Beck bashing?
I began reading Mr. Munz’s article (“Glenn Beck has spoken,” July
7) about Glenn Beck’s independence day rally with some interest. That
particular issue was given to me by a friend who recommended it. He
said in fact that there was a great article inside debunking GB as a fraud
who spewed out misinformation and outright untruths. I happen to be a
GB fan, but I’m always on the lookout for the truth even if it is painful to
take occasionally.
So again, I began the article with an open mind. However, it seems
that Mr. Munz is on a little crusade of his own. While he insinuated at

Nation of anti-immigrants
It’s been a while, Jackson, since
I’ve written this column, so I’ll create as much surface area as possible
for derisive blows: I’d like to invite
immigrants to come to Jackson
Hole to work the jobs that we won’t
because we’re entitled, proud and
educated (though surprisingly antiintellectual). I’d like undocumented
immigrants to bring their forged Social Security cards so that they can
contribute taxes to a system that
they’ll never benefit from while they
watch our kids, build our homes,
cook our food and wash our dishes,
among many other jobs that pay so
little that only a person planning on
retiring in a third-world community
could make them sustainable.
But alas, the listing of Jackson
Hole as a “sanctuary city” by Ohio
Jobs & Justice PAC appears to be unfounded. OJJPAC’s website says that
“formal sanctuary cities are the easiest to identify because their sanctuary policies are in writing, often
get the attention of the media, and
subject to public records requests
by citizens and the press.”
Town clerk Roxanne DeVries
Robinson told Ohio Jobs that the
Town follows state and federal rules
regarding the reporting of undocumented immigrants.
The site references lax driver’s license regulations as a sign of sanctuary cities, when just today I
received notice from WYDOT that
license security updates will include
“training to recognize counterfeit
birth certificates, passports or other
identification documents.”
Finally, the website said that unwritten sanctuary policies include
police departments that do not
“contact ICE after determining that
a driver involved in a misdemeanor
traffic stop is likely an illegal alien.”
We all remember the Mexican

national deported after getting a
ticket for riding without a seatbelt,
and Latino Resource Center executive director Estela Torres told JH
Weekly that in her experience undocumented workers in Jackson
Hole are rounded up and deported.
Still, area residents have sent letters to Town officials implying that
immigrants are taking jobs that “natives” should have.
Joseph Byers in the News&Guide
wrote that they are “sending money
back to Mexico and supporting
their economy.” To which, Joel
Wenger seems to be directly responding in a letter to the
News&Guide: “Let us also remember, that had our U.S. businesses
and industries not relocated to
other countries for higher profit
margins in the last 30-40 years there
would be many more jobs now.”
More to the point, a 2007 University of Wyoming study determined
that local immigrant households
spent 80 percent of their incomes,
or $91 million dollars, in Teton
County. They held 14 percent of
local jobs, yet accounted for only 13
percent of local earnings.
Torres blamed the “sanctuary
city” accusations on the economy.
“It’s the mood of the country because the economy is bad,” she
said. “They want to take it out on
somebody else. I look at it as they
are entitled to their opinion, but
overall immigrants contribute to
the economy.”
And, immigrants have also been
affected by the economy, with
many leaving Jackson Hole since
2008 because even they couldn’t
find work here.
But I’ve done exactly what I intended to object to, namely the
proffering of a metered and evidence-based response to inaccurate
and anecdotal accusations.
What I started to say is that Jackson Hole is a sanctuary, if you will,
for tourists, the wealthy, independent thinkers and social misfits with
big egos, all whom I’d expect would
want to extend their freedoms to
people of all races and nationalities.
Look how comfortable we’ve become with homosexuality. JHW

times that GB’s facts were incorrect, he didn’t offer one single counter
ing remarks about the audience, the speaker and even the founding fathers. Going so far as to put down GB’s choice in attire and his
mannerisms on stage. It is laughable to think that Mr. Munz might consider himself a credible journalist and at the same time think of GB as a
fraud. There is some serious irony here, maybe you should consider extending the few comics you share with your readers and let Mr. Munz
critique Charlie Brown and Andy Capp. At least then it could be considered a matched battle of intellects.

