In search of the continuous road trip
We just made it over our second biggest hurdle — we sold our Merit 25 sailboat. It took months, and it’s done. We are no longer boat owners … so can I still wear boat shoes? This is a question I must now answer. Here’s how …
I shouldn’t have to say this, but this is Raoul Duke. Goddammit man, don’t you hear yourself talking like a prostitute? Can’t you hear the lies you’re spewing? Don’t you see that’s all a salary is — a damn bribe for a job you wouldn’t …
The realtors we’ve met with agree on one thing: our place is going to be a screaming great deal for somebody. Why do I know they agree on this? They want us to list low, they know the market is terrible, and they see that …

So, yeah, it’s a good bar. It’s got a great selection of beers on tap, you can borrow playing cards from the bar and play poker at the tables, you can read a textbook here if you’re a student, or do Sudoku and have a pint if …
It’s hot and we’re holding onto plastic straps to stay upright. Every curve brings new squeaks and squeals as our train resists all forms of bending and turning. It’s hot. The guy behind me seems focused on his iPhone, but I’m pretty sure he’s eyeing …
