Western Roots All Mixed Up

[Ed Hurst]

Rule One. Do not take yourself too seriously.

If you miss that rule, none of the other rules make any sense at all.

There is some resemblance between what I do and tramp steamer work. The latter is akin to an "irregular route carrier" in the trucking industry, where I once worked (dock dummy, AKA "freight handler"). I'm pretty much on the irregular academic path carrying ideas nobody else wants.
