Here is an honest, open and reasonably sober Hunter S Thompson, who seems to really click with the interviewer, making for the most glorious interview. It is a joy to see him categorize and examine his writing. He is immensely self aware and thoughtful. “The most essential gift for a good writer is a built-in, […]
MoreI miss those days when we would stow everything that could go flying while we drove in the class C camper, and take off down the road. There was a pattern to getting ready to leave the campground for a long trip. Billy was obsessed with having enough water. He would go and wash out […]

MoreYour passport and ID are both a boon and a bust. Keep them close in case you need to get on a plane, keep them hidden in case you need to hide your identity. It might be safer at certain points to ditch them entirely. Your status as illegal as your feet stand on the […]
