2002sep01. Cockeyed: How Much Is Inside The Stockton Tunnel?
2002sep04. I went back to Pinnacles with some friends this weekend, and we came in on the West side. Much more picturesque. The hike was shorter as well, which is a bonus in 101-degree weather. Then we went to the Santa Cruz boardwalk and watched change fall out of the pockets of people riding one of those insane loop-de-loop rides. I can’t remember the name, but they had the same ride at the State Fair with a different name: “Evolution.” Which is probably the best name for a ride like that. “Well, well, here we are ... ” I haven’t seen any mention of “fatballs” here on the West Coast, it was a staple of county/state fairs back home in Hilltucky. Let me crazy!
2002sep07. I have taken the time to write down some proverbs that may help you in your day-to-day travails. Do not look askance upon free advice; it may lead you to the best of all possible worlds if its application is thorough and consistent.
1.) It does no good to defend territory that is occupied by others most of the day.2.) The squirrel that sits on the fence and makes noises all the time will soon be the unhappy squirrel.
3.) Do you remember the broom? Oh, that’s right – you didn’t like the broom.
4.) The shutting up period of indefinite length will begin now. Now. NOW.
5.) That’s it, fucker. Bristletime.

2002sep09. If anyone knows of any source for clear photo pages that are around 8.5x11 inches and most likely have standard three-ring binder holes (though I could punch my own, I’m that kind of DYI guy), please let me know. I’ve seen some but they’re thick plastic quality overkill for professional presentations (read: “$”).

2002sep25. And now, the New Orleans Doctor Cliff weather update.
Today in New Orleans, we are enjoying a rare ‘triple t(h)reat’ of weather excitement. We are currently under warning for tornadoes, flash floods, and a hurricane. Yippee! There’s no wind of any sort but it has been raining steadily for over 24 hours and the ground is fully saturated. New rain just piles up on top of the old rain, which hasn’t been pumped over the levees yet. the expected ‘more rain’ this evening could well set parked cars into motion. A friend called to report that water had already breached the door of her car parked outside, and another call reports a television set floating down rampart street. we’re leaving the Doctorcliff enclave to head for higher ground – a friend with a 2-story place. We worked out a supply list which includes lots of beer, chex mix, and ammo. The only lacking provision (to be picked up en route) is a bottle of scotch.
