Dear Reddit. I have started writing a book of short stories about my life as a hobo. True to my nature of blowing money faster than it came, or blowing the opportunity of even making it, I love you assholes and will let you read the book for free as I write it from the beginning. Enjoy

Chapter One: Bozeman or Bust (lots of bust)
I had done it once again, like so many other years before, by traveling north to one of the harshest and coldest states that a hobo could possibly go to during the dead of winter, late-January 2021: Mon-fucking-tana. Or as the locals jokingly say, "Montucky". (edit: Shout-out to Montucky Cold Snacks, the cheap horse-piss watered down beer that is Montana's equivalent of Washington's "Rainier Ale" or Oregon's "Session Lager"). I digress.
If I was a goose, I'd surely be the Jonathan Livingston Seagull of the flock…the black sheep shitshow of a goose flying in the completely wrong direction at the worst time of the year. As forementioned, this was not the first time, nor second time, that I've done this. In fact, it's become a habit, if not straight-up routine.
Laramie, Wyoming circa November 2016. Glendive, Montana circa January 2015 Minot, North Dakota circa January 2014. Yukon, Canada circa November 2013. Bellingham, Washington circa January 2006. The list goes on, and on, and on…
And here I am. Bozeman Fucking Montana, circa January-February 2021. The locals say it's an unusually warm winter, which by Montana's standards might include 5 inches of snow in the afternoon and temperatures dropping below 10F degrees at night. However, according to the high standards of a low-class hobo born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, this weather is colder than a witches tit.
Now, that's not to say that I ain't prepared though. I assure you that I am. Sixteen years of living on the road and rails has made this black goose a well-seasoned bird, with all the trimmings. I have a military sleeping bag that can keep me alive down to negative 30 temperatures. My military backpack is waterproof, and so are the snowboarding pants that I wear under my insulated Carharrt overalls. I have alpaca wool thermal pants, merino wool socks, thermolite waterproof boots, thinsulated gloves, and several wool and polyster beanie hats. My dual-layer mountaineering tent can withstand hurricane-force winds and all the snow that a blizzard can muster.
Winter? Montana? Bring it bitch. Hit me with your best shot. You know I like it. wink
Sigh. However, DESPITE the freezing temperatures and shit tons of snow, there's a lil secret that I've learned during my many years of traveling, and that secret is certainly DUE to these wintery conditions: Jobs! Lots and lots and lots and lots of jobs! Jobs here, jobs there, jobs every-fucking-where. Hotel jobs, restaurant jobs, retail jobs, construction jobs, maintenance jobs, driving jobs, even jobs just to help other people get more damn jobs!
You want a job during winter? Well they got jobs out northern Californie way, Oregonie way, Montanie way, Washingtonie way, North and South Dakotie way, and every which way can go above above the Mason-Dixon line!
If you can't find a damn job in the Northwestern United States of America during winter, you ain't fucking looking, and that's a fact. If you got one arm and you can swing a hammer, or punch a number on a cash register, then consider yourself hired on the spot and you can start today.
Before this chapter turns into an entire damn book of its own (A Hobo's Guide to Finding Jobs) let's get back to the story here: Bozeman or Bust.
As I begin this chapter, I have a red-wine hangover that is enough to drive me to a bullet in the head. I made a pot of coffee only to puke it back up on my hands and knees in front the porcelain thrown. I think it was good ole Earnest Hemingway that once said "Write Drunk, Edit Sober". Experienced words of wisdom from a fine man that knew everything a man could possibly know about drinking shit tons of wine and writing shit tons of stories. I wouldn't be lying if I was to confess that Mr. Hemingway, along with Mr. Steinbeck and Mr. Twain, are drunken heroes of mine that I could only hope someday to sit alongside in the bookstores of Hell and Hades with a gallon of cheap Merlot. Salut, gentleman.
After puking, rolling cigarettes, drinking coffee, and puking several times more, I was finally able to sit down to try and remember what-the-fuck happened yesterday; a solemn meditation technique that involves tons of coffee and contemplation; a time to worship the asinine achievements that are accompanied in both rejoice and regret.
Yesterday started off sober as a saint. I had a job interview at this place I had found on craigslist, some place looking for fresh warm bodies to fill up their production-assembly line. I took a bus to the address they had given me, which ended up being the adress to the Bozeman City Bank.
"A bank?", I thought, as I wondered around the parking lot dumbfounded and confused for a solid 5 minutes, checking the address several times on my phone, wondering why on earth I've been sent to a state bank. After circling the parking lot, I noticed a door on the side of the bank that said "Job Choices Employment Services: Second Floor".
Godammit. I had been fucking conned. Fucking craigslist. I know what's going on here…this a goddamn employment agency that wants to take 10-15 percent of my paycheck, take away my rights to healthcare and benefits, in the so-called promise of finding me a "great career path of opportunity".
Employment agencies. Just like rats. The only "opportunity" here was them: Creatures of opportunity, parasites hellbent on scavaging peoples money and benefits. "A not-even-close-to-great career path of 9-5 slave-labor bullshit involving years of suckling away your mind, body, and spirit", the sign on the door should have read.
This was definitely a mistake. And anyone that has ever had the unfortunate pleasure of being with me can you tell one thing about me: I fucking love mistakes. I love making them, and I love learning from them. I am a walking-talking connoisseur of mistakes. In fact, I just made a mistake trying to spell connoisseur, so I asked Google "Hey Google, spell connoisseur", and due to lack of interpreting my Alabama accent, Google made the mistake of showing me the word Coitus. I have now learned that the word "coitus" is another word for sex. As a writer and the son of an English teacher, I love learning new words. As a human male, I love sex. So learning a new word for "sex" is a fantastic trade-off for that fortunate mistake!
I digress.
I decided to walk into the bank, up the stairs to the second floor, and down the hall to the employment agency. A well-dressed and very sexy debutant by the name of Tracy stood up and greeted me with a smile that was formal, professional, and admittedly very sexy.
While my dirty mind started playing cheap porn music, along with vivid images of me and Tracy wrecking that office like wild alleycats, I was suddenly snapped back into reality with Tracy's sexy voice, saying:
"Hey, you must be Mr. Huck! Are you here for the 3:00 o'clock interview? Could you please start by filling out this application? You can have a seat over at the desk here"…
Godammit. This employment agency was GOOD. I was Tracy's submissive little slut. I walked right where Tracy told me to walk, sat right in the chair Tracy pulled out for me to sit in, and I started filling out the application with the ballpoint pen that Tracy had somehow put in my hand without me even realizing it. Tracy could have stolen my wallet and the 11 dollars inside of it as well, had she wanted to, and I wouldn't have even noticed. And even if I had noticed, I would have let her do it anyway. Godammit!
As I started to fill out the application, I got to the section I dreaded most: job references. Oh boy…allow me to tell you a little about Huck's references, or lacktherof:
At my last job, I was fired because of a fight that broke-out between my ex-girlfriend and myself, which began with lots of shouting and shoving, and ended with me getting a black-eye from being punched in the face twice. Fun fact: Italian women are fiery as they are fierce, and bold as they are beautiful. And just like their male Italian counterparts, such as Sylvester Stalone or Al Capone, they know how to land a solid right jab. This fight erupted in the worker's dormitory for all employees to hear and see. And although I was the one with the swollen black eye, I was the one they decided to fire. C'est la vie, such is life. Que sera sera, it be what it fucking be.
