Richard "Woody" Johnson

A sometime reader of this blog told me he thought blogs were masturbatory. By implication I suppose he thinks this one is too.
Well--DUH.
And anyway, what's so bad about masturbation?

I love this graffiti from a Washington State Ferry. "Jeff" thinks he's being such a badass, defacing federal property, and then the next guy with a Sharpie takes him straight from badass to dumbass.
You'd think people would have more profound things to say in a public space, but no. We are preoccupied with meaningless details, with dropped pennies and belly button lint. Our universes are comprised of bills and dentist appointments and taking out the recycling. But guess what? The truth is in the details, as every writer knows. Give me "Jeff is a Dick" over Mount Rushmore any ole day of the week.
