How the world looks to one prairie liberal living in the wilds of West Texas, being an effort to shine a spotlight on Our Dear Rulers, delight my friends and family, and entertain any passers-by who might stray herein. Recurring themes include politics, popular culture, the arts, human rights & social justice, environmental stewardship, and minutiae of daily living.

Born in 1947 in Plainview, Texas, I grew up there in the 1950s dustbowl. My mother was a schoolteacher, my father a farmer and livestock man. After detours through Houston for college, army service in El Paso, and the birth of our first daughter on a commune in Tennessee, I came back to West Texas with my wife Ina to live in 1977. An activist since my teens, I have worked to promote social justice, free speech, ecological awareness, and environmental conservation. I hold degrees from Rice University and Texas Tech University, worked at the Texas Tech University School of Medicine as a psychotherapist and instructor 1978-1999, and have been a staff member in the Texas Tech University Department of Biological Sciences since 1999. I serve as expedition photographer for the field biology consulting group of Texas Tech emeritus biology faculty member Clyde Jones, and hold the post of Secretary in The Whiskey Club, of which I am a founding member.
