In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;
“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”
I’m crossing the desert this weekend. What have I been doing? Well, click the jump why dontcha.
I’ve been at Thermal Club, outside Palm Springs, spending some quality time with this M2. And I’ve also driven a car that I like even more. To find out more, watch the newsstand. Don’t start watching yet, though. It’s going to be a while.
Looking forward to it! I usually read all of your articles online, but I’m seriously considering a subscription to Road and Track just for your articles.
Was the old man there to make sure everyone behaved?
Which old man?
Larry Webster
He’s gone… has a new job now.
I hope it was an amicable split, he was a good editor and seems like a good man.
He’s definitely gone to a better place. By which I do not mean that he is dead.
So is there any truth to the rumour that the real old man (Tony Swan) is going to take the reins?
No. If he did I’d be gone.

NEW YORK, NY – February 25, 2016 – Hearst Magazines today announced that Kim Wolfkill has been named editor-in-chief of Road & Track. Wolfkill, who was most recently senior business and partner manager for Microsoft’s Turn 10 Studios, assumes his new role immediately. He replaces Larry Webster, who has stepped down but will continue as a contributor to Road & Track. The announcement was made by Hearst President and CEO Steven R. Swartz, Hearst Magazines President David Carey, and Eddie Alterman, editor-in-chief of Car and Driver and editorial director of Road & Track.
I’ve never met him, but Steve McQueen was at his dad’s wedding, so that’s something, right?
You’re relatively close to me Jack! Are you still around the area?
I’m heading to Moab as we speak… wish me luck, I’ll need it.
“… sunny Powell, Ohio, where all the children are above average and there hasn’t been any significant crime or commotion in a hundred years despite nearly everybody being a super-racist, ultra-violent Trump supporter…”
Your words on TTAC Jack. Did you spend too much time in the sun? Is this an attempt at humor? Pimping Garrison Keillor? Perhaps you really are just a run-of-the-mill progressive after all. That’s too bad.
I’m voting for Trump.
I figured you were a Trump supporter, with the only question being whether you would stay in the closet or not.
I’m surprised the TTAC faithful didn’t leap on that tasty bit of Powell troll-bait.
Thanks for the poem. I know a little more now than I did before.