Thanks for your support
I would like to thank all of those people who supported my campaign
throughout the summer. I would especially like to thank those dedicated,
volunteer Walk Ons for their wonderful display of commitment and determination. Your “never say die” attitude was truly inspirational and I
will miss our daily interactions a great deal. I am honored to have been
associated with such fine people and humbled that so many would donate their time and money to our campaign. You will always have my
heartfelt thanks and gratitude, and I hope that you will help me finish the
work left undone.
Thank you and Go Pokes.

Gannett Peak in the Wind Rivers
This time of year is the best time to head into The Wind River Range. The cool nighttime temps and
drier terrain usually eliminate the pesky mosquitoes that hover around during the early evening hours.
My friend and I are hiking into Titcomb Basin this week in an attempt to climb the highest peak in
Wyoming, Gannett Peak (13,804 feet). Our approach starts from the Pinedale side at the Elkhart Park lot. We
will hike in approximately 14 miles to Titcomb Basin. We will then scramble up to the top of Dinwoody Pass
(aka Bonney Pass), and bivouac for the night. Summit day will consist of descending down to the glacier, and
climbing the South Couloir (I, Snow 4) up to the summit ridge to the summit, descending back down the South
Couloir, and hiking back up to the top of the pass again to spend the night. The following day, we will descend
back to our basecamp at the south end of Titcomb. Depending on the weather, we may do another climb in the
area. For a lot of people, the crux of the trip is climbing up over, and back on Dinwoody Pass. Recommended gear
for climbing Gannett is a few snow protection pieces, ice axe, crampons, stiff vibram sole boots, helmets, rope, a
very small rack of rock pro and ample amounts of stamina. The trip in and out will be approximately 40 miles. Fortunately for me, my friend is hiring a horse packer to carry in and out the bulky gear. For more beta: go online, or check
out Climbing and Hiking Wind River Mts. by my old friend, Joe Kelsey. Rock On!

Former JH scribe on web
By Jake Nichols
JH Weekly’s recently departed
Senior Reporter Ben Cannon surfaced in cyberspace with a video
tutorial on how to properly read the
latest issue of Sueddeutsche
Zeitung. Issue 33 (on shelves in
Germany August 20) is the first
magazine in the world to be enriched with bonus attractions and
capabilities only available when the
print mag is read ‘through’ a smart
phone using a free downloadable
application.
Cannon walks SZ readers
through the process
[www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRce
OYbrVzc] which will allow users to
view material embedded and hidden in the print material. Cannon
called the multimedia enhancement the first of its kind, adding
that it was the result of a cooperative effort with Augmented Reality.
A consensus from the comments
at the YouTube site seemed less interested in the stunning new design
and more skewed toward wondering what was living underneath
Cannon’s nose. Apparently, his
stache doesn’t play well with the blogosphere.
LA finds 18 reasons to visit Wyo.
Christopher Reynolds’ video
essay on Wyoming begins rather
suspiciously – dissing Yellowstone
traffic and unpredictable weather –
but the LA Times journalist manages to come up with “18 arguments in favor of Wyoming by the
end of the four-minute spot.
“It looks empty, but there’s a lot
up here,” Reynolds said of the area
between Cody and Jackson.
The video footage begins with
the crash-and-burn of a paraglider
team trying to launch off of Rendezvous Mountain. Yellowstone
and Grand Teton national parks
had their respective features highlighted among the 18 things worth
checking out. None were a surprise
except maybe the bungee jump at
Teton Village – really?
BEN CANNON/YOUTUBE.COM
Park stupidity blamed on gadgets
Ben Cannon shows off German glossy.
The Boston Globe carried a story
on the increasing number of accident incidents at our national parks
– now, if only tourists will read it.
The piece began by recalling the
story of Utard Cathy Hayes. The
Farr West, Utah resident videotaped
her up-close-and-personal run-in
with a Yellowstone bison. The
footage was originally aired by CNN
doing a story on the goring. In it,
Hayes jokes, “Watch, we’ll get a
shot of Donald getting gored by a
buffalo.” Her companion was all
too eager to make this prediction
come true. He reportedly threw
sticks at the beast until it charged
both he and Hayes.
The tale might be humorous if it
wasn’t so true and that’s what has
park authorities concerned with the
growing number of dumb moves
made by folks with electronic devices. While some national park visitors put gadgets to good use, others
get themselves into trouble.
“People with cell phones call
rangers from mountaintops to request refreshments or a guide. In
Jackson Hole, Wyo., one lost hiker
even asked for hot chocolate,” the
story read. “Last fall, a group of hikers in [Grand Canyon] called in rescue helicopters three times by
pressing the emergency button on
their satellite location device. When
rangers arrived the second time,
the hikers explained that their
water supply ‘tasted salty.’”
“Because of having that electronic device, people have an expectation that they can do
something stupid and be rescued,’’ GTNP spokeswoman Jackie
Skaggs told the Globe. “Every once
in a while we get a call from someone who has gone to the top of a
peak, the weather has turned, and
they are confused about how to get
down and they want someone to
personally escort them. The answer is that you are up there for
the night.” JHW