We can scratch that job off as a reference, without a doubt.
The job before that, I was at a marijuana farm called "Great American Cannabis", in which my managers and co-workers tried to recruit me into a far-right group of sexist and racist baboons called "The Proud Boys".
There was a pre-determining factor in why that farm had hired me, and assumed I would be interested in their idealogical gang. That pre-determing factor was the very same factor that led Google to teaching me the wrong word and definition: my Alabama accent.
Great American Cannabis had hired me based on a phone interview, in which they assumed my southern accent indicated two things, in which case one of their assumptions was right, and one was wrong:
Assumption Numero Uno: Huck has an Alabama accent, which therefore indicates that he has years of experience working on farms, growing plants, and being an honest and hard-worker.
Assumption Numero Dos: Huck has an Alabama accent, therefore he must be idealogically aligned with far-right beliefs including sexism and racism.
Welp, I am proud to say that even that although a 50% winning percentage may be fine and dandy with gambling in Vegas, and can be seen as half full or half empty based on however optimisitic or pessimistic you might be, in the case of Great American Cannabis and The Proud Boys, those odds ended pretty badly.
As it turns out, despite being raised by a racist father and surrounded by bigotry in the not-so-sweet home of Alabama, those very dispositions made this black sheep child rebel from such ass-backward beliefs, and I am staunchly pro-civil rights, which means I am pro-immigration, and a proud supporter of the sufferage movement for womens right.
Obviously, that did not go very well with my co-workers at the farm, and I was fired within the first month. But wait, theres more tragic humor to the story of this farm, which I'll organize in two keypoints:
Keypoint Numero Uno: The farm was owned by Iranian immigrants. I…shit…you…not. That's right. YOU DID READ THAT CORRECTLY. Not only was the farm owned and managed by a minority group of immigrants, those very immigrants came directly from the very country is at the VERY TOP of White-America's shitlist: Iran.
Keypoint Numeros Dos: After I was fired based almost entirely according to my leftist and progressive views on race and gender equality, within just a couple of weeks nearly everybody on the farm was fired and replaced by cheaper immigrant labor in the form of Laotian women. That's right…a white-blooded American-born legal-working male, was replaced by brown-blooded, foreign-born, mostly-illegal-working females, on a farm owned and managed by right-wing racists and sexists that were anti-immigration. Once again, I…shit…you…fucking…not...let THAT shit sink in.
I literally cannot make this shit up, and let it be forever proof that reality, however tragic or ironic it may be, is far greater than fiction. You can write that last sentence in a letter, shove that puppy in an envelope, slap that bitch with a stamp, and mail it to the fucking MOON. Or you can mail it to Iran, or Laos, whichever you prefer.
However, I digress.
So, being that I was fired from Great American Cannabis by a bunch of Iranian Proud Boys, you can scratch that job off of the "reference" list as well. Sigh.
So, how about the job before that? Well, that's a hell of a story too, but I'll make it quick and cut shorter to the chase:
I worked on a fishing boat for a Mormon captain. Although I loved him like a Dad, and he often treated me like a son, my job ended in these words:
"Huck, I really like you. You're one of the hardest working deckhands I've ever had, despite it being a very terrible year for fishing. However, as a man that is a Latter Day Saint of God, as a Mormon, I'm going to have to ask you to leave because of three reasons:
1) You smoke cigarettes, marijuana, and drink alcohol and coffee.
2) You curse worse than a sailor.
3) You are an atheist/agnostic."
And in case you, the reader did not know: Mormons HATE cigarettes, marijuana, alcohol, AND coffee. They are forbidden to curse, and they are not even allowed to tolerate the company of anyone that isn't a believer in God.
Well Godammit. How in the hell am I so goddamn misfortunate and unlucky, to be the must FIRST FUCKING PERSON in the entire HISTORY OF FISHING, that has gotten fired for using curse words and drinking whiskey. I couldn't even absorb the fact that my boss was firing me because I couldn't get over the fact that I was possibly the first sailor or fisherman in all of ocean-faring humanity that had gotten fired for doing what sailors and fisherman are guaranteed and known to do best: drinkin' and cursin'
We can also scratch THAT job off the possible reference list as well.
It was at this point in the office of Job Choices Bozeman that the porn music had long since stopped playing in my head, and that I suddenly and swiftly fell deeply into a full blown existential crisis right there in Tracy's office while simply trying to think of a single reference from my last 3 jobs. The unbelievable amount of misfortune, tragedy, irony, and utter insanity of my last 3 job experiences had truly started to sink in, and I was beginning to legitimately lose my temporary grasp on sanity along with my faith in humanity altogether in one great, big, sloppy sandwich of existential fucking crisis.
Allow me to self-diagnose this existential crisis sandwich by peeling off some of the layers of this enormous stinking onion that is in the middle of it all: Either that curse that was put on me a few years ago by a Mexican trainhopping gypsy from New Orleans is proof that curses are indeed fucking real, or either I am the unluckiest son of a bitch on this entire planet that is so very unlucky that I am slowly (or quickly) coming to the conclusion that this entire life is a simulation that is programmed by some sick comedic asshole that specializes in the tragedies of both irony AND misfortune. And though some people in this world call that programmer God or Allah or Jehovah, I call him Jeff. I call him "Jeff in Programming", with same amount of disdain and hatred that Michael Scott refers to "Toby in Human Resources" in the American version of the show "The Office".
(Sidenote: If you do not understand my last reference because you have not watched The Office, then you need to stop reading this book right now, go sign up for one month of Netflix, and spend that entire month binge-watching one of the greatest sitcoms ever made in the history of television: The Office (US Version). Go. Now!)
I digress.
As I collapsed into a full-blown existential crisis while thinking of job references on the second floor employment services office above Montana State Bank, my fantasy-based relationship with Tracy was also about to crumble into an existential crisis as well, based on two very important qualities:
Quality Numero Uno: Tracy and I had no relationship that actually existed outside of my head and a stupid job application form. We had never knocked over all of the filing cabinets, water-cooler, or broken the copying machine with tantric sex. That scenario never existed period.
Quality Numeros Dos: I was about to not only lie, but also commit non-existent adultery to Tracy, thus putting a very real end to a not-very-real relationship.
I stood up from the desk that me and Tracy had never fucked on, and I told Tracy that I had to use the bathroom. And though I did really have to use the bathroom, it wasn't for the purpose of pissing or taking a shit, it was for the purpose of throwing the application in the toilet and sneaking my way down the hallway and out of the employment agency. In which case, that is precisely what I did.
Upon stepping out of the door and back into the parking lot of Bozeman City Bank, I noticed another hot little woman across the street: A dazzling red-headed freckle-faced damsel by the name of Wendy, who promised in her fertile bosom the birth of two-dollar cheeseburgers and loaded baked potatoes. I went inside Wendy's house, and began to have an oral relationship by penetrating my mouth with nearly everything that was offered on Wendy's dollar-value menu.
Stop here, acquire coffee, booze, and cigarettes until I feel like writing again, which may be later tonight, tomorrow morning, or possibly fucking never

