Big Green River

After lunch on Friday I headed over to the Big Green. On my first cast, I caught a small northern pike. It surprised me because it was trout-sized and I didn't see what I had until I reeled him in all the way. I let him go. Hopefully he won't eat too many of the trout.

I fished for just a little over an hour and caught nine brown trout.

After that, I took a leisurely drive up the Mississippi from Prarie du Chien to La Crosse. I had dinner in La Crosse at Taqueria Pato Azul and then headed back to camp for the night.

On Saturday morning I slept in until the frost melted, had breakfast and headed home to Milwaukee.

[im-the-antonymph-of-your-mom]

this episode is DELIGHTFUL but the Elvis references felt weird

[raffyperez]

bury me not on the lone prarie ; western / cowboy au for rafael & violet.

it's a far cry from the lonesome desert landscapes rafael is so used to inhabiting, fertile ground lush with grass and thick oak forests populated by deer, bears, pheasant. calamity whinnies as a squirrel crosses their path, running after another. a town is up on the horizon, where the made dirt track through the winding valleys and mountains fades into thick mud from many a cart wheel crossing over; once, duck boards were put down so ladies in their finery could safely cross the way but the cloying mire in the middle of the road had soon swallowed them to. the buildings are sturdy wood, though not huge, it contains the necessities for a man like himself – a general store, a physician, a gun shop, a hotel with a bath service, stables and the most important of the three, a bar. there’s a church to but, while his pa was a big believer in the almighty, the only religion he’s been able to follow is that of bounty justice. the latter is a grand two storey building, saloon doors swinging as folks make their way in and out. as the sun sets, the music and laughter seem to get louder, carried on the wind to rafael who is slowly making his approach. hooves make soft thuds, the jostle of hindquarters causing metal to hit metal, rafael's belt against the bullets he keeps strapped to his chest.

by the time he comes into town it's darker still, winter nights drawing in the night and the cold. more flock to the saloon, some hang around outside, men with the women they're soft on, a few drunk and hung over the edge of the hitching post. the entrance is illuminated by small electric lamps, and rafael climbs off calamity as he ties her up outside. the animal whinnies again, blowing air from her nostrils before leaning in to drink from the filled trough infront of her. raf looks at the mud against her legs and rear - he needs to get her to a stable tomorrow for a proper clean. healthy horse, healthy travels, an old timer once told him enthuastically. he hadn't been wrong. he enters the unfamiliar environment, the noise from outside seemingly turned up. there are songs playing, someone at the piano, women laughing, men squabbling over small tables. In a corner, a large group silently glares at eachother, cards in hand for a game of poker. one of them has bet his horse, another a plot of land where he intended to buy a house - only fools bet what they don't have yet.

his boots thud heavily on the floor, spurs twanging, the bounty hunter dressed all in black makes his way to an empty portion of the bar. a few heads turn ; la muerte negra they whisper down south. Nobody this far north speaks the language, they stick to calling him perez. rafael dislikes that, both the moniker and his surname, taking a seat and raising a hand to get the attention of the barmaid. she's pretty, young, bright smile, the type that thrives in the wild environment a tavern brings. she'll break your heart.

"whiskey please missy," rafael asks her once she peels herself away from men who desperately call for more beer, more attention.

k.d. lang at the Studio Bell National Music Centre in Calgary, AB

(transcriptions below cut)

First Image:

For over 25 years, k.d. lang's remarkably rich voice has earned her a reputation as one of the world's greatest and most innovative artists. She was inducted [into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame] in 2013 Grâce à sa voix d'une grande richesse, k.d. lang est considérée depuis plus de 25 ans comme l'une des plus grandes et innovatrices chanteuses du monde. Elle a été intronisee [au Panthéon de la musique canadienne] en 2013.

Second Image:

"I had a vision of how I wanted to perform country. And I just went ahead and did it." - k.d. lang (plaque beneath not pictured) 1989 k.d. lang and Roy Orbison win a Grammy for their duet "Crying." The outspoken lang, who playfully donned a wedding dress and cowboy boots to accept her 1985 JUNO Award for Most Promising Female Vocalist, will come out of the closet in a 1992 interview with The Advocat magazine, making her the world's first openly lesbian pop icon.

Third Image:

How exactly did a cowpunk raised in Consort, Alberta, captivate Nashville, end up on the cover of Vanity Fair and redefine what a pop star can be? The answer, of course, is that voice. Deeply resonant, sultry and with astonishing range, power and pitch, k.d. lang’s voice prompted legendary singing partner Tony Bennett to call her "the best singer since Judy Garland." It's a natural gift; lang had little professional training aside from vocal and piano lessons her mother, a schoolteacher, enrolled her in as a kid. Born November 2, 1961, in Edmonton "The voice is just like a living organism. It's such a weird, volatile instrument." She's a powerful vocalist, but lang describes her singing style as "minialist," something she attributes to growing up on the praries.