NEWS BRIEFS
B
By Benjamin R. Bombard
Boardroom owner Marc Loebe has fallen deep in debt over the past two years.
Boardroom may be boarded up
After 15 years, Mark Loebe is selling or shuttering the shop.
Looking at his shop from a
sidewalk along West Broadway,
and on his past with the Boardroom, Marc Loebe has no regrets.
“They were some really good
years. I met some fun people and
had a good run,” he said. “I’m
glad I did it, even though it didn’t
end how I pictured it. If I had the
choice, I’d do it all again.”
Months before the economy
took a swan dive during the fall of
2008, Loebe, the owner of the
skate- and snowboard shop, was
sitting pretty. Anticipating booming winter sales for the Boardroom in ’08, Loebe said he
“stepped it up” and ordered more
snowboarding gear to sell in his
shop than he had in years past.
When September and all that
gear arrived, the economy
smacked belly first onto hard reality. It was all but impossible for
Loebe to sell enough products at
his shop to keep pace with the
accounts payable file as it grew
fatter and fatter and the recession dragged on. People just
weren’t buying snowboard gear.
A few months ago, Loebe realized that the debt hole the Boardroom has dug since 2008 is too
deep for him to fill, and after 15
years as proprietor, he has decided to sell the business or shutter the doors for good.
Boardroom evolution
A wiry, wide-eyed, mustachioed guy with a jet of white
hair for a goatee, Loebe grew up
in Worland, Wyo. He became an
avid skier when he moved to
Jackson 30 years ago. He was
never a strong skateboarder, but
8 August 25 - 31, 2010
he got into snowboarding in the
sport’s early days. As an employee at Jackson Hole Ski and
Sports and later the owner of the
Boardroom, he said he has
played his small part in the
growth of snowboarding and
companies like Burton.
Kevin Guercio and Cisco
Oldani opened the Boardshop in
the winter of 1991 in the tiny cor-

trying not to
lose my house.”

ner building – now Sands Whitewater – at Glenwood and
Broadway. Loebe bought the
shop from them in 1995 when it
was at its Pearl Street location.
He moved it and the store’s
iconic skateboarding half-pipe
back onto Broadway in 2001.
Until Sept. 30, customers can
still walk into the Boardroom and
see the evolution of snowboarding tacked onto the shop’s wall.
The lineup of vintage snowboards includes a wooden, dovetail Burton “Performer” board, a
Craig Kelly “Mystery Air” model
from 1990, and even a ropeguided Snurfer.
Since that anemic 2008 retail
season, Loebe has rung up almost
$70,000 in debt. A number of factors have contributed to the
Boardroom’s poor financial status under Loebe’s watch. Of
course, there’s the recession,
which, he said, fundamentally
changed Americans’ buying be-
haviors. He also explained that
Internet sales have had a significant negative impact on business.
Matt Grabowski has worked at
the Boardroom for five years, and
he’s the only employee on the
shop’s payroll. He said the Internet was the “slayer that killed the
dragon.” A Burton Malolo model
board available on sale at the
Boardroom for $385 can be
bought on eBay for $30 less after
shipping and handling. For cashstrapped snowboarders, $30 will
buy a few après ski 12 packs.
In the shop’s main retail area,
top-of-the-line snowboards, last
year’s models, are discounted 30
percent from their suggested retail prices. In another room further back, coats, boots and other
gear is discounted as much as 60
percent.
During my interview with
Loebe last week, a girl bought a
black and white striped snowboarding coat at 40-percent off.
Loebe said that after factoring in
shipping, unpacking, display and
sale of the coat, he actually lost
money on that sale. “By then, I’m
not even breaking even,” he said.
Grabowksi pointed out one
snowboard on the racks he
guesses no other store in the nation, probably even eBay, can
boast that it carries. A Lib Tech
Banana Hammock signed and
doodled on by professional snowboarder and local resident Travis
Rice. But when money’s tight, a
snowboard signed by God himself
might need to be heavily discounted to sell.