Old Austin Tales: Forgotten Video Arcades of The 1970s & 80s

In the late 1980s and early 1990s when I was a young teen growing up in far North Austin, it was a popular custom for many boys in the neighborhood to assemble at the local Stop-N-Go after school on a regular basis for some Grand Champion level tournaments in Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat. The collective insistence of our mothers and fathers to get out of the house, get some exercise, and refrain from playing NES or Sega on the television only led us to seek out more video games at the convenience store down the road. Much allowance and lunch money was spent as well as hours that should have been devoted to homework among the 8 or 9 regular boys in attendance, often challenging each other to 'Best of 5' matches. I myself played Dhalsim and SubZero, and not very well, so I rarely ever made it to the 5th match. The store workers frequently kicked us out for the day only to have us return when they weren't working the counter anymore if not the next day.
There is something about that which has been lost in the present day. While people can today download the latest games on Steam or PSN or in the app store on your smartphone, you can't just find arcade games in stores and restaurants like you used to be able to. And so the fun of a spontaneous 8 or 10 person multiplayer video game tournament has been confined to places like bars, pool halls, Pinballz or Dave&Busters.
But in truth it was that ubiquity of arcade video games, how you could find them in any old 7-11 or Laundromat, which is what killed the original arcades of the early 1980s before the Great Crash of 1983 when home video game consoles started to catch up to what you saw in the arcade.
I was born in the mid 1970s so I missed out on Pong. I was kindergarten age when the Golden Age of Arcade Games took place in the early 1980s. There used to be a place called Skateworld on Anderson Mill Road that was primarily for roller skating but had a respectable arcade in its own right. It was there that I honed my skills on the original Tron, Pac Man, Galaga, Pole Position, Defender, and so many others. In the 1980s I remember visiting all the same mall arcades as others in my age group. There was Aladdin's Castle in Barton Creek Mall, The Gold Mine in Highland, and another Gold Mine in Northcross which was eventually renamed Tilt. Westgate Mall also had an arcade but being a north austin kid I never went there until later in the mid 1990s. There were also places like Malibu Grand Prix and Showbiz Pizza and Chuck-E-Cheeze, all of which had fairly large arcades for kids which were the secondary attraction.
If you're of a certain age you will remember Einsteins and LeFun on the Drag. They were there for a few decades going back way before the Slacker era. Lesser known is that the UT Student Union basement used to have an arcade that was comparable to either or both of those places. Back in the pre-9/11 days it was much easier to sneak in if you even vaguely looked like you could be a UT student.
But there was another place I was too young to have experienced called Smitty's up further north on 183 at Lake Creek in the early 1980s. I never got to go there but I always heard about it from older kids at the time. It was supposed to have been two stories of wall to wall games with a small snack bar. I guess at the time it served a mostly older teen crowd from Westwood High School and for that reason younger kids my age weren't having birthday parties there. It wasn't around very long, just a few years during the Golden Age of Arcades.
It is with almost-forgotten early arcades like that in mind that I wanted to share with y'all some examples of places from The Golden Age of the Video Arcade in Austin using some old Statesman articles I've found. Maybe someone of a certain age on here will remember them. I was curious what they were like, having missed out by being slightly too young to have experienced most of them first hand. I also wanted to see the original reaction to them in the press. I had a feeling there was some pushback from school/parent/civic groups on these facilities showing up in neighborhood strip malls or next to schools, and I was right to suspect. But I'm getting ahead of myself. First let's list off some places of interest. Be sure to speak up if you remember going to any of these, even if it was just for some other kid's birthday party. Unfortunately some of the only mentions about a place are reports of a crime being committed there, such as our first few examples.
Forgotten Arcade #1
Fun House/Play Time Arcade - 2820 Guadalupe
June 15, 1975
ARCADE ENTHUSIASM
A gang fight involving 20 30 people erupted early Saturday morning in front of an arcade on Guadalupe Street. The owner of the Fun House Arcade at 282J Guadalupe told police pool cues, lug wrenches, fists and a shotgun were displayed during the flurry. Police are unsure what started the fisticuffs, but one witness at the scene said it pitted Chicanos against Anglos. During the fight the owner of the arcade said a green car stopped at the side of the arcade and witnesses reported the barrel of a shotgun sticking out. The crowd wisely scattered and only a 23-year-old man was left lying on the ground. He told police he doesn't know what happened.
March 3, 1976
ARCADE ROBBED
A former employee of Play Time Arcade, 2820 Guadalupe, was charged Tuesday in connection with the Tuesday afternoon robbery of his former business. Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Ronnie Magee, 22, of 1009 Aggie Lane, Apt. 306. Arcade attendant Sam Garner said he had played pool with the suspect an hour before the robbery. He told police the man had been fired from the business two weeks earlier. Police said a man walked in the arcade about 2:45 p m. with a blue steel pistol and took $180. Magee is charged with first degree aggravated robbery. Bond was set on the charge at $15,000.
First it was called Fun House and then renamed Play Time a year later. I'm not sure what kind of arcade games beyond Pong and maybe Asteroids they could have had at this place. The peak of the Pinball craze was supposed to be around 1979, so they might have had a few pinball machines as well. A quick search of youtube will show you a few examples of 1976 video games like Death Race. The location is next to Ken's Donuts where PokeBowl is today where the old Baskin Robbins location was for many years.
Forgotten Arcade #2
Green Goth - 1121 Springdale Road
May 15, 1984
A 23-year-old man pleaded guilty Monday to a January 1983 murder in East Austin and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Jim Crowell Jr. of Austin admitted shooting 17-year-old Anthony Rodriguez in the chest with a shotgun after the two argued outside the Green Goth, a games arcade at 1121 Springdale Road, on Jan. 23, 1983. Crowell had argued with Rodriguez and a friend of Rodriguez at the arcade, police said. Crowell then went to his house, got a shotgun and returned to the arcade, witnesses said. When the two friends left the arcade, Rodriguez was shot Several weeks ago Crowell had reached a plea bargain with prosecutors for an eight-year prison term, but District Judge Bob Perkins would not accept the sentence, saying it was shorter than sentences in similar cases. After further plea bargaining, Crowell accepted the 15-year prison sentence.
I can't find anything else on Green Goth except reports about this incident with a murder there. There is at least one other report from 1983 around the time of Crowell's arrest that also refer to it as an arcade but reports the manager said the argument started over a game of pool. It's possible this place might have been more known for pool.

Losing the magic touch - Video Arcades have trouble winning the money game
It was going to be so easy for Lawrence Villegas, a video game junkie who thought he could make a fast buck by opening up an arcade where kids could plunk down an endless supply of quarters to play Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Asteroids. Villegas got together with a few friends, purchased about 30 video games and opened Games, Etc. at 1302 S. First St in 1980. .,--.... For a while, things, went great Kids waited in line to spend their money to drive race cars, slay dragons and save the universe.
AT THE BEGINNING of 1982, however, the bottom fell out, and Villegas' revenues fell from $400 a week to $25. Today, Games, Etc. is vacant Villegas, 30, who is now working for his parents at Tony's Tortilla Factory, hasn't decided what he'll do with the building. "I was hooked on Asteroids, and I opened the business to get other people hooked, too," Villegas said. "But people started getting bored, and it wasn't worth keeping the place open. In the end, I sold some machines for so little it made me sick."
VILLEGAS ISNT the only video game operator to experience hard times, video game manufacturers and distributors 'It used to be fairly common to get $300 a week from a machine. Now we rarely get more than $100 .
Pac-Man's a lost cause. Six months ago, you could resell a Pac-Man machine for $1,600. Now, you're lucky to get $950 if you can find a buyer." Ronnie Roark says. In the past year, business has dropped 25 percent to 65 percent throughout the country, they say. Most predict business will get even worse before the market stabilizes. Video game manufacturers and operators say there are several reasons for the sharp and rapid decline: Many video games can now be played at home on television, so there's no reason to go to an arcade. The novelty of video games has worn off. It has been more than a decade since the first ones hit the market The decline can be traced directly to oversaturation or the market arcade owners say. The number of games in Austin has quadrupled since 1981, and it's not uncommon to see them in coin-operated laundries, convenience stores and restaurants.
WITH SO MANY games to choose from, local operators say, Austinites be came bored. Arcades still take in thousands of dollars each week, but managers and owners say most of the money is going to a select group of newer games, while dozens of others sit idle.
"After awhile, they all seem the same," said Dan Moyed, 22, as he relaxed at Muther's Arcade at 2532 Guadalupe St "You get to know what the game is going to do before it does. You can play without even thinking about it" Arcade owners say that that, in a nutshell, is why the market is stagnating.
IN THE PAST 18 months, Ronnie Roark, owner of the Back Room at 2015 E. Riverside Drive, said his video business has dropped 65 to 75 percent Roark, . who supplied about 160 video games to several Austin bars and arcades, said the instant success of the games is what led to their demise. "The technology is not keeping up with people's demand for change," said Roark, who bought his first video game in 1972. "The average game is popular for two or three months. We're sending back games that are less than five months old."
Roark said the market began dropping in March 1982 and has been declining steadily ever since. "The drop started before University of Texas students left for the summer in 1982," Roark said. "We expected a 25 percent drop in business, and we got that, and more. It's never really picked up since then. - "It used to be fairly common to get $300 a week from a machine. Now we rarely get more than $100. 1 was shocked when I looked over my books and saw how much things had dropped."
TO COMBAT THE slump, Roark said, he and some arcade owners last year cut the price of playing. Even that didn't help, he said. Old favorites, such as Pac-Man, which once took in hundreds of dollars each week, he said, now make less than $3 each. "Pac-Man's a lost cause," he said. "Six months ago, you could resell a Pac-Man machine for $1,600. Now, you're lucky to get $950 if you can find a buyer." Hardest hit by the slump are the owners of the machines, who pay $3,500 to $5,000 for new products and split the proceeds with the businesses that house them.
SALEM JOSEPH, owner of Austin Amusement and Vending Co., said his business is off 40 percent in the past year. Worse yet, some of his customers began returning their machines, and he's having a hard time putting them back in service. "Two years ago, a machine would generate enough money to pay for itself in six months,' said Joseph, who supplies about 250 games to arcades. "Now that same machine takes 18 months to pay for itself." As a result, Joseph said, he'll buy fewer than 15 new machines this year, down from the 30 to 50 he used to buy. And about 50 machines are sitting idle in his warehouse.
"I get calls every day from people who want to sell me their machines," Joseph said. "But I can't buy them. The manufacturers won't buy them from me." ARCADE OWNERS and game manufacturers hope the advent of laser disc video games will buoy the market Don Osborne, vice president of marketing for Atari, one of the largest manufacturers of video games, said he expects laser disc games to bring a 25 percent increase in revenues next year. The new games are programmed to give players choices that may affect the outcome of the game, Os borne said. "Like the record and movie industries, the video game industry is dependent on products that stimulate the imagination," Osborne said "One of the reasons we're in a valley is that we weren't coming up with those kinds of products."
THE FIRST of the laser dis games, Dragonslayer and Star Wan hit the market about two months ago. Noel Kerns, assistant manager of The Gold Mine Arcade in Northcross Mall, says the new games are responsible for a $l,000-a-week increase in revenues. Still, Kerns said, the Gold Mine' total sales are down 20 percent iron last summer. However, he remain optimistic about the future of the video game industry. "Where else can you come out of the rain and drive a Formula One race car or save the universe?" hi asked.
Others aren't so optimistic. Roark predicted the slump will force half of all operators out of business and will last two more years. "Right now, we've got a great sup ply and almost no demand," Roark said. "That's going to have to change before things get- significantly better."
Well there is a lot to take from that long article, among other things, that the author confused "Dragonslayer" with "Dragon's Lair". I lol'd.
Anyone who has been to Emo's East, formerly known as The Back Room, knows they have arcade games and pool, but it's mostly closed when there isn't a show. That shouldn't count as an arcade, even though the former owner Ronnie Roark was apparently one of the top suppliers of cabinet games to the area during the Golden Era. Any pool hall probably had a few arcade games at the time, too, but that's not the same as being an arcade.
We also learn from the same article of two forgotten arcades: Muthers at 2522 Guadalupe where today there is a Mediterranean food restaurant, and another called Games, Etc. at 1302 S.First that today is the site of an El Mercado restaurant. But the article is mostly about showing us how bad the effects were from the crash at the end of the Golden Era. It was very hard for the early arcades to survive with increasing competition from home game consoles and personal computers, and the proliferation of the games into stores and restaurants.

