The best thing I ever had when I was a kid was a big back yard. The landscape behind my house was perfect for somebody with an inclination to explore. Fields of tall grass gave way to a swamp, which in turn was hemmed in by a forest. Hidden among those trees were old junk cars, stacks [...]

No Faux Fir
Merry Christmas. Keep it legit. It ain’t about presents. It’s about presence. Here’s one from Salt Chuthers. I read his stuff and realize that I was there sometimes during all of this and that this is not fiction and, really, when you’re standing in a snowbank chopping down a tree when you’re seven years [...]
The Moose
Today in the News: Christopherson Salt Chuthers returns with the best description of a moose I’ve ever read. He returned my call for a guest article immediately. Thanks, bro.

Buck FX Protege and 444 Review

The Baby Graveyard
Today in the News: Well, the new job started last Saturday. I’m going to try to keep posting regularly, but I’m not promising anything. In an effort to make the blogging a little easier, I’m doing away with the “Today in the News” and “Link of the Day” section for now. If you have any [...]
Hunting in Squa Pan Junction
Today in the News: Christopherson Salt Chuthers makes his debut today on The Axe. I’ve known Chuthers for most of my life and have endured many near-death and near-arrest experiences with him. He’s a preacher’s kid, what do you expect? In all honesty, Chuthers was my inspiration to start writing. Between the stories that we created [...]
