Greetings, Anon!

I found Whole Wheat Radio when it was still a funky little radio station broacasting from a 12x12 cabin in Talkeetna. I had been to Talkeetna several times to visit my father (he built a cabin Up the tracks in 1972), and was looking for Talkeetna online, out of nostalgia. I started listening right after I had moved to Bisbee, AZ. The name "Bisbonian" was an epithet used by nearby fundamentalist pastor to deride those crazy, misguided people from Bisbee. I took it as a badge of honor. Toward the end of 2007, I moved to La Selva Beach, in California. I considered changing my name to "La Selva Beach-onian", but this met with some resistence among the Wheatheads, so I stuck with Bisbonian...Bis, or Bisbo for short. I am a banjo player, a surfer in Santa Cruz, and fly 737s for a major airline in my free time. I also have a little red biplane that I like to fly around the Monterey Bay area.

Hey, what's the weather like in Boulder Creek today?: Boulder_Creek.gif

Here are a few pictures of some of the toys I like to play with, including a gourd banjo and one made from a VW hubcap! I call it a "vanjo"....thanks for the inspiration J-Walk and 65strat.

Today's horoscope for Capricorn:
Surround yourself with people who are down-to-earth and grounded today. You know -- the people who might not always know what the hottest new trends are. These people have the right kind of focus, and you could really benefit from it. They will be able to help you become much more grounded yourself! Take a tip or two from a really mellow person and you will start to learn how to stay cool, calm and collected in the midst of the most stressful situations. You'll learn how to filter out the noise.
Looks like a 4 wheatberry day for you dear Capricorn.