'Quartermania' stalks South Austin
School officials, parents worried about effects of video games
A fear Is haunting the video game business. "We call it 'quartermania.' That's fear of running out of quarters," said Steve Stackable, co-owner of Computer Madness, a video game and foosball arcade at 2414 S. Lamar Blvd. The "quartermania" fear extends to South Austin households and schools, as well. There it's a fear of students running out of lunch money and classes to play the games. Local school officials and Austin police are monitoring the craze. They're concerned that computer hotspots could become undesirable "hangouts" for students, or that truancy could increase because students (high-school age and younger) will skip school to defend their galaxies against The Tempest.
So far police fears have not been substantiated. Department spokesmen say that although more than half the burglaries in the city are committed by juveniles during the daytime, they know of no connection between the break-ins and kids trying to feed their video habit But school and parental worries about misspent time and money continue. The public outcry in September 1980 against proposals to put electronic game arcades near two South Austin schools helped persuade city officials to reject the applications. One proposed location was near Barton Hills Elementary School. The other was South Ridge Plaza at William Cannon Drive and South First Street across from Bedlchek Junior High School.
Bedichek principal B.G. Henry said he spoke against the arcade because "of the potential attraction it had for our kids. I personally feel kids are so drawn to these things, that It might encourage them to leave the school building and play hookey. Those things have so much compulsion, kids are drawn to them like a magnet Kids can get addicted to them and throw away money, maybe their lunch money. I'm not against the video games. They may be beneficial with eye-hand coordination or even with mathematics, but when you mix the video games during school hours and near school buildings, you might be asking for problems you don't need."
A contingent from nearby Pleasant Hill Elementary School joined Bedichek in the fight back in 1980, although principal Kay Beyer said she received her first formal call about the games last Week from a mother complaining that her child was spending lunch money on them. Beyer added that no truancy problems have been related to video game-playing at a nearby 7-11 store. Allen Poehl, amusement game coordinator for Austin's 7-11 stores, said company policy rules out any game-playing by school-age youth during school hours. Fulmore Junior High principal Bill Armentrout said he is working closely with operators of a nearby 7-1 1 store to make sure their policy is enforced.
The convenience store itself, and not necessarily the video games, is a drawing card for older students and drop-outs, Armentrout said. Porter Junior High principal Marjorie Ball said that while video games aren't a big cause of truancy, "the money (spent on the games) is a big factor." Ball said she has made arrangements with nearby businesses to call the school it students are playing the games during school hours. "My concern is that kids are basically unsupervised, especially at the 24-hour grocery stores. That's a late hour for kids to be out. I would like to see them (games) unplugged at 10 p.m.," adds Joslin Elementary principal Wayne Rider.
Several proprietors of video game hot-spots say they sympathize with the concerns of parents and school officials. No one under 18 is admitted without a parent to Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre at 4211 S. Lamar. That rule, says night manager David Dunagan, "keeps it from being a high school hangout. This is a family place." Jerry Zollar, owner of J.J. Subs in West Wood Shopping Center on Bee Cave Road, rewards the A's on the report cards of Eanes school district students with free video games. "It's kind of a community thing we do in a different way. I've heard from both teachers and parents . . . they thought this was a good idea," said Zollar.
Electronic Encounters in Southwood Mall last year was renovated into a brightly lit arcade. "We're trying to get away from the dark, barroom-type place. We want this to be a place for family entertainment We won't let kids stay here during school hours without a written note from their parents, and we're pretty strict about that," said manager Kelly Roberts. Joyce Houston, who manages The Outer Limits amusements center at 1409 W. Oltorf St. along with her husband, said, "I wouldn't let my children go into some of the arcades I've visited. I'm a concerned parent, too. We wanted a place where the whole family could come and enjoy themselves."
Well you can see which way the tone of all these articles is going. There were some crimes committed at some arcades but all of them tended to have a negative reputation for various reasons. Parents and teachers were very skeptical of the arcades being in the neighborhoods to the point of petitioning the City Government to restrict them. Three arcades are mentioned besides Chuck-E-Cheese. Electronic Encounters in Southwood Mall, The Outer Limits amusements center at 1409 W. Oltorf, and Computer Madness, a "video game and foosball arcade" at 2414 S. Lamar Blvd.
Forgotten Arcade #8
Smitty's Galaxy of Games - Lake Creek Parkway
February 25, 1982
Arcades fighting negative image
Video games have swept across America, and Williamson and Travis counties have not been immune. In a two-part series, Neighbor examines the effects the coin-operated machines have had on suburban and small-town life.
Cities have outlawed them, religious leaders have denounced them and distraught mothers have lost countless children to their voracious appetites. And still they march on, stronger and more numerous than before. A new disease? Maybe. A wave of invading aliens from outer space? On occasion. A new type of addiction? Certainly. The culprit? Video games. Although the electronic game explosion has been mushrooming throughout the nation's urban areas for the past few years, its rippling effects have just recently been felt in the suburban fringes of North Austin and Williamson County.
In the past year, at least seven arcades armed with dozens of neon quarter-snatchers have sprung up to lure teens with thundering noises and thousands of flashing seek-and-destroy commands. Critics say arcades are dens of iniquity where children fall prey to the evils of gambling. But arcade owners say something entirely different. "Everybody fights them (arcades), they think they are a haven for drug addicts. It's just not true," said Larry Grant of Austin, who opened Eagle's Nest Fun and Games on North Austin Avenue in Georgetown last September. "These kids are great" Grant said the gameroom "gives teenagers a place to come. Some only play the games and some only talk.
In Georgetown, if you're from the high school, this is it." He said he's had very few disturbances, and asks "undesirables" to leave. "We've had a couple of rowdies. That's why I don't have any pool tables they tend to attract that type of crowd," Grant said.
Providing a place for teens to congregate was also the reason behind Ron and Carol Smith's decision to open Smitty's Galaxy of Games on Lake Creek Parkway at the entrance to Anderson Mill. "We have three teenage sons, and as soon as the oldest could drive, it became immediately apparent that there was no place to go around here," said Ron, an IBM employee who lives in Spicewood at Balcones. "This prompted us to want to open something." The business, which opened in August, has been a huge success with both parents and youngsters. "Hundreds of parents have come to check out our establishment before allowing their children to come, and what they see is a clean, safe environment managed by adults and parents," Ron said. "We've developed an outstanding rapport with the community." Video arcades "have a reputation that we have to fight," said Carol.
Kathy McCoy of Georgetown, who last October opened Krazy Korner on Willis Street in Leander, agrees. "We've got a real good group of kids," she said. "There's no violence, no nothing. Parents can always find their kids at Krazy Korner."
While all the arcade owners contacted reported that business is healthy, if not necessarily lucrative, it's not as easy for video entrepreneurs to turn a profit as one might imagine. A sizeable investment is required. Ron Smith paid between $2,800 and $5,000 for each of the 30 electronic diversions at his gameroom.
Grant said his average video game grosses about $50 a week, and his "absolute worst" game, Armor Attack, only $20 a week. The top machines (Defender and Pac-Man) can suck in an easy $125 a week. That's a lot of quarters, 500 to be exact but the Eagle's Nest and Krazy Korner pass half of them on to Neelley Vending Company of Austin which rents them their machines. "At 25 cents a shot, it takes an awful lot of people to pay the bills," said Tom Hatfield, district manager for Neelley.
He added that an owner's personality and the arcade's location can make or break the venture. The game parlor must be run "by an understanding person, someone with patience," Hatfield said. "They cannot be too demanding on the kids, yet they can't let them run all over them." And they must be located in a spot "with lots of foot traffic," such as a shopping center or near a good restaurant, he said. "And being close to a school really helps." "Video games are going to be here permanently, but we're going to see some operations not going because of the competition," which includes machines in virtually every convenience store and supermarket, Hatfield said.
This article talks about three arcades. One in Georgetown called Eagles Nest, another in Leander called Krazy Korner, and a third called Smitty's Galaxy of Games on Lake Creek Parkway "on the fringes of North Austin". This is the one I remember the older kids talking about when I was a little kid. There was once a movie theater across the street from the Westwood High School football stadium and behind that was Smitty's. Today I think the building was bulldozed long ago and the space is part of the expanded onramp to 183 today. Eventually another unrelated arcade was built next to the theater that became Alamo Lakeline. It was another site of some unrecorded epic Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat tournaments in the 90s.
But the article written before the end of the Golden Era tell us much about the pushback I was talking about earlier. Early arcades were seen as "dirty" places in some circles, and the owners of the arcades in Williamson County had to stress how "clean" their establishments were. This other article from a couple of weeks later tells of how area school officials weren't worried about video games and tells us more arcades in Round Rock and Cedar Park. Apparently the end of the golden age lasted a bit longer than usual in this area.
At some point in the next few years the bubble burst, and places like Smitty's were gone by the late 80s. But the distributors quoted earlier were right that arcade games weren't going completely away. In the mid 1980s LeFun opened up next in the Scientology building at 2200 Guadalupe on the drag. Down a few doors past what used be a coffee shop and a CVS was Einsteins Arcade. Both of those survived into the 21st century. I remember the last time I was at Einsteins I got my ass beat in Tekken by a kid half my age. heheh
That's all for today. There were no Bonus Pics in the UT archive of arcades (other than the classical architectural definition). I wanted to pass on some Bonus newspaper articles (remember to click and zoom in with the buttons on the right to read) about Austin arcades anyway but first a small story.
I mentioned earlier the secret of the UT Student Union. I have no idea what it looks like now but in the 90s there was a sizable arcade in with the bowling alley in the basement. Back in 1994 when I used to sneak in, they featured this bizarre early attempt at virtual reality games. I found an old Michael Barnes Statesman article about it dated February 11, 1994. Some highlights:
Hundreds of students and curiosity-seekers lined up at the University of Texas Union to play three to five minutes of Dactyl Nightmare, Flying Aces or V-Tol, three-dimensional games from Kramer Entertainment. Nasty weather delayed the unloading of four huge trunks containing the machines, which resemble low pulpits. Still, players waited intently for a chance to shoot down a fighter jet, operate a tilt-wing Harrier or tangle with a pterodactyl. Today, tickets will go on sale in the Texas Union lobby at 11:30 a.m. for playing slots between noon and 6 p.m.
Players, fitted with full helmets, throttles and power packs, stood on shiny gray and yellow platforms surrounded by a circular guard rail. Seen behind the helmet's goggles were computer simulated landscapes, not unlike the most sophisticated video games, with controls and enemies viewed in deep space. "You're on a platform waiting to fight a human figure," said Jeff Vaughn, 19, of Dactyl Nightmare. "A pterodactyl swoops down and tries to pick you up. You have to fight it off. You are in the space and can see your own body and all around you. But if you try to walk, you have to use that joy stick to get around."
"I let the pterodactyl carry me away so I could look down and scan the board," said Tom Bowen of the same game. "That was the way I found out where the other player was." "Yeah, it's cool just to stand there and not do anything," Vaughn said. The mostly young, mostly male crowd included the usual gaming fanatics, looking haggard and tense behind glasses and beards. A smattering of women and children also pressed forward in a line that snaked past the lobby and into the Union's retail shops.
"I don't know why more women don't play. Maybe because the games are so violent," said Jennifer Webb, 24, a psychology major whose poor eyesight kept her from becoming a fighter pilot in real life. "If the Air Force won't take me, virtual reality will." "They use stereo optics moving at something like 60 frames a second," said computer science major Alex Aquila, 19. "The images are still pretty blocky. But once you play it, you'll want to play it again and again." With such demand for virtual reality, some gamesters wondered why an Austin video arcade has not invested in at least one machine.
The gameplay looked like this.

