Illustration Description
As he struggles with the pair of calves he got at auction, Wyatt realizes he should have bought the Huskie team instead. But at the time, he felt dogs would clash with his western motif. These doggies are singularly untrainable! He did get a good buy on the anvil, though.

Good Evening. This site is inspired by the writings of author John Hodgman and his book Areas of My Expertise. It is meant as an homage to the
wandering men and women who chose to ride the rails during and before The Great Depression, and not the contemporary urban (or rural) poor.
