The Job I Want
I’ve been looking for jobs online lately and this is the first posting I’ve found that really resonated with me.
“Are you sitting around waiting for a mission in life? Feeling helpless as you’re tossed and turned by events? Helplessly reacting to the deeds of the of the evil doers instead of taking action to put our civilization back on course? Well then you might have what it takes to join us, join us in this great mission to restore morality and human decency to our sickly species to drive the evil ones and the vile opportunists from the agora of the public realm, to aid the rapid transmutation and transformation of our world from a fossil fuel dependent weather wrecking nightmare of never-ending burning summer and fire and destruction and pain and boredom. Join us in the salvation of our home planet and the salvation of humanity. We’ll get those sleaze bags yet and we’ll put them in the pit of despair. If you’d like to enquire about this mission or the film rights drop us a line.” – The Voice of the Desert

Five Things: Desert Oracle
The Desert Oracle is the aptly-coined “Voice of the Desert,” a pocket-sized field guide that recalls something of a mix between a FoxFire Book, the Farmer’s Almanac and Weekly World News. Ken Layne, writer, desert enthusiast and brains behind The Oracle, also leads Campfire Stories at our Palm Springs waypost every first Thursday of the month, where he regales eager listeners with tales of desert beasts and ancient legends. Gather round — next one’s September 7. In the meantime, a glimpse into the Desert Oracle’s library.
Five Books In Every Desert Lover’s Library
By DESERT ORACLE
People have been writing about the desert since the days of Abraham, so there are plenty of books on the topic. If you demand great writing with your desert education, start with these five essential books. You can find used editions in many desert towns, or buy them at your local bookseller or national park gift shop.
