…It was called the Four Way Stop because I apparently had only four primary interests in life:

1. I really liked the book “Are You My Mother?”

2. I really liked backpacking. 1998 Brian was going to graduate from Mary Washington College with a degree in history and then go work for the National Park Service.

3. I really liked Fun Stuff!!! The Onion was 10 years old at that point, but it was New To Me. And hilarious (still is).

4. I really liked my poetry. I’m not saying it like, “Ooh boy, back in the day Brian sure liked him some poetry.” I mean, I like MY poetry, as written by brooding 1991-1994 Brian. Maybe some day I’ll get around to fixing those broken links, but in the meantime, you can just read the titles and imagine the greatness. It’s probably better that way.

Rain gauge, originally uploaded by BWKP.

Made a rain gauge out of a five gallon bucket. It’s secured to the deck with the strap I use to keep my kayaks on the roof of a speeding car. Should keep a bucket on a deck during a tropical storm, right?

I probably won’t make too many periodic checks on account of not wanting to go outside unnecessarily. Better to just be surprised in the morning.