COURTESY JOHN THORN
For years, local psychiatrist John Thorn traveled around the country on
business. Like a lot of business travelers, his work required him to lug around
quite a few techno gadgets – a computer, a mouse, a printer, a cell phone – as
well as all the cords needed to plug them into the wall and into one another.
“Every time I put my hand in my briefcase, I’d come out with a handful of
black spaghetti,” Thorn recalled.
Thorn looked around on the market for a solution, something that could
wind up cords neatly and efficiently. When he didn’t find what he was looking
for, he made it himself. The result is called Coil.
A Coil is a rubber device that looks like a hockey puck with a convex top.
Pulling up on the rubbery top exposes the spindle. Cord-swamped consumers

Thorn loaned one of the Coil prototypes to a friend to get some real-world

Coils will come in two sizes: small Coils for MP3 player cords and headphones will cost $6.95, and large Coils for cords to laptops, desktops, household appliances, and of course coffee makers will sell for $7.95. Thorn said
Coils will be sold online and at six local stores in Jackson Hole.
Who’s this Blenkinsop guy?
After winning a spot on the general election ballot as a write-in candidate, former public defender Greg Blenkinsop said he plans on running a “vigorous campaign” for Teton County Attorney against 14-year incumbent Steve Weichman.
Though Blenkinsop said he had thought about running for the position in
the past, “it was never the right time for
one reason or another.” He claims that
the write-in campaign to get him on November’s ballot this time around wasn’t
his idea. “People asked me what I
thought [about running for county attorney], and I gave it some serious thought,”
Blenkinsop said.
As a youngster, Blenkinsop more or
less knew his future lay in the practice of
law. He was active in speech and debate
clubs as well as moot court in high
school, went on to study pre-law in college and received his law degree at University of Wyoming.
After serving 10 years as the Teton
County public defender, Blenkinsop deGreg Blenkinsop
cided it was time for a professional
change. He took a short-term position in Sweetwater County last year and
moved back to Jackson in April. Since then, he’s been serving as a district court
magistrate, a municipal judge in Alpine and operating his own private practice.
After winning a spot on the general election ballot, Blenkinsop relinquished his
position as magistrate to avoid any potential conflict of interest.
Blenkinsop said it’s hard to rate his chances of defeating Weichman. “I’m
excited to get to know people and share my passion for the law,” he said.
Taking the Bull Fire by the horns
A fire east of Hoback Junction continues to burn and spread a month to
the day after it began. The Bull Fire in the Gros Ventre Wilderness has
grown to encompass 3,047 acres and is consuming trees, shrubs and grasses
– pretty much anything it can get its fiery paws on.
That wily storm that blew in on Sunday did bring some rain with all its
blustery winds, and the moisture helped reduce fire activity, said U.S. Forest
Service Spokeswoman Lesley Williams. With two crews working on the fire,
they seem to be getting a hold of it. Though the Little Granite Road, Bull
Creek and Rough Hollow drainages were still closed as of Tuesday afternoon, the Highline Trail, Cow Creek, Bear Creek and Boulder Creek
drainages were opened on Monday, and so was dispersed camping and fishing along the Granite Creek Road. JHW