Hornstrandir - Iceland

/ Disclaimer: This trip was at the beginning of July. The daily Covid-19 deaths in my country where around 0 and excess mortality was actually negative. In Iceland there were no active Covid-19 cases. To be allowed to travel to Iceland you had to do a Covid-test at the border that had to be negative and you had to be from an approved country.

/ Overview: Trip route
--- INTRODUCTION TO HORNSTRANDIR ---
After landing in Reykjavik you travel to a small airport - not much larger than a bus stop - to step in a small Bombardier turboprop plane that brings you to the Westfjords. The northwestern peninsula of Iceland is about the size of Belgium but has a mere 7000 inhabitants. Our reason to go there is because on the edge of the Westfjords you can find Hornstrandir. Shut off from the outside world by a large glacier Hornstrandir is the most northern part of Iceland. It hugs the Arctic Circle and has been abandoned by its last occupants in the 50’s. The small peninsula is often regarded to be Europe’s last wilderness; where the sun doesn’t set in the summer and fails to rise in winter.
From the window of the propeller plane the Westfjords seem… desolate. A beautiful monotony without settlements, trees or even bushes. A barren landscape consisting of shades of brown and dark green with patches of ice and small lakes. It’s not as overwhelming as the Norwegian fjords or Italian Dolomites, it just looks completely different. Almost alien like. The plane lands in the capital of the Westfjords, a humongous city called Ísafjörður housing a staggering 2500 people. From there a boat takes you to Hornstrandir. With the beach in sight we jump in a small rubber Zodiac and a through and through Icelandic man with a skin that looks like leather drops us off on the rocks; “good luck! Don’t die”.
--- THE REPORT ---
/ Day 1 Landing
With your feet on the ground Hornstrandir looks completely different then it does from the sky. All the different mosses, high grass and a large variety of yellow, purple and white flowers make it far more lively than a view from the sky suggests. Small streams that spring from tunnels in the ice cross your path constantly and there is always a waterfall in sight. We decided to start on the western coast of Hornstrandir at a place called Latrar which consists of a couple of empty houses and work our way north to the Horn before going southwards to Veiðileysufjörður (try to say that three times in a row).
/ Day 2 Latrar to Fljótavatn
Before long we realize that the routes on the map and our Inreach are merely a suggestion. The window to hike on Hornstrandir is very short, only the months of July and August are deemed safe (and fun), and being the third of July it is still very early in the season so there are no footsteps for us to follow or a beaten path that we can see in the distance. That means progress is relatively slow due to a lot of pathfinding and rough terrain. Hornstrandir’s mountains aren’t very high, it seems like God used a big scythe to cut them all off at 600 meters(2000 feet) but they are steep and there is no going around them so you constantly move from sea level to the top and back down again. On the first hiking day we climb over some very steep snow patches where microspikes would have been great, but we kick steps in the hard snow and make steady progress, we face sharp rocky descends and climb over enormous boulders, but the weather is calm and beautiful so it is very doable and we are rewarded with beautiful views.
The day ends with a walk through a valley where the wind roars endlessly and your feet constantly sink in the swampy ground. Our campground is on the other side of Fljótavatn, a balls deep water that can be described as half river, half lake. The crossing is about 500 meter(1600 feet) long but luckily the water isn’t freezing. It is difficult to find a flat and dry spot on the other bank and the wind beats on our small pyramid tents constantly. Because the sun doesn’t set the temperature doesn’t really drop at night, but that doesn’t mean Hornstrandir welcomes you with comfortable summer weather. The moment you stop moving the Arctic wind is strong and icy cold and cuts through everything. So at the end of the day you’ll quickly dive into your bag and sit in the vestibule for dinner, whiskey and some reading.
By the way, this might be a good moment to mention that this is my hiking partner's very first hike. He’s not the outdoorsy type but always open to new experiences, so when I invited him to hike Hornstrandir with me I didn’t expect him to say yes, and he didn’t know what to expect at all. As an Icelandic mountain guide we’d meet later on would say; ‘You choose this as your first hike? Whew, trial by fire!’
/ Day 3 Fljótavatn to Hlöðuvík
This island has some weird fucking terrain going on. No matter how steep the side of the mountain is, no matter how high or low we walk our feet are constantly wet. The banks of the Fljótavatn lake that we have to follow to the east consist of stinky marshland concealed as beautiful green fields. The waterfalls we cross become larger and more spectacular and the climbs steeper. The map suggests we climb out of the valley over a 150 meter high slope at a 60° angle with little to nothing to hold onto. Eventually the safest way up seems to be through a calmly seeping waterfall that offered us good stepping stones and enough places to rest your feet. Later on the Icelandic man with leather skin from the boat would tell us that this is a ridiculous path to take and he doesn’t know why the maps would suggest it, he usually hikes on for another 2 kilometers where you can take a nice switchback to get up.
After the last steps on the waterfall we peek over the top and look onto a mountain plateau with clear sight of the highest pass we would have to cross today. It looked like a 300 meter high wall, luckily it ended up indeed being a 300 meter high wall without a path, consisting of loose gravel and rock at a steep angle. We were again happy with the great weather since this is the kind of mountain pass that is simply not possible in a storm. I was also happy this wasn’t my second day of hiking ever (ahum, my hiking partner). An hour of scrambling later the ridge offered great views of both the grey, icy and rocky mountain plateau we came from and the green valley filled with birds we would descend into. The amazing thing of all these short but steep climbs is that you’re treated with a completely new view and micro climate several times a day.
And this day offered us something else! Since we're getting closer to the more popular locations of the island (Hesteyri, Hlöðuvík, Höfn and Latravik seem to be the favored destinations) halfway through the day a distinguishable path opened up before us. Cairns over the passes and even wooden sticks to guide the way! And on top of that we see a small path zig-zagging up the last mountain pass of the day. With our feet horizontal for the first time, a more gradual climb and no worries about taking the right route our speed increases as well as our confidence. We even find the first signs of life other than birds; the tail of an Arctic fox. The apex predator of the peninsula, no bigger than a large house cat but in this unforgiving environment the largest predator nonetheless. According to the stories they are quite fearless and will walk right up to you, but so far we had seen no signs of the animal.
The campsite at Hlöðuvík was clearly more often visited. A wooden latrine, a weather-beaten orange emergency shelter for the shipwrecked and flat dry ground to pitch your tent right at the beach. We were soon joined by a group of four Icelandic mountain guides and a lone French photographer who tells us about his struggles to get over a practically vertical wall he had to climb over that day. Luckily there was a rope there but still it took him a good half an hour to figure out a safe way to get over it. The day was long and sometimes sketchy, but right now the sun shines, people around us and a path to follow, life is good.
/ Day 4 Hlöðuvík to Höfn
It doesn’t get dark, there isn’t even twilight. So… why are we getting up early? Usually you do this to make good use of the available daylight but right here you could go over the mountain passes in the middle of the night without issue. So we sleep until we don’t want to anymore. Eat some breakfast while looking at the sea and take some well earned time on the very clean and not all that stinky latrine. The first river we have to cross has a big tree to use as a bridge. We see a bunch of seals chilling on pointy rocks in the sea and while the climbs are steep they aren’t sketchy. This is our fourth day on Hornstrandir and we haven’t had a drop of rain yet.
On the downhill we meet an Irishman and a Dutchie (why the fuck do you walk into a Dutch person in every country, on every mountain and in every godforsaken hole in the ground), they’ve seen plenty of Arctic Foxes and apparently there will be a path everywhere we go from now. Not 10 minutes after we spot a little fox on the trot, meandering through the landscape. We sit down on the soft, cushion-like moss and it curiously comes closer. Remnants of its thick white winter coat peak through the brown fur, it makes the small animal look old and wise. It stays a little more than an arms length away at all times but has no problem chilling around us, probably used to the fact that the humans that cross its path might have something to eat.
We follow a small stream that leads us to the ocean where another fox is hunting on the beaches. Quite successfully might I add. Within a minute it has a seagull in its jaws that’s practically as big as it is itself. The last true obstacle of the day is the 6 meter(20 feet) tall wall on the beach that the French photographer talked about. But some of the scrambling we’ve been doing on the first two days was just as steep, loads higher and didn’t have a nice rope for support. The wall turned out to be a breeze, but the narrow trail right on the edge of a cliff that follows has me more worried. Parts of it are crumbled and even the path itself has a sharp angle.
The end of the day is a beach walk over large rocks towards Höfn, the most popular camping spot of Hornstrandir. The contrast with the first days is quite stark. There are picnic tables here, water taps, a toilet building with real flushing toilets and even a ranger hut that is manned in July and August. There are at least 6 other trekker tents here and a huge hot tent with couches and a barbecue that forms the base camp for organized expeditions to the Hörn.
/ Day 5 Höfn to the Hörn
