The Arrogance and the Ignorance
We are at risk of becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance.
No Ephs or Cays
Back in the day of moveable metal type, this might actually have happened. But I’m not aware of any particular instance.
To Our Valued Customers: Unphortunately, a situation has arisen at our typesetting phoundry that necessitates my writing this letter.
Robin Williams & Carol Burnett – The Funeral
Hysterical Skit featuring two of the most brilliant comedians of our time.
Being Bill Bruford
Another true, hair-raising tale of mystery, intrigue, mistaken identity, criminal impersonation and more from my misspent youth.
A Tale of Two Birds
The Story You’re About to Read … Should You Choose to Do So … Is True.
Well, mostly true. To the best of my recollection anyway.
Introduction
Just a few notes on this project. What to expect as posts and articles are edited/updated.
By Way of Explanation
A brief explanation of how this all started, as taken from an email I sent to some of my family members.
When You Let U-Haul Do Your Home Decorating
Unless you really know what you’re doing, don’t try this at home.
At least not at your own home.
Some First Impressions Upon Our Arrival
Some early-on footage and first impressions upon our arrival at the Boise house.

“I went to see the fortune-teller, who said beware of lightning, it might strike.”
Jack & Jill Bathroom
The pass-through bathroom between two bedrooms.
Interesting arrangement.
Hall Bathroom
The bathroom off the hall.
I believe it was Kirk who said that, on his & Ken’s last visit here, the bathroom was sectioned off with yellow hazard tape.
Hmmm, why am I not surprised? Kinda looks like a crime scene.

Backyard Fence Post Repair
Working on the backyard fence posts.
Two posts were in bad shape; the fence panels were askew.
Fear not … we knew what to do.
The Roof
A few videos of the roof from different sides and angles. No matter how you look at it, from any point of view, it’s not in good shape.
