The hidden writing on boomerpdx is in plain sight. But ‘plain sight’ isn’t what it used to be. It’s not that I use livestock viewing code: “M r pigs, I c m.”
THE WESTERN WAY + + +
October 26, 2023 by
The western way shows a solitary figure on a journey of self-discovery. That was my goal when I started. Just me and the boys and a dog. John, Bill, Stu, and Ruby. I would encase the memory like high-silica ground water does to fallen logs buried in mud. Except my memory would take three weeks, […]
SELF DEFENSE EMAIL WITH TACTICAL DEALS
September 26, 2023 by
Self defense: a response to threat? Or a response to advertised threat? You are minding your own business deleting pushed email day after day from the same sources. Then it hits:
PERFORMANCE DIRECTOR? WHO NEEDS ONE
June 13, 2022 by
Performance Director is a job title I saw on a professional sports team. Those guys need more motivation, more accountability, after playing a game all their lives, making it to college, and signing a pro contract? What’s that say about the rest of us? Is there an area in your life that would benefit from […]

Can gun awareness follow the Occupy Portland campers? Some there looked old enough for the ’60s protests, which means one thing: Boomer Infiltration. Boomerpdx asks if the 60’s people are doing enough for the greater good?
CHEKHOV’S UNLOADED GUN ON THE WALL
May 26, 2022 by
After gun safety class, there’s no such thing as an unloaded gun until you check it out yourself. Check the bolt, the magazine, the barrel, and check it while it’s pointed away from anyone. And away from yourself. Chekhov’s unloaded gun is a different deal.
GUN SAFETY NOT ABOUT JUDGEMENT: AN OPINION
March 28, 2021 by
Gun safety means good gun owners who know what guns are for and how they work. What they’re not for? Mass shootings in schools, churches, grocery stores, or massage parlors. What guns are for?
STAYING GUN SILENT IS NOT MY STRONG SUIT
August 5, 2019 by
The idea of gun silent goes against the grain. Guns are not silent, just the opposite. The only gun silent people I know are gun people who share the idea that the only person who needs to know if they have a gun will know. They aren’t into the show and tell, the technical talk, […]
GUN SAFETY TEEN TALK 2018, WHAT TO SAY
March 30, 2018 by
What can you tell teens about guns that they haven’t already heard? Don’t worry about embarrassing yourself by repeating an old message like, “Don’t shoot anyone.” If you’re a certain age there’s little to do that won’t make you an embarrassment. It may feel like you’re speaking a foreign language. So what is the right […]
DIVORCE NEW NORMAL: “WAS IT ANOTHER GUY?”
March 15, 2018 by
Older people, a goal baby boomers are moving toward at hyper speed, have heard more joy and heartache than anyone else. We’ve got at least ten thousand hours in each encompassing most every possible outcome. At recent bar stop I learned a whole new take on divorce for modern times. It came […]