Today is Hörn day. This is the reason most people visit Hornstrandir. The Hörn is a huge bowl with jagged cliffs on three sides. Puffins make their nests on these cliffs and foxes hunt for birds and eggs. This is also the reason that the closer you get to the Hörn, the more civilized the peninsula becomes with nice flat camp spots, visible trails and well, water taps. Today is an out-and-back hike so we don’t have to take down our campsite and only take my backpack for the day. The hike to the top is nothing less than scenic all the way. We cross crystal clear and ice cold rivers, beautiful waterfalls, wildflowers up to your belly button and piles of driftwood on the beaches. There is a steady path all the way up that passes a well-maintained house where an Icelandic family is nicely settled for a summer holiday (descendants of the last inhabitants of the island are allowed to maintain the wooden homes and be there in the summer).
The Hörn is charming but it isn’t necessarily the culmination of the trip. This might be due to the fact that we spot exactly zero puffins, but I think it has more to do with the fact that we’ve had views at least as beautiful on this hike where it felt like we were alone in the world. More rugged, more desolate. Views that felt more… earned. On the way down we take a shortcut over the beach that you can only take at low tide. Sandpipers happily race over the sand from seashell to seashell, but we aren’t sandpipers and there are situations where we sink into the sand thigh deep. Perhaps don’t do this one if you are on your own.
While sipping on our last drops of rum (don’t worry there is still some whisky left) we decide to skip our hike to the lighthouse of Látravik tomorrow and immediately go to our final location in the bay of Veiðileysufjörður. A boat is supposed to pick us up there on the 8th of July and since there is no cellular connection on the whole island we’ve got a little bit of anxiety about missing the boat and getting stuck there.
/ Day 6 Höfn to Veiðileysufjörður
Just one more peak to bag today! While we climb out of the valley we hear a small one propeller plane approach. On the ground we see four tiny figures waiting, so we sit down on the mountain side with a snack, I’m trading some bland nut mix for dried apricots. The plane lands in the mud perfectly next to the people and seems to drop off some supplies before taking to the skies again. That is what a holiday on Hornstrandir looks like when you’re not hiking.
The last mountain provides a now familiar rhythm. From a green valley you climb up a steep mountain side with moss and small flowers. At about 200m you reach a plateau where the green disappears and you hike over rocky terrain and cross meltwater rivers. Then, in the shadow of the peak, ice and snow starts to cover the rocks and you climb another 200 meter wall that consists of a combination of rocks, loose gravel and snow. The other side is different though, this time there is an amazing pristine snowpack readily available for us to glissade down. When I reach the bottom I turn around and look up to see my hiking partner coming at me at blistering speed, hiking poles fully extended. He bounces to a standstill at the bottom of his involuntary glissade. An amazing ending to our last climb.
The last campsite is more like those of the first days. Not a flat piece of ground to pitch your tent and not a person in sight. We wash some clothes so we’ll be a little less stinky on the boat and back in Ísafjörður. I screw my stove on the gas canister and pull out my food bag to prepare the last dinner. It is quite light now, and you might wonder; why hasn’t he told us anything about what he ate on this trip? This guy prides himself on making awesome backpacking meals, what happened? Well… I was supposed to walk the PCT in 2020 and filled my food bag for the first time in the US during the hoarding that was happening in March 2020. The shelves were half empty and I had never gone grocery shopping in the States before. The trip was cancelled the day after and I took the food home. That exact food bag is what I took with me to Iceland. And daiumn did I make some mistakes! Knorr Sides? Gross, too gross! MiO Lemon Lime electrolytes, brrrrr. I accidentally bought a huge bag of unroasted, unsalted nut mix. Boring as hell. So while my hiking partner was eating self dried Kimchi and peanut noodle soup I was reluctantly chewing on fake pasta sides. Two positives: The Epic Lemon bars and RX Bars I had for breakfast were great.
/ Day 7 Veiðileysufjörður
Maximum relaxation. Curled in our sleeping bags with an e-reader we drink hot chocolate and enjoy the last sun and great weather while we wait for the boat to arrive. Iceland is awesome. It isn’t Europe, it isn’t America. It is an island with a character of its own. But it is also a gamble! We had great weather but a week of sunshine here is more unique than a week filled with rain and storms. And the first couple of days had some climbs and descends that I perhaps wouldn't have dared in bad weather. You really need an emergency communicator in case you’ve got to abort or change plans.
From far away Hornstrandir might look monotonous, but the beauty of the island is to be found in its micro climates, and the miniature landscapes you find all around you. The peninsula offers a grand and craggy landscape that still feels flat and smooth because it is so empty, there simply is no tree or bush to be found on the island. If you really want to feel that emptiness, you’ve got to be in the northwestern or southeastern part. The farther you are from the Hornbjarg the lonelier it is. But, that also means it is going to be harder and you're more at the mercy of the weather gods. Hornstrandir? Plan it, do it and be flexible!
--- GEAR NOTES ---
You can check out my lighterpack here. I’ve highlighted the big 4 in below as well as some surprises or lesser known items. If you want to know something about a piece of gear on my lighterpack that I don’t talk about here please let me know and I’ll add it.
/ Backpack: Atom+ 40L DCF Great pack, no surprises. The little improvements over my old 35L Atom+ are great (post comparing the old and new pack). With a sub 9lb base weight and 6.5 days of food I went without the hip belt. No complaints.
/ Tent: Zpacks pocket tarp w/ doors + bathtub floor Yeah about that. Just don’t do it. I planned to take the pocket tarp with 3F UL Lanshan inner but I ended up lending the whole 3F UL (inner and outer) Lanshan to my hiking partner so went with the most barebone setup possible. This isn’t the place to do so. We were so, so lucky with the weather. Most times there isn’t a flat spot to be found and the pocket tarp is tiny so a hand or foot would constantly slip out if I didn’t pay attention. It would have been possible in bad weather but truly miserable. I also constantly had to pitch it lower because of the strong winds. If you take a tarp, take a large, stormworthy one with loads of room like the MLD Trailstar. If you have loads of downtime due to bad weather you want a little more room to live and dry stuff. I think a double walled dual pole setup with loads of vestibule space like the Dan Durston X-mid 1p would have been great here!
/ Quilt: Cumulus Quilt 350 Temperatures at night between 1C(32f) and 4C(40f) with a strong chilly wind. Perfect for the Cumulus 350 in combination with the Thermarest Uberlite, never wanted more. I usually sleep in boxer shorts and a base layer top when using a quilt, so in case I create a short draft while tossing and turning I don’t instantly get cold. The Cumulus has an insulating baffle behind the footbox zipper and footbox draw cord as well as at the top. Combined with the pad attachment system this eliminates drafts better than most quilts.
/ Sleeping pad: Therm-a-rest NeoAir UberLite Hornstrandir is a great place for the UberLite. You camp in the valleys with soft grass and moss as your surface. That means it is more than warm enough for me and the risk of a puncture is very small.
/ Shoes: Nike Wildhorse 6 The Wildhorse 5 was already my favorite trail runner and the 6 is better in every way. The ankle collar works like a gaiter and keeps water and debris out. The new outer sole is better on wet stone and wood but this is still the weak spot of the Wildhorse, Sticky Vibram is miles better. The middle sole is comfy af and the upper fits so well you almost don’t have to tie your laces. The 6 is a bit narrower than the 5 though. This isn’t your shoe if you’ve got wide feet. Oh, and you look totally fly in these!
/ Socks: Injinji liner socks Your feet will get wet here. Rivers, swamps, beaches and rain. You will get wet. Merino liner toe socks prevent blisters in those cases and keep your feet warm.
/ Pants: Ministry of Supply Kinetic pants Comfy, warm, quick drying and very stretchy. No unnecessary pockets, buttons or zippers and afterwards you can use them to drink beer in Reykjavik. Awesome.
/ Shirt: Ministry of Supply Apollo 3 This shirt is awesome at keeping you comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. I don’t know what kind of magic is happening here but it works like a charm. But it was clearly not designed for backpacks. I’ve got the brushed version of the shirt and it started pilling around the sternum strap after 5 days, I’ve ordered a non brushed version and am eager to find out if that one doesn’t pill.
/ Stove: BRS-3000T We know two things: 1. Hornstrandir is windy without cover and 2. the BRS-3000 sucks in the wind. So the conclusion would be; don’t take the BRS. I still did it though… Why? Well because my hiking partner borrowed my MSR Windburner so I had quite an awesome backup stove and also because I never had problems with the BRS before while cooking in the vestibule. And that is also my experience here. On the most windy days it would become a little slower but still worked without a problem. But if you like a hot coffee or soup for lunch when you can’t use your tent as a windbreaker the BRS would totally suck.
/ Communicator: Garmin Inreach mini Take. An. Emergency. Communicator. We saw no one during our first two days and didn’t have any cellular connection at all on the island. This is a place where you can feel that it has the possibility of going south fast. Just take one and be safe. Also you have to catch a boat on a very specific predetermined location to get back to civilization. This isn’t a ferry arriving every hour. IF you miss your appointment you want the possibility to contact someone about it.
/ E-reader: Kobo Clara HD We didn't know how fast our progress would be and how hard hiking on Hornstrandir would turn out to be, so I predicted more down time than I’m used to. I was right, and reading was awesome.

