Two Tales of Youthful Misbehavior

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Steve Towers

I need a break from the news, and I’m hoping you need one, too. I’m Carr-fire exhausted. And I’m exhausted by politics—embarrassed for our country regarding the latest Trump news: the bruhaha with his fellow reality TV character, Omarosa. I… Continue Reading →

The End of Independence

Posted on July 25, 2018 by Steve Towers

For more than 30 years I’ve been registered as a voter under various third-party affiliations, or, more recently, as an independent voter. I’ve always been the first to admit that more often than not I vote for Democrats, especially in… Continue Reading →

A Taxonomy of Gun-Humpers

Posted on November 14, 2017 by Steve Towers

I know many people who own guns and are responsible gun owners. Their reasons for owning guns are varied—some are plinkers, some are hunters, others are hobbyists. One guy has a magnificent collection of muzzleloader rifles, inherited from his father… Continue Reading →

The Inbetweenies

Posted on October 23, 2017 by Steve Towers

The local fish-wrap recently ran an article about a bill signed into law by Governor Brown that provides Californians the option of choosing “non-binary” gender identity when filling out state forms—a third option to accompany “female” and “male.” The story… Continue Reading →

    After an initial fistfight at the California Exchange, the men encountered each other again, and Shannon attacked Touzalin with a bowie knife.
