Laura’s got me playing blog tag. Seems the game involves posting eight random facts about yourself and then tag eight other bloggers to do the same. I’m cultivating an image of a grouchy cur, so I’m not going to be tagging anyone (the real reason being that Laura is my only blog tag-worthy friend), but if you want to feel tagged, I won’t grump on your fun. In any event, eight wacky facts about myself:
- The middle finger of my left hand (but not the right) is shorter than the index finger. You know what that means…
- I sold peanuts at the Ellensburg Rodeo when I was a kid. I had shitkickers and a denim vest.
- I once completely rebuilt the engine of a 1979 Datsun 510 pickup truck.
- I’m a sucker for Prince, MJ, and Fountains of Wayne.
- I shaved my head eighteen months ago and now I’m scared to grow it back.
- I have jumped out of an airplane 460 times.
- My favorite fruit is the Jonathan apple.
- My least favorite form of foliage is the Juniper bush.
I figure that the average person, were she to actually read the above, would have spent upwards of sixty seconds, and for that I apologize and blame Laura, whom I love dearly.

Your finger is shorter because I smashed it in Grandpa Ward’s pickup tailgate; when did you sell peanuts?; 460 jumps explains the bad shoulder, ‘eh?