Trumps Russian Ties

Trump has been in Russia's pocket a long time here is more reading for those interested in the history.
Trump was over a billion in debt and the Russians bailed him out.
► Trump was first compromised by the Russians in the 80s. In 1984, the Russian Mafia began to use Trump real estate to launder money. In 1987, the Soviet ambassador to the United Nations, Yuri Dubinin, arranged for Trump and his then-wife, Ivana, to enjoy an all-expense-paid trip to Moscow to consider possible business prospects. Only seven weeks after his trip, Trump ran full-page ads in the Boston Globe, the NYT and WaPO calling for, in effect, the dismantling of the postwar Western foreign policy alliance. The whole Trump/Russian connection started out as laundering money for the Russian mob through Trump's real estate, but evolved into something far bigger.
► In 1984, David Bogatin — a convicted Russian mobster and close ally of Semion Mogilevich, a major Russian mob boss — met with Trump in Trump Tower right after it opened. Bogatin bought five condos from Trump at that meeting. Those condos were later seized by the government, which claimed they were used to launder money for the Russian mob. (NY Times, Apr 30, 1992)
► [Felix Sater](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Sater } is a Russian-born former mobster, and former managing director of NY real estate conglomerate Bayrock Group LLC located on the 24th floor of Trump Tower. He is a convict who became a govt cooperator for the FBI and other agencies. He grew up with Michael Cohen--Trump's former "fixer" attorney. Cohen's family owned El Caribe, which was a mob hangout for the Russian Mafia in Brooklyn. Cohen had ties to Ukrainian oligarchs through his in-laws and his brother's in-laws. Felix Sater's father had ties to the Russian mob. This goes back more than 30 years.
► Trump was $4 billion in debt after his Atlantic City casinos went bankrupt. No U.S. bank would touch him. Then foreign money began flowing in through Bayrock (mentioned above). Bayrock was run by two investors: Tevfik Arif, a Kazakhstan-born former Soviet official who drew on bottomless sources of money from the former Soviet republic; and Felix Sater, a Russian-born businessman who had pleaded guilty in the 1990s to a huge stock-fraud scheme involving the Russian mafia. Bayrock partnered with Trump in 2005 and poured money into the Trump organization under the legal guise of licensing his name and property management.
► In July 2008, the height of the housing bust, Trump sold a mansion in Palm Beach for $95 million to Dmitry Rybolovlev, a Russian oligarch. Trump had purchased it four years earlier for $41.35 million. The sale price was nearly $54 million more than Trump had paid for the property. Again, this was the height of the recession when all other property had plummeted in value.
► Semion Mogilevich was the brains behind the Russian Mafia. Mogilevich operatives have been using Trump real estate for decades to launder money. That means Russian Mafia operatives have been part of his fortune for years. Many of them owned condos in Trump Towers and other properties. They were running operations out of Trump's crown jewel.
► So many Russians bought Trump apartments at his developments in Florida that the area became known as Little Moscow. The developers of two of his hotels were Russians with significant links to the Russian mob. The late leader of that mob in the United States, Vyacheslav Kirillovich Ivankov, was living at Trump Tower
► According to a Bloomberg investigation (3/16/2017) into Trump World Tower, “a third of units sold on floors 76 through 83 by 2004 involved people or limited liability companies connected to Russia and neighboring states.”
► In 2013, Federal agents busted an “ultraexclusive, high-stakes, illegal poker ring” run by Russian gangsters out of Trump Tower. They operated card games, illegal gambling websites, and a global sports book and laundered more than $100 million. A condo directly below one owned by Trump reportedly served as HQ for a “sophisticated money-laundering scheme” connected to Semion Mogilevich.
► The Russia Mafia is part and parcel of Russian intelligence. Russia is a mafia state. That is not a metaphor. Putin is head of the Mafia. So the fact that they have been operating out of the home of the president of the United States is deeply disturbing.
► Rudy Giuliani famously prosecuted the Italian mob while he was a federal prosecutor, yet the Russian mob was allowed to thrive. Now he's deeply entwined in the business of Trump and Russian oligarchs. Giuiani appointed Semyon Kislin to the NYC Economic Development Council in 1990, and the FBI described Kislin as having ties to the Russian mob. Of course, it made good political sense for Giuliani to get headlines for smashing the Italian mob.
► A lot of Republicans in Washington are implicated. Boatloads of Russian money went to the GOP--often in legal ways. The NRA got as much as $70M from Russia, then funneled it to the GOP. The Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee lead by McConnell got millions from Leonard Blavatnik. In the 90s, the Russians began sending money to top GOP leaders, like Speaker of the House Tom Delay. Craig Unger's book alleges that most of the GOP leadership has been compromised by RU money.
► At the Cityscape USA’s Bridging US and the Emerging Real Estate Markets Conference held in Manhattan, on September 9, 10, and 11, 2008, Donald Trump Jr. was frank about the tide of Russian money supporting the family business, saying "...And in terms of high-end product influx into the US, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets."
► Eric Trump told golf reporter James Dodson in 2014 that the Trump Organization was able to expand during the financial crisis because “We don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.”
► It's believed that Russian oligarchs co-signed Trump’s Deutsche bank loans.
Alex Navalny has insinuated Paul Manafort passed along Trump's campaign information to the Kremlin via Kilimnik. In a 25-minute Youtube video (Russian with subtitles), Navalny shows footage of Deripaska with Russian deputy prime minister Sergei Prikhodko on his yacht in Norway in August 2016. Based on that footage, he alleges that information about the Trump campaign must have passed between the two. Senate Intelligence Report I believe concluded Paul gave the information to known Russian asset but that we have no proof this asset gave the information to the Kremlin? Im hoping someone in the comments has some more on the Paul Manafort accusation to perhaps clear this bullet up in a future edit.