in the spring, but after taking a serious look at the store’s books, he canceled the order. This summer,
he’s been trying to sell all the merchandise he has on hand. Given his dismal financial outlook, Loebe
said he has looked into options to remain solvent. “Right now, I’m just trying to not lose my house,”
he said. If Loebe declared bankruptcy, his home would undoubtedly be liquidated to satisfy creditors.
Loebe’s debt is spread out among banks, credit card companies and gear manufacturers – “Everything except friends,” – and he said he will try negotiating with them to get better rates and set up payment plans. “It’s almost going to be a second mortgage,” he said.
To cut his losses, Loebe is trying to sell the business as well as anything and everything at the Boardroom: fixtures, racks, computers, display cases, snowboard repair tools, the half-pipe, fun-boxes, rails,
even the Hawaiian shaved ice machine he bought to bring in a couple extra bucks on the side. However, the sale of those items will make an almost unperceivable dent in his outstanding debt.
Disappointed museum goes to plan B.
On election night last week,
Gary Hughes, the development
director of the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum, was
sitting at his home, glued to the
computer. He was watching election results from the Specific Purpose Excise Tax vote come in on
the News&Guide’s website. That
same day, somebody asked him
how confident he was the museum’s SPET proposal would be
approved by voters.
“I think I told them, ‘It’s not
over till it’s over,” Hughes recalled with some dismay. That’s
because the museum’s SPET
proposal was the one proposal
out of 11 on last Tuesday’s primary election ballot that wasn’t
given the go-ahead by voters.
“Obviously, we were disappointed,” Hughes said. “I was
stunned, especially when only
one of 11 failed. It wasn’t like it
was an all-out attack [on SPET].”
The museum was counting on
voters to include its request for $4
million in the nearly $38 million
of SPET funds that were put before voters for approval. Hughes
said those requested funds would
have paid to build museum exhibits that have already been designed for inclusion in its new
building on North Cache.
Each SPET proposal must be
approved by more than 50 percent of voters to receive funds. Of
the 5,334 voters who cast a vote
on the museum’s proposal, 49
percent gave it the thumbs up - it
failed by just 70 votes.
Half of the 18 districts and
precincts included in the election gave the museum the
thumbs-up. The Mid-East Jackson District was the most enthusiastic about the project judging
by the percentage of approval;
Teton Village registered the highest percentage of disapproval.
Hughes said that looking at the
election results, the further away
from Jackson proper the precinct
or district, the lower the voter approval. In Hughes’s opinion, that
trend demonstrates that “people
in outlying areas don’t have the
same connection with the museum” that people closer to Jackson do. “Maybe we’re not
delivering our message of telling
stories about Jackson Hole, not
just Jackson,” Hughes surmised.
There was speculation after the
election that voters did not want
to bail out the museum for its
purchase of the North Cache
street building.
After that purchase, it became
clear that the space needed significant structural renovations.
Hughes acknowledged that the
organization used money to conduct those renovations that otherwise would have been spent to
create exhibits.
“We had inspections done on
the building when we purchased
it. The problems … were hidden
behind walls,” Hughes said.
Without the SPET funds, the
museum will need to raise $2 million for exhibits. Executive Director Lokey Lytjen said plan B is to
gather the necessary funds
through fundraising efforts that
would normally be used to finance its capital campaign.
Had voters approved the SPET
funds, Hughes said, the new museum location would have
opened sometime next summer,
with all the exhibits in place and
on display. But now, he said, “We
will have a building with a new
education center, a couple administration offices and an
empty exhibition hall.” JHW
Uncertain future
There are at least two parties seriously considering buying the Boardroom from Loebe. Grabowski
said that he, his brother and a friend are seriously interested in owning the shop. “I want to keep it in
the family,” he said. Unfortunately, Grabowski and his associates doubt they can round up the funds
necessary to purchase the business by the end of September.
Larui Aittola is another prospective buyer, one that Loebe has some confidence in. Aittola said that
he’s always liked the “rough around the edges feel of the [Boardroom], the old gas station look.” Aittola said his financial resources aren’t that extensive, but he hopes his “knowledge of the industry”
can help him finalize his purchase of the shop.
As for Loebe, he said the only person he can blame for the Boardroom’s demise is himself. “I’m a
victim of the times, but why didn’t I adapt?” he said, adding that he doesn’t know what he’ll do after
he leaves the Boardroom behind. “It’s pretty scary,” he said. JHW

