wheat & chaff

I had the chance to pop up to Toronto while I was in New York. In hindsight, it probably wasn't the brightest idea. Officially, I was st...

One of the things I enjoyed most about my last visit to NYC was my liberation from tourist attractions. Tourist attractions hold a strange ...

I think one of the best ways to see a city is by push bike. You're able to cover more ground than you would on foot but, just like walki...

The highlight of my day today was participating in an insurance fraud sting. I noticed a guy riding the lift all day who seemed to be contin...

I'm obsessive about posting stuff in chronological order. It's getting a bit ridiculous because I left New York over two months ago ...

The coffee was pretty awful. But that was OK. I walked one block West and I was on Broadway. I had another (much better one) in my hand with...

I pretty much crashed as soon as I got to the hostel. I’ve stayed in hostels before but I’ve always opted for a private room. On this trip I...

One of the things that I’ve discovered in my travels is that I like cross-sections. I don’t like to limit myself to social categories (hence...

Last time I stepped off a Greyhound in New York City a guy came out of nowhere and grabbed my bags just as I was about to pick them up off t...

On the train from New York City back to Cleveland Ohio. This guy literally slept (in various encroaching positions) for twelve hours straigh...

Pics: 1. Leaving Kiowa bound for Ohio (Pauly's hat on the dash). 2. Chuck out the front of the World's largest truck stop (the I80 ...

I’ve always got my money’s worth from Greyhound. It’s generally the cheapest way to get around the states and, for this reason, you’re inevi...

Of the 75,000 acres of crop we had to cut at the start of the season, we've got 80 acres left (an area about twice the size of Hyde Park...

I flicked my camera on while we were moving to Eads Colorado in July. By coincidence The Eagles came up on my ipod and I had a road-tripping...

This is in Onida South Dakota, cutting wheat back in July. The serenity is a little bit spoilt by the sound of a tractor.

I've been going through the videos I've taken throughout the season. There are some random ones that I think are worth putting up. I...

It's the eve of the presidential election here. I've kept politics away from the blog but following the election coverage over the l...

Left to Right: Brian (foreman), Greg Thurman, Ali Thurman (Greg's daughter), Ann-Mari (Brian's fiancee/cook/crew Mum #2), Christian ...

Ron and I did some proper trucking the other day, driving 1,200km from Faulkton South Dakota up to Hallock Minnesota and back again. Ron too...

Physically, Pauly is a pretty big dude…he’s the first to admit this. He’s also an unashamed redneck. He gets around with a fishing hook clip...

The last time I returned to the Big Smoke I had a bit of an identity crisis . We visited Denver back in July and I found myself freaked out ...

If I ever open a bar it will be modeled on The Steeple in Orient South Dakota. Set in a deconsecrated church, its founders would turn in the...
