Teabaggers were protesting downtown yesterday because it was tax day. Wonder if they drove in their cars on roads (paid for by tax money) to get to Discovery Green (also paid for by tax money).

Last weekend at the BMW motorcycle rally in Llano a couple of guys showed up with the Gadsden flag and this one hanging from their tents. “Don’t Tread On Me. Unless you’re a maker of fine German motorworks.” I wanted to take a picture but there was no way to do it covertly, and besides, they were drunk and I didn’t want them to throw me in the river.

More on the moto trip later. We camped, and carried everything with us on the Beemer.

My Marquesan tattoo was chosen as a favorite in a slideshow by the heavily-tattooed music listings editor and art director at the Houston Press. My life’s work is now complete.

If “almost dying in a fire” was a Facebook status update, he would have “Liked” it.

After reading this Badass of the Week* post about Evel Knievel, I headed to YouTube to find footage of his infamous Caesar’s Palace wreck. Instead, I found this awesome little video.

Today is the 50th anniversary of statehood in Hawaii.

It’s not the happiest of celebrations, but I’m going to mark the occasion with a pint of Kona Longboard and maybe some Spam sushi.

Aloha!

Happy Fourth!

I will be spending all day writing, going through still-unedited vacation photos, setting up my new computer and then drinking a bottle of wine while watching the fireworks from a safe and uncrowded distance.
