My New Project: Ride>Eat>Repeat
Read more: My New Project: Ride>Eat>RepeatViewing the human experience through the foods we share. I’ve been grappling with things for a long time now. Johnny Killmore as a “brand” isn’t really a brand. It’s job is to say “this is who I am and what I do, collaborate with me.” It does that job, but the identity isn’t the same as a brand. I’ve been…

Onto The Big Island: first views of Newfoundland
Read more: Onto The Big Island: first views of NewfoundlandI’ll have plenty to say about Newfoundland once I’ve had awhile to explore it. So far I’ve seen some of the far west coast and it has elements of Scotland, Colorado, Washington State, and Alaska. It’s mighty far north so that should come as little surprise. What has surprised me is the people. Everyone I meet is very friendly and…

Trading Islands: Nova Scotia and Beyond
Read more: Trading Islands: Nova Scotia and BeyondI’m writing from a rare space for me: a warm bed. I found a Bed & Breakfast on the northern peninsula of Newfoundland (NL) and the proprietor told me I could stay an extra night for free since it was raining all day. That’s the kind of thing that seems to happen on this island. People are ruggedly self-sufficient, but…

Canadian Coastlines and Islands
Read more: Canadian Coastlines and IslandsHaving been in The Maritime region of Canada for about a month, I’m sure it was a good idea to finally make it this far northeast. The weather alone works for me, with a similar feel to the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. Prince Edward Island (PEI) has bee especially picturesque. It feels like I’m in a life-size model train…

Finally, Canada
Read more: Finally, CanadaThe delays have been necessary, but it’s still a relief to have gotten into New Brunswick, Canada. The weather is most welcome, the fuel prices least. It’s time to slow down and get off the main roads though, so fuel economy will go up. The trip is finally in the “trip” phase and not the 2,000 mile commute phase. And…

Finally, The Journey North Begins
Read more: Finally, The Journey North BeginsThere has been a lot going on, but not a lot that’s newsworthy. By the time this post goes live I will be leaving Texas and making tracks northeast. It was supposed to happen in early June but whatever…life often has its own plans. I’ve made good use of my time in Texas though, on many levels. The main mission…

Hashtag Authentic: The Uninfluencer
Read more: Hashtag Authentic: The UninfluencerThis news is highly deserving of being told, but it has also already been told in detail, just yesterday. While normally I would just share the article on social media, the topic as a whole deserves a moment on the soap box. Specifically, the lid has been blown off a paid campaign to get MAGA influencers to call Harley-Davidson woke,…

Lent and the Friday Fish Fry
Read more: Lent and the Friday Fish FryGood day fellow humans an non-humans. Just a brief note about a post on my other page, Ride>Eat>Repeat. It’s from when I went to the Friday Fish Fry below the historic Saint Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church here in Bisbee, Arizona. It’s a shorter read than the deep-dives which make up the foundation of the RER website, with just a brief…

You Can’t Cross The Same River Twice
Read more: You Can’t Cross The Same River TwiceThe same is true for returning home. You can’t come back home, because it will have changed, just like the flowing waters of a river change with every moment. Born and raised in California, I have a lot I dislike about the general direction the people and government want to take the state, but I’ll forever be in love with…

A Map and a Cup of Coffee
Read more: A Map and a Cup of CoffeeI’m usually more excited about getting out on the road by now. By the time April comes each year, I’ve usually prepped the bike for the coming year, mapped out a general route, added dozens of waypoints to visit, and built a spreadsheet of costs and contingency plans. Instead, I’m still at that “coffee and a map” phase. It’s a…
