This Just In: Punk Rock Blues Newly Employed!!!

      Author's Note: I'll be continuing the 'Six Feet of Water' series later in the week. The evacuees arrive tomorrow. In the meantime I have some happy news to report. The lady I've been housepainting for these last few weeks just offered me a full time job working on her ranch. Stop laughing, I can so too be a punk rock rancher! Obviously I'll have no idea what I'm doing for the first little while, but anyone who's read this stuff for any length of time knows that not knowing what I'm doing has never, ever stopped me before. I can't tell you what a weight off my mind this is. I've been hustling up little jobs here and there while I paint these houses and was starting to worry about what I'd do once I finished them. Wheew.

      Anyway, I got tons of stuff I got to do so I might be out of touch for a few days but, mark my words, I'll be back soon with more reporting on the Katrina Evacuees and the sociological eddies in the time pool they are sure to cause here on the plains as well as more formless ruminations on subjects like Kate Bush, Elvis Costello and Suicide (the band, not the social statement).

      So everybody have a great day and I'll see y'all soon (gotta start working up that cowboy lingo, you know). OUR CROPS ARE SAVED!!!!!!!!!

carl,
Howdy! I'm still painting, should be done this weekensd. Really looking forward to getting started on the new job. I already know most of the guys I'll be working with so no stress there. Actually, a lot of stress went out the window with the news of this new gig. Gotta run as I'm STILL PAINTING THAT $#@$%&* HOUSE!!!!