Trump now gleefully takes cues from Putin:
► Trump went against American intelligence on North Korean missiles. He told the FBI he didn't believe their intelligence because Putin told him otherwise. “I don't care, I believe Putin"
Trump met in secret with Putin at the G20 summit in November 2018, without note takers. 19 days later, he announced a withdrawal from Syria.
Trump refused to enforce sanctions legally codified into law - and in some cases reversed standing sanctions on Russian companies.
► He has denounced his own intelligence agencies in a press conference with Putin on election meddling - and publicly endorsed Putin's version of events.
Demanded Russia get invited back into G7
► Pushed the CIA to give American intelligence to the Kremlin.
► Withdrew from the Open Skies treaty

EDIT -
First want to say thanks for taking the time to read the post. Please take the time to also VOTE this election. Also thank you various users for the rewards and support.
On to actual edits :)
Firstly I've removed the link to Trump / Russian bounties allegations. Which was the last point in the post originally due to its lack of factual evidence.
Second I've changed a few points wording.
Third I've added a new bullet at the end that was passed a long to me yesterday by another user in another thread about Trump and his campaign manager.
Fourth I'd like to point out that this post is a collection of points from various other users in other threads and I personally don't want to take any credit for this post as I'm just carrying the torch with this post of several users before me who compiled many of these points.

[Let's Build] 100 Quests, Side-Quests and Encounters based on or inspired by Folk Songs

Thought this might be a good way of bringing up some new story ideas, and fun for any folkies in your party.
  1. The party must intervene when a pair of nobles' dispute over hunting rights threatens bloodshed (Bella Hardy - The Driving of the Deer)
  2. A mysterious innkeeper gives a low-level party advice on how to bluff that they are far more experienced adventurers than they in fact are (Paddy West - trad.)

  7. The party's bard has their professional and personal life threatened by a doppelganger come alive from their song lyrics (Show of Hands - Ink Devil)
  8. One for the horny bard players, the bard has seduced the daughter of a noble house, and their only hope to escape exectuion is to seduce the family's patriarch as well (Willie o' Winsbury - trad.)

  15. The party robs a high-ranking military officer but are betrayed by an accomplice. (Whiskey in the Jar - trad.)
  16. The players are tasked to deliver a magic fiddle, white as bone and strung with golden strings, to the wedding of the Lords son. When they arrive the fiddle begins to play itself and sings a song telling how the bride drowned her own sister -the original paramour of the lords son- and blamed the miller who was hung. The fiddle is made from the dead sistets bones and golden hair. (Two Sisters - trad.) ajchafe
  17. There is a desert which is deemed impassable, lengthening trade routes significantly. Occasionally people try to cross it, and even more rarely, some come back. Those that return have no memory of who they were. Turns out the only way to cross this enchanted desert is to cross with a horse that has never been named. (A Horse with No Name- America) Falconacious
  18. A family is haunted by two ghosts, who are slowly terrorizing more and more of the town. Unknown to anyone but the family, the ghosts are of their daughter and her lover who the parents refused to let marry. The fathers silver dagger holds the key to their rest. (The Silver Dagger - Hey! Rosetta and many others). ajchafe
  19. A scoundrel, Black Jack Davy, has abducted a nobles young wife and the party are tasked to help him find her. However, the wife was never abducted at all but ran off with Davy of her own accord. (Black Jack Davy - The White Stripes, or a million other versions under different names like The Raggle Taggle Gypsy). ajchafe

  25. The party gets invited to the wedding of a local lord who went back on a promise to an arranged marriage. The other kingdom did not think that he or his people deserved life after this (Red wedding) 20-25 suggested by seriousd6
  26. Traveling with a cargo ship as part of the security detail, the team must keep themselves alive when unseasonable weather threatens death to the entire ship's compliment. (The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot) Vote_For_Knife_Party
  27. The party meets the only living son of a family from a far off island, working as a sailor to send money home to support his parents. He longs to return to his homeland; will our heroes help him? (Farewell to Nova Scotia, trad)
  28. After seeking passage on a tall ship to a far-off city, the party discovers a group of sailors plotting mutiny against the vicious second mate, known far and wide for his abuses of the working seamen. Will the party alert the officers to ensure order doesn't break down during their journey, or aid the crew in their righteous resistance? (Strike the Bell, trad)
  29. Our adventurers encounter a brave and well-known knight drowning his sorrows in the local tavern. He has been called upon by the elderly king to make a sailing voyage on his behalf; the knight has seen grave portents that a mighty cursèd storm will sink his vessel, but is bound by duty to obey the king nevertheless, even to his own doom. (Sir Patrick Spens, trad, e.g. Jon Boden's version)
  30. The party comes across a crew of cocky merchant travelers who have made a great business of voyaging through dangerous territory and defeating any roving bandits they come across along their way. Will the merchants' luck hold through their next encounter, or have they overestimated their own strength? (Black Ball Line, trad)
  31. Members of a brutal gang surreptitiously sign on to work as sailors on a ship laden with precious cargo, planning to revolt and capture the vessel and abscond with the goods. Unbeknownst to them, the captain is aware of their plan, and has hired the party of adventurers to work undercover as crewmen and foil the mutiny. (The Dreadnaught Mutiny, Jerry Bryant) These last few by j-hermann
  32. A demon is terrorizing a village trying to steal the people’s souls. The demon challenges the party saying that he challenges them to play an instrument (preferably a fiddle) against him. They lose, their souls are taken. They win, they get a golden version of the instrument used. (The Devil Went Down To Georgia - The Charlie Daniels Band) ShutUpPeyton
  33. A cleric needs your help crossing the lands and a large river so he can create food for people in the village on the other side. But a devil is waiting for him somewhere in disguise to stop him on the highly trafficked path. He needs protection saying that you can work out who the devil is eventually as it won't tell you what it knows you don't know so can only tell you things you know. - Get Thee Behind Me - Jason Charles Miller Tetcher
  34. The party is distracted by a commotion at a farm by the roadside. While cleaning out the sty, a farmer’s pigs have escaped and are wreaking havoc; some of them seem rather intelligent. (The Mucking of Georide’s Byre and/or McGinty’s Pigs, both traditional Scottish. The former will need a translation if one wishes to pull more details, and might be spelled wrong, as I’ve never actually seen the title written down) Teh_Doctah
  35. The party encounters a man who is waxing poetic about his lover; the guards seem to be looking for him. Turns out his lover is a succubus that’s been convincing him to commit various crimes. (The Black Velvet Band, traditional Irish; The Irish Rovers have a good version) Teh_Doctah
    Can I just say at this point that I love how many folkies turn out to be on this sub? Maybe not such a surprise but still nice to see :)
  36. The party shows up to a town at the foot of a mountain where a caravan of 30,000lbs of bananas crashed into it. They are hired by the town, alongside a local bard, to investigate what happened. As the party come to know the bard, they learn he was having a lot of writer's block as of late. This wreck, as terrible as it is, apparently has the muse inspiring him again. He decided to pick up this job to investigate further so he could come up with a really good ending to his new song. Every ending he writes ends up with him saying it sucks. As they investigate what went down, they find out that the wagon was sabotaged by a malicious Fey seeking to inspire the Bard into writing again. The party and the Bard defeat the Fey or do whatever they decide to do. As they return to town victorious, the Bard finally is hit with the inspiration to write a proper ending to the song. (Harry Chapin - 30,000 Pounds of Bananas) SurrealSage
  37. This one is the exact situation of the source material. A NPC friend of the party gets the party to help him with the heart of the girl of his dreams, but she is from a higher social class than him. His beloved's father keeps them apart, and the NPC gets blackmail on the beloved's father: He's been cheating on his wife with the NPC's mother. He blackmails his beloved's father, only for his beloved's father to still send her away.
