A child of the Southwest and of the 50s -- a woman who knew me well once said, 'Yeah, the 1850s.' Generally culturally conservative and distrustful of new and improved innovative change. Very seldom overtly serious, but many a truth is spoke in jest and all of my truths are. Worked my way through UT when I was up in my 30s. If I'd, by some horrible miscalculation ended up in Bryan, I would've worked my way through that school over there. Have worked all over in printing and publishing. I've held a bunch of jobs and quit all of them but one. I am a journeyman printer and followed the trade and heard its dying gasps as it was throttled by technological change. I had a sponsored blog on a newspaper but quit the job.
We are in a sorta socialist arrangement about food with a friend. We make something, we part it out and give her some; she makes something, she's likely to leave a little by here. She had a good day picking dewberries. Bless her for it. At $12/qt, that woulda been about fifty bucks worth of berries.

Did you pick the dewberries, or did you buy them? Last year I had to pay $12.00 for a quart...
