A Bad-ass at Burrofest: Jim Duke’s Tale of Ass-envy, Liability, and Unintended Infamy

featured image for blog post

Is it possible to get kicked out of a Burrofest for being a jackass? I think that's what happened to me last weekend in Mancos. I'm really not sure why I got kicked out, but I prefer to think that it was because I was being a badass of some sort. I was told I had to leave for liability reasons. It's a little hard to believe that at seventy years old and while peacefully sitting on my ass, I was still the greatest liability in town. Pretty good … [Read more...]

Author Ron Chepesiuk Asks: Was the police investigation of Henry Wallace racist?

One of the big questions of the Wallace investigation was why did it take so long to catch Henry Wallace? After all, he knew all the victims, and he committed the murders in a very small area of Charlotte. Charlotte's black population, terrorized by the murders and frustrated by the fact that no progress was seemingly being made in solving them, were quick to put the blame on racism. They said that the victims were black and came from poor … [Read more...]

Author Lawrence Davis Says, “Sons Make Madmen Out of Fathers”

featured image for blog post

There I was, staring at a version of my book-perfectly content with it-with a deadline I might actually hit for once and this fool-hearty belief that I might actually be on top of my shit.   And then my son was born.    Funny enough, as seismic as that event was, life seemed to hand-select this window of time to throw a dozen or so more curve balls at me as if I wasn't all of a sudden juggling the biggest challenge of … [Read more...]

green and yellow gradient featured image for author blog post

Kyzar The first time I went on a large animal call with Kyzar, I was seventeen. Once in the truck and headed out, he asked if I'd like a chaw, which I gladly accepted, confident that I was a rough and tough cowboy and a seasoned veteran of tobacco products. He pointed to the dash where a large wad of chewing tobacco sat without any sort of wrapper in the hot sun. He informed me that it was Redman Tobacco but that he had thrown away the bag … [Read more...]

On July 12, 1976, a peaceful summer morning in Fullerton, California, just 22 miles from downtown Los Angeles, the peace was broken by a horrendous act of violence that would leave seven people dead and two others seriously wounded. The attack took place inside the library at California State University, Fullerton, where a custodian, Edward Charles Allaway, carried out what at the time was the deadliest mass shootings in the county’s history.


Without any real evidence, Allaway became motivated to kill by the delusion that his coworkers were involved in a conspiracy against him, were having sex with his young wife, and forcing her to participate in the creation of pornographic films in the college’s library basement. Driven by these untrue beliefs, he turned a place of peaceful learning into a chamber of horror.
