PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Seen on the River/Road Trip 2010: Benched

There is so much creativity out there, and so many different ways to be benched:

Warning signs of what will happen when you're benched for good.

Sharlie's Triangle was spotted in McCall, Idaho, and has whimsical frogs in the posts, and is surrounded by a dragon protector.

If you misbehave in McCall, they'll bench you in the ultimate timeout, ye old-fashioned gaol.

When you get further north into Salmon River Country, the benches begin to reflect their aquatic mascots.

If you sit in this final bench too long, they'll load you up and haul you off.
