This is our low tech solution to mobile blogging. Michael texts me a picture, and tells me to “blog”.

He’s actually been requesting for about 6 days now, but I’ve held off. Its his blog, and I always feel a bit trespassy when I come over here and type. (although I have no problems making various changes to everything else on this blog, like, check out the new whole roll)

And, his descriptions for what I need to blog about are one or two words at best. The complications of text messaging has reduced a man of too many words, and even more opinions, to the literal equivalent of a burp.

So, here are his burps.

I recieved this picture with the text “crazy“.  That could mean either that a) Something crazy is happening up ahead, but we can’t see it because of the crappy cameraphone or b) that Michael is crazy and how the hell did he end up in Pennsylvania so soon after promising himself not to return.

Next I received this picture of what appears to be the PA Lightning kids taking a nature break next to a funeral home. Michael’s accompanying text simply said “racin“. I suppose there is some deep philosophical message here.

This picture came with a much longer message of “Call me when u get a chance. Hard day today. Stupid dangerous, but all ok.” However, there is nothing dangerous in the picture (other than holding on to a car, but thats not even anything to write home about, much less text with two fingers and a numeric keyboard). Just a very happy, very big, german kid.

This one came with the message “Landis ruling today?” The question of Landis’ guilt or innocence has been reduced to a sophmorish practical joke played on the ZTeam.

And now, Michael is probably in Iowa somewhere. Seems as if he is doing Cal Giant the favor of driving the berry mobile back home to Watsonville.  I expect to maybe get a few more random burps until then.
