The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Waiting for El Trucko

City people are more artsy-craftsy than the people on Garbin Moraine. They go to theaters and watch plays like Waiting for Godot. In the country we order stuff online and then wait for El Trucko. There are two incarnations of El Trucko. One is Santaups and the other is Santafed. To amuse ourselves we watch the stuff cross the country on the computer while the trucks carrying it cloud the atmosphere with CO2 but since we are not driving the car to town to buy stuff we get carbon credits for not emitting CO2. Our latest order is now sitting next to Lake Superior so it is getting closer. For now we just wait.

You should be getting paid for these writings. Just think you wouldn't have to sit and watch the wood dry.
