My Boulder Eating Guide

Best chicken strips in town, and also ever: Dark Horse Bar and Grill. I don’t know what they do to the outside of them, the skin, the batter, but it’s perfect.

Best fish and chips in town, and, I’m pretty sure, also ever: Backcountry Pizza. The fish here is somehow very heavy and dense. There’s only two of them per order, I think. But it’s enough.

Best burger: not in Boulder, I don’t think, but in Denver, at Alamo Draft House. Their Green Chil…

Two great tastes

that go great together. Who knew: 

[ also, I guess I don’t understand what “MoneyMarket” is. Is this a commercial? I don’t know/care. Which, yeah, means they’ve probably got me . . .]…

Lore

It’s one of the many podcasts I faithfully tune in each week or two. Glad it’s getting this treatment. Though, I wonder: recreations? Can’t all be animation. And will it cut periodically to some narrator? To experts? I can’t guess, but I’ll try to watch.

Also, the title always leaves me here, which is a pretty great place to be:

Carry On

There’s a line in Dan Seals’ “Everything that Glitters (Is not Gold)” where the narrator, a rodeo guy, is talking about his horse:

Old Red he’s getting older

And last Saturday he stumbled

But you know I just can’t bear to let him go

That always kind of breaks my heart. And, I’m not in the rodeo, but I am on a circuit of sorts: always boarding a plane for some other place. And, the time’s finally come to retire the carryon thatR…

Real, or Memorex?

I’ve always figured that the many-worlds interpretation was neat, maybe even gives some other theories a get-out-of-limbo-free card, but pretty much useless. Not because we’ll likely never prove or disprove it—that’s always a weak reason for dismissing a possibility—but because it makes all human action meaningless: if each branch-point goes both ways and I’m functionally making both decisions at once, just capillary’ing on into t…

Just Plain Old Supercool

You know that old Who song “Squeeze Box” — Momma’s Got a Squeeze Box / Daddy Never Sleeps at Night? Pretty sure it would apply nearly* perfectly to me, if I had this contraption:


* why ‘nearly’? I kind of halfway suspect there might be some sexual connoting going on in those lyrics, that I don’t think would apply to me and this contraption. but who knows. or: Who** knows . . .

** related: y’know? you tell me to stitch together clips from …

The Elvis Room out in the world

Or,  West Texas, at least, which, for eighteen years, was pretty much all the world I could confirm there was.
