In the winter of 1985 I was driving through the Mojave Desert with a friend, talking about our apparent need for new river gear. As we passed the Twenty Nine Palms Marine Base, a man unexpectedly appeared on the side of the road selling used ammo cans. My friend and I laughed wildly and quickly came to realize that the moment was "All In A Days' Karma". This blog contains the occasional ramblings of a died-in-the-wool westerner who loves seeing, understanding, and being alive upon these landscapes. I cherish the moments of bliss and irony that come to all of us as we explore the planet and its residents (and perhaps visitors) in the short time we are here.

The Home Country

My sister recently sent me some photo's of our homeland in Sicily. She visited there about 2 decades ago but has kept in touch with the Ricca family there. These are two pictures of the area near Santa Margharita di Belice.

It looks mountainous and beautiful!

Clever Birthday Greetings

I am just about to start a private tour of the Colorado Rockies with Jack Share from Boston. On a previous trip, we stopped to take a picture of me at the Wayne County line on State Highway 95 south of Hanksville. Using Photoshop, he was able to clearly change the word county to Ranney. Here is the result!
