A Little Bit of Country

If... I won the Mega Millions lottery what would I do with it?  I would buy a large chunk of property out in the country.  My children would spend their mornings and evenings surrounded by dirt, and animals- and one MASSIVE garden.

Do you spend time dreaming of a perfect life?  Do you wonder how much more beautiful moments would be, and how much more simple things could be without the everyday issues of going to work and making ends meet with meager paychecks- going from week to week hoping there will be enough left over to feed your family.                    
                                                                                                                                                                                     Some day... I'll retire and buy an old barn with antique farm equipment.     We could raise chicks to have our own eggs, and cows for our own milk, fresh corn and tomatoes in the summer... and all day long to tend to our garden until the children return from school.  My babies will understand the meaning of working hard for what we have and enjoying it so much more because we made it ourselves, grew it, tended to it, loved and nurtured it... they will know how to appreciate all that is good in the world.  SOMEDAY!

Apparently, Liberals Are The Illuminati

posted 10/5/2012 by the Salt City Sinner Greetings, sheeple, from my stronghold high atop the Wells Fargo Building in downtown Salt City, where I type this before a massive, glowing bank of monitors that display the ongoing progress of my 23-point plan for complete social control. Whether you want to demonize me as a "liberal," or prefer the Glenn Beck update "progressive," we all know the truth, and it's time to pull the curtain aside: like all left-leaning persons, I am actually a member of the Illuminati. How else to explain how much power my side of the aisle wields in U.S. American politics? According to conservatives, liberals/the Illuminati control the media * , science * , academia in general * , public schools * , public radio * , pretty much anything "public," the courts * , and Hollywood * . Hell, we pretty much control everything except for scrappy, underdog operations like WND and Fox News, or quiet, marginalized voices like

The Garden Is Dead, Long Live The Garden

posted on 8/30/2015 by the Salt City Sinner  The last two times that I wrote about gardening, the tone was uncharacteristically less “playful whimsy” than “agonized demon howl.” This is with good reason. The cockroach-hearted fauxhemian Whole Foods crowd at Wasatch Community Gardens, you see, did a terrible thing to me and many other people – they decided that agreements are for suckers and that what the world really needs is another blighted patch of asphalt rather than a large and vibrant community garden, and so they killed my garden (and the gardens of many others) dead, dead, dead. Forgive my bitterness: there is something about loving a patch of actual soil, about nurturing life from tiny green shoots to a luxurious canopy of flowers and vegetables that brings out a protective streak in a human being, and also a ferocious loyalty. The destruction of Sugar House Community Garden did not, however, end my gardening career – heavens, no! Instead, I and a handful of

Cult Books: One Good, One Terrible

  I’ve finished writing a new novel (stay tuned for details) in which the massacre at Jonestown in November 1978 plays a pivotal role. Both to research it and because the phenomenon interests me, I’ve read more than a few books on cults and cultic ideology over the last year.
