My hex on writers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In "Burning the Days", James Salter wrote of his fellow fighter pilots after Korea vanished from his gunsights. “Once in a while in a locker room or bar I would hear a remark that someone, a name from those days, had been killed in a flying accident, but like Conrad’s shipmates on the Narcissus, I never saw any of them again.” In my life people scatter never to be seen again or die. Friends become unfriends. Good riddance to some relatives, and adios work colleagues. I’m a hex. Real writers come
Places you can’t forget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thirteen years ago I wrote of highways with memorable names. I mentioned Whiskey Road and Easy Street in Aiken as one of the countryâs more photographed road signs. In Albany, Georgia, Lonesome and Hardup Roads make an interesting intersection, and in McCormick County youâll find Redemption Way, the road to the state prison for men. I wrote, too, of Sewer Plant Road in North Carolina, a realtorâs dread I bet. Now I turn my attention to southern towns and places with unforgettable names. Se
Puttin’ out the fire (opens the original)

âAs night deepened all he could see was the shifting line of fire, like some malfunction in the wiring of the world.â â William Gay, âProvinces of Nightâ âIn the draws the smoke coming off the ground like mist and the thin black trees burning on the slopes like heathen candles.â â Cormac McCarthy, âThe Roadâ Heathen candles and malfunctioning wiring ...

Into the Lebanon Silver Mine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
8-22-2026—a day for numbers, a day to visit the Old West. From Denver’s mile-high air we took I-70 45 miles west to an elevation of 8,772 feet to board an 1884 steam train. We rode that corkscrewing train 406 feet up Republican Mountain over 3 miles of 3-foot-gauge track, crossing Devil’s Gate High Bridge 95 feet over Clear Creek along the way. At 9,178 feet we detrained to walk 600 feet into the Lebanon Silver Mine. In the dark, wet tunnel we stood beneath I-70 which runs to Utah 227 miles dist
Drinks with Buffalo Bill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve drifted far from home ... Dearly Departed they call this Denver bar. With good reason. Joseph Bona pumped embalming fluid into Buffalo Bill here. Plus, they sold caskets in this bar once upon a time. Restaurants, a legend, winter, a bar, bison and knife make for a wild funereal tale. After William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody died in Denver on Jan. 10, 1917, men carried his body to Olinger Mortuary. Four days later, Cody lay in state at the Capitol rotunda. More than 25,000 people paid their resp
