Sara and I spent the weekend at her parents’ house in Missouri, where most of the network TV originates from Kansas City. Being near the end of October, every commercial break was packed with political ads from Kansas and Missouri. One huge difference I noticed between these ads and the political ads in Nebraska was […]

Today I went to a gas station to get my Journal Star, and as I got out of the car, I slipped and fell backwards into my seat. The cause for such slippage? There was a banana peel on the ground. I literally slipped on a banana peel. In real life. It really works. I’m […]

I drove down 13th street today when some big machinery off to the left caught my eye. And then the giant hole in the Douglas 3 caught my eye, which made me feel a little stupid for not noticing that sooner. Pretty soon, it’s going to be a block that makes me think “Why can’t […]

I just wanted to show off this beautiful print […]

In my neverending battle with Cingular’s coverage area, I’ve had to send in another phone in the hopes that the new one will do a better job of picking up the cellular signal. I e-mailed myself the photos from the phone so they wouldn’t be lost forever (other than in the secret file folders of […]

Usually when I make a comment about the cartoonists on the Cagle.com cartoonists syndicate it’s to make some point about how the cartoonists are creating work that lacks any sort of insight, debatable point, or relevance.

I regularly dream about old, abandoned buildings. There’s probably some standard dream-dictionary meaning for dreams about old, abandoned buildings, but I’m 100% sure that my dreams about them stem from my awake-life fascination with them.
