... random esoterica from writer Chad Love celebrating the joys of fishing, hunting, books, guns, gundogs, music, literature, travel, lonely places, wildness, history, art, misanthropy, scotch and the never-ending absurdity of life.
Snippets from local obituaries: "I have not ascended the stairway to heaven. I am not sitting on a cloud playing a heavenly harp. I have up and died". Underneath a photo of a gaunt elderly man wearing a ball cap: "He loved Nascar and long-legged women."
