Animal Beer - Elk

In the early 80's I was working as a short-order cook, going to college and spending most of my money on flying lessons for a chance to fly jets the air force.

On my days off, I would go fishing with my buddies. We would drink a lot of Schmidt Beer. It was cheap. $3.25 for a half-rack. The cool thing about Schmidt was that the packaging and the cans themselves featured  animals. You never knew what animals you were going to get. When the cardboard case featured ducks and the cans  had elk, one had to ponder the  implications.

As a tribute, I am painting a series of my take on the artwork. You can look up the originals if you're curious. This is the first in my Animal Beer Series. Elk!

Shadow  Crow Well

This was featured in My Spectral Shindigs of the Queer West Show.

When I was transitioning, it seemed like there was less to hold on to. Every day was an act of faith. The foundation that I had built, rock by rock over 56 years was shaken and I wasn't sure if it would fall , or if  it should fall.

We all are transitioning from one phase of life to another most of the time. Sometimes it's so gradual as to be imperceptible. Then there are the dives into the unknown. When that happens, hold on tight, even if  all you're grasping is a shadow.

What!?!

Bison frighten me. We were backpacking and had a run-in with a mountain goat. Spiky horns, mean as a snake and about one-twentieth the weight of a bison.  So, I won't become one of those folks tossed in the air by a bison at Yellowstone. Not unless he can open my truck door.

Watching them (from a safe distance) they really seem to be in their own world, kind of day dreaming. They look so bulky but when they turn to face you, their narrowness is revealed. They look like a fish. This streamlining makes sense when you think about the wind they have to put up with.

Casa del Pulpo

I have been a runner for over 40 years of my life. I go through periods of hating it when I'm not loving it. After I transitioned, I became really slow. It didn't seem like I was running slow. It felt the same as always, but I was a lot slower. My wife runs about a minute and a half faster per mile than me now. We're the same age and I was always much faster than her. Not anymore.

Running in the desert is so primal. The only more natural feeling running expereince was when I did the Bare Buns Fun Run back in the 1990s at the Kaniksu Family nudist colony. That was pretty cool.

If you had a little place in the desert, you could drink your coffee  in the warmth of  a wood stove, hit the trail, come home, hang out on the veranda and drink tequilla and eat beans. This sounds like a good time to me.
