Playmobil Toy Bullfight Set
With San Isidro upon us my thoughts target Los Toros. This toy, sourced at ToroShopping.com is sure to please the taurine addict among us and definitely the bambino's. I want it so bad I can taste the sand.

Wish List 2013
It's been over fifteen years since I last trained on the sand with my friend Coleman Cooney of The California Academy of Tauromachia. I'm well over due.
MAN of the WORLD - No.1 - Eerily on it
The mail arrived Saturday. Among the holiday Cabela's/Bean/Safari Press catalogs, Midway flyer's and everything else was a very simple, large, white envelope with something heavy inside. The return address said MAN of the WORLD and I had no clue what it was...or what I was in for.
Upon turning the first page I felt like someone had literally crawled inside my head and created a magazine from it. A full page color shot of a Wes Lang, ornithological, drawing on Chateau Marmont stationary! A two page, inside cover pic of a purple, Chevy Malibu lightin' up tires? A photo of the inside of a suitcase that had everything I appreciate like knives and watches and old books. A feature story about Backgammon. And a picture of a guy that looks very similar too me.
The Collection Inside
I handed the thing to my wife and watched her flip the same pages. She looked oddly at me and said "this is you." How did they find me? What list am I on? And more so how fucking good are data mining companies that they should send the first edition of a periodical to a future subscriber. They nailed it. I'm sold and it appears I am not alone in my pursuits and interests. If these cats do a spread about Bullfighting..I'll shit my britches.

Lehmann RIGI #900 Cable Car
I will never forget seeing this at the toy store in Vail, CO. when I was a kid and always wanting one. That was back in the day when KFC was on the corner of Bridge Street and Vail was cool. My parents sold the house in Vail and I finally tracked one of these vintage babies down.
