The Lineman, Shifting Sands And Uno Lying Down

 November 7, 2025

   I have been reminiscing all this week about my land surveyor days and I realized I wanted to try and convey just how massive the land is that surveyors work in.

Daily Whip Out: "The Lineman"

   The truth is I often felt very small and insignificant holding a line rod out in the middle of nowhere.

Shifting Sands

  Beyond the Plains of Augustine, mixed-blood gunfighters proliferated on the fringes of tiny towns cropping up with odd names like Red Hill, Quemado ("Burned"), Datil and Luka Chuka.

   One breed of man did more to foster these legends of the Old West and that would be this breed:

"The BS-er"

The late, great Kristi Jacobs curated the impossible when she took on my studio many moons ago.

   She is missed.

   And, finally, a certain dog has a rock outcropping named for him, as of last night.

Uno Lying Down

   And once you see it, you can't unsee it.
