OK, so you might be wondering about my name. Well, it's a two part thing. I'm calling myself a Colonel because my friends sometimes refer to me as The Colonel, or Colonel Sanders, because I raise chickens. I raise chickens for two reasons. One, I like to produce as much of my own food as possible, and one of the cheapest and easiest ways to do that is by keeping a flock of half-wild chickens in your yard for meat and eggs. Seriously, it takes less than 15 minutes a day to take care of several dozen chickens and I eat like a king from it.
The Hayduke part is a reference to the character of two Edward Abbey novels, George Hayduke. If haven't read The Monkeywrench Gang and Hayduke Lives, get off your ass and read them. I'm not going to explain George Hayduke any further because I don't want to ruin the books for the ignorant among us.
Now this is the internet, so I'd like to maintain some level of anonymity so I can feel free to say whatever the Hell I want. So suffice it to say that my real name is Gavin and I'm a grad student somewhere and I'm an Ecologist. If you really wanted to track me down I'm sure you have enough information from here at this point but I'm betting that almost everyone that reads this blog either already knows me or isn't going to care enough.
Anyway, this blog isn't supposed to be me ranting about myself all the time so I guess that's enough for now. If I blog about something that I have personal experience with I'll divulge that when it comes up. Besides, hardly anybody is going to read this post anyway. I could put anything in here, nobody would know. Cucumber. Octopus.
