We love turn-of-the-century architecture and period hotels are a great way to connect with the vibe. Here are two images from the Plaza Hotel, on the Plaza in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The Plaza is 142 years old and some areas smell a bit musty, but that’s part of the charm, it reminds me of

Out There
Most of my best-loved activities take place outside. Before the internet, I read numerous magazines and periodicals; many were about doing things outside — one of my favorite magazines used “Outside” as its name. I don’t spend much time reading magazines anymore, the world has been digitalized. Another thing that’s not getting near as much

Dirt Road Diary #17
I peddled 50 miles on the dirt roads the last two mornings, which put me over the hundred-mile mark for the week. The weather is supposed to be cooler going forward, and after a week or two of temperatures around the century mark, I’m jacked about that. We got a nice thunderstorm yesterday that brought

“Capitol Hill is an assisted living facility for psychopaths. It’s where people who receive sexual gratification from dropping military explosives on civilians go to wait for the sweet embrace of death. The whole place smells like night terrors and urine.” ~ Caitlin Johnstone

Wheat is in our blood though and the harvest is on, so that’s the focus of “Two For Tuesday,” this week. Never Stop Exploring!
