Braverest New World Yet! More to Come!

There is a man whom the locals call Baker. He runs an organic farm, lives in a teepee on twelve acres and has at least 201 chickens. He sports some kind of Indian haircut like off Dances with Wolves. I like him.
The other day I saw him with a giant blue barrel on the back of his diesel flatbed truck. A long black rubber hose was winding down from the barrel into his gas tank.
Huh.?
I hear him and another guy talking excitedly about the future of GREASEL. Vegetable oil is a-ok to run in a diesel engine. Apparently Mr. Diesel himself envisioned such a thing and some angry oil man stole it all away...
Not from Baker.
He's taking it back. That blue barrel was 100% pure used restaurant fry oil, and it was free. He had a piece of panty-hose wrapped around the end of the hose to keep out the dregs. The exhaust smelled like french fries. Mmm. Think of it.

About Me

Someimtes I feel like I was made for distant lands and agricultural awareness. You know, the kind of guy that carries a machete and fights bad guys all in the name of God.
