Today's reading...rather, rereading of Ace Frehley's 2011 memoir. It's fantastic, endlessly entertaining, and exquisitely written.

I saw KISS for the first time in 1977 w/my Dad. Millions of kids in the KISS Army did. KISS had the same bombastic effect on Gen X as Star Wars and Atari Space Invaders did. It's funny how so many pop culture experts miss this over and over again.

ICE are America's real undocumented workers:
*Pull their masks off
*Photograph/film them
*Record license plates
*Post it online
The future will hold them accountable.

Two days ago, we upped our hiking/camping game and bought a Topoak roof tent (pictured) w/riser for our Nissan Frontier so we can explore further and more safely the high country of our beautiful state. I enjoy trad tent camping, but the adventure of overlanding really stole my soul.

If Donald Trump is "innocent" of sexual abuse involving trafficked minors, then why does he need a character reference from a pimp, sex traffiker, and rapist doing 20 years in a federal prison?
We live in odd times when a sitting president can be openly engaged in this, yet doubt remains.

Overland camping in Gifford Pinchot Forest in Washington State. I've been here a week already. With the state of the US right now, I honestly wish I could just stay here forever.
