You see those documentaries about the earliest hot dog skaters, dropping into empty swimming pools and riding crazy up to the edges and all. And you can’t help but think…
That’s not their back yard. Who’s pool is that and when are they gonna come busting out of the house with a shotgun?
Any of you guys in Portland?
The one in Oregon. Not the other one.
There’s probably more than one other one, but you know what I mean.

Moody. That’s the word for it, right? Moooooody.
Or, if you’re a painting student, “monochromatic”…
Or, if you’re a cartoonist, “Really Purple” or “Lazy”
Don’t you love it? “Every time I’ve been to the skate park, it’s been way too crowded. They should do something!”
“So, when do you go?”
“Same time every day- right after work.”
“Could you go a different time of day?”
“Why?”
