Long time out, but I've decided to keep my chops sharper. Listen:
On Halloween I took my dog for her last walk of the night and she (in her usual ditch-hound, gremlin, hobo style) snatched up a churro that was lying in a puddle of garbage juice or bum piss or junky blood and tried to gulp it down. A Churro, for those of you who are social honkies, is kind of a Mexican donut that is long and straight instead of circular, the ones that aren't found in a pile of filth are pretty good. She tried to neck down the churro and I leaped in to fight her for it, for a little dog she's a strong little bastard. Four minutes of swearing and fighting later I got it away from her and threw it into the street. All the while people dressed as Superman and giant dongs and whatnot walked past me staring and I was the asshole. I should have just let her eat that garbage churro. I walked home with my right hand high in the air.
Goodbye Robert Anton Wilson. Thank you so very much.
A tiger team from the parks department showed up one day and threw themselves slowly out of their pickup and took a picture of the tree and made some notes and then lectured me (because I was standing outside smoking at the time) about what a rare kind of tree it was and then left in a peal of rubber. As if someone down at Parks HQ specifically said "Jenkins, De la Rava, take a truck down to that rare tree by the Hudson river and take a picture and for God's sake, tell whoever is randomly standing there about the tree and then - and this is the heart of the matter men, so don't screw it up- leave very quickly."
I've totally forgotten what kind of tree it is, but it certainly seems like it's:
1) Aware of its own rarity.
2) Kinda in a sulk about that.
There is something very hostile and aggressive about this Jeep. Sort of a fascist thing, one of those butch SS leather trenchcoat deals. Darth Vader would have looked perfectly normal getting out of this Jeep. I mostly like the look of older cars -muscle cars, square old Volvos, Vanagons - and this captures a retro look better than most of the recent pseudo-retro lame offs.
Now suppertime you say, now wino brother, cars are bad! They hit people and pollute and use up all the oil!
Right, I say, that's true, cars are bad. This car seems particularly bad.
What kind of Jeep is it?
