Richard Branson couldn’t stop smiling and praising himself for “blasting off” as high as the Soviet Union sent a dog in the 1950’s. Jeff Bezos followed it up by tying the records set by “Ham” the chimp the US sent up in 1961.

What the heat

By Kieran on July 6, 2021 • ( 2 Comments )

It’s fucking hot. 108 in Portland, 115 in Medford, Oregon. Those are typical for us here, where central air meets central Arizona. But now you can’t escape the heat even if you fly 1000-miles north.

Shit Doctors Say

By Kieran on May 4, 2021 • ( 6 Comments )

As a patient, I’ve never got to spend more than about 5 minutes straight with a doctor. Unless I was unconscious and he was cutting something out of my body like my appendix or the soft disc in my lumbar spine. Then maybe I can afford the full hour.

Saving the Salton Sea

By Kieran on May 19, 2020 • ( 5 Comments )

I sometimes worry about my mental health. I’m lying in bed and I get these manic ideas of social research about spatial awareness or even how to save the world. You know bullshit theories.

This is a good one.

Recycling is Bullshit

By Kieran on December 5, 2019 • ( 4 Comments )

The Bear was so fucking proud of the “campaign” she created for her 6th grade class using “Recycle Michael,” a tin-man like character made from “recyclables.”

…I don’t have the heart to tell her that recycling is bullshit.
