  • We used to play stuntman on our big wheels. We had a hill with grass on it. We’d watch Evil Kneival specials, The 6 Million Dollar Man, and then we’d go launch ourselves off our big wheels into the bushes, inadvertantly finding rocks with our kneecaps and the like. I still have the scars to prove it.

    These Green Machines were for the fancy kids. I still don’t understand them. you’re using the sticks to turn? What? Why did they make it more complicated than a tractor? There’s no brake. You have your pedals. That’s it. Big Wheels had a big ol brake you could slam onto one rear tire, force a drifting effect or even spin completely 180 degrees around. I’m surely distorting the facts with my version of memories here.









  • When we were in Tokyo and SE Asia, we lost weight. The food is lighter, healthier, smaller proportions. The rice is not handed out like some sort of endless buffet. You get a cup of rice or whatever the measurement. That’s it. No additional servings of rice. Andrew Weil did a whole description of how cultures who’s staple foods (rice, corn, grains, taro…) have become more finely processed become more obese, across the board, as a culture. When it becomes fine powdery flour, it breaks down into sugar way faster. You’re not supposed to eat that shit for good reasons. Lifestyle plays a big part but cutting out all that junk food is critical.
