THANK YOU, NOR CAL: Santa Cruz’ Eli Atkins was “in the West adventuring” and saw the Hodgman image above, and sent it in. Pretty simple transaction, really. Off a cardboard box. The lines sure are nice. Check out those wicked trees. Awesome. Things can be like this. Thanks, buster!

GO OUTSIDE, YOU UGLY FUCKERS: And when you do, make sure you are outfitted with Poler Stuff. Right here in Portland, people. Not a block from the DDC. Buddies. But we never visit. That’s weird. I might just go out into the street and start yelling. Up at their windows. Anyhoo, they updated their site and it’s rad. Go there. Now.