DEREK DILUZIO
10 August 25 - 31, 2010
In plain English
The point of ecomodding is to make a vehicle as
aerodynamically sleek and efficient as possible, especially on the highway. As your Subaru wagon hurtles
down Highway 89 towards Alpine, your front-end
bumps the air in front of you up over the car to the
rear, where an eddy exerts a force opposite to your
direction. In other words, the car creates drag that
sucks it backwards and makes it less efficient. In fact,
approximately 60 percent of the power produced by
your car’s engine at highway speeds is used to overcome air drag, and that number only increases with
speed. Drag is a non-issue at speeds below about 55
miles per hour, but it is compounded the faster you
drive over that speed.
The amount of drag a vehicle creates is called its
drag coefficient, which the graph on Miller’s cheat
sheet uses to rank various vehicles. When the drag
coefficient is calculated against the vehicle’s frontal
area (measured in square feet), you get a number representing its drag area, which ecomodders attempt to
diminish with as much zeal as runners hacking off
milliseconds from their mile splits.
Miller explains this much to me as he points out all
the superficial modifications he’s made to his truck,
which he has nicknamed “Odd.” With every little modification comes a little boost in MPG. He has partially
covered the truck’s front grill (plus 1 to 2 MPG) and
obscured about a third of the wheel wells with clear
plastic sheeting and black Choroplast (plus 2 MPG),
the same material used for most political candidate’s
lawn signs. Using black Gorilla Tape, he has taped up
COURTESY CONOR MILLER
Moments after Conor Miller and I shake hands in
the driveway of his place in East Jackson, he whips
out his “cheat sheet,” and I feel like we’re breaking
the rules.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Miller’s strange
black vehicle – the reason for my visit – but he has
my focus turned to a rudimentary graph on the cheat
sheet that measures something called the “coefficient
of drag” versus “streamlining,” which is more or less
Greek to me.
An icon of your standard flatbed American truck
sits somewhere in the middle of that sloping line,
below a vintage sedan and above a modern one.
Miller has altered the truck’s shape with a blue pen to
make it look more like a door wedge on wheels than
the arrow-with-a-tip-clipped-off silhouette that most
flatbed trucks fit. When I glance up from the page for
the first time, I see that Miller’s truck nearly mirrors
the door-wedge-like truck on the cheat sheet.
As I’ll later learn, the modifications Miller has made
to his 2004 Ford Ranger and the door-wedge shape
he’s trying to sculpt it into are common practices
among ecomodders. Ecomodders are a subculture of
enviro-conscious, penny-pinching, borderline-OCD
gearheads who trick out their cars to eke ever more
miles per gallon out of them. The modifications they
make are often small but significant, and when those
mods are combined with “hypermiling” driving techniques, the resulting improvements in miles per gallon
can be astonishing.
Before reducing his truck’s aerodynamic drag and
driving with miles per gallon first on his mind, Miller’s
two-wheel drive Ford Ranger was estimated by the
EPA to get, at best, 27 miles per gallon on the highway. After the modifications, he has managed to
squeeze 46 highway miles out of a single gallon of
gasoline, breaking the unstated rules of how efficient
consumer vehicles can be.
any open seams on the front of the car (plus 1
MPG), such as around the headlights. A “partial
belly pan” (plus 2 MPG) made of Choroplast covers the front half of the truck’s undercarriage.
Anything that obstructs the steady, even flow
of air over any part of the vehicle has to be rectified to improve Odd’s aerodynamic efficiency
and increase MPG. That even means that Miller
folds the side-view mirrors in (plus 1 MPG) and
has mounted a dagger-like shard of mirror on
the truck’s dash in their place. Odd previously
had no hubcaps, just MPG-sucking craters at its
wheels’ centers. So Miller special ordered Bonneville Salt Flats moon style hubcaps that
boosted his MPG a couple miles before some
jerk made off with the driver’s side ones. In their
place, Miller intends to use pizza pans.
The most aerodynamically dirty part of any
vehicle is the rear end. As Miller pointed out on
his cheat sheet, the rear end accounts for a third
of the total effect of drag, and making it more
streamlined and thus aerodynamic is a big way
to boost MPG.
Odd’s most obvious and eccentric modification is the clear plastic casing that slopes over
the truck’s bed. Called an aerocap, the casing is
made from polycarbonate, the same plastic
used to make bullet-proof glass and Nalgene
bottles, and it’s structured with steel girders
and wooden beams. Like the blue line on the
cheat sheet’s truck, the aerocap slopes back
from the top of the back of the cab at a 12-degree angle. Miller explained that 12 degrees is
the optimal slope to usher rushing air over the
vehicle and send it sliding off the back, thus
mitigating the air eddy in its slipstream and
minimizing drag. The result: an extra two to
three miles per gallon.
All the modifications Miller has made cost
him approximately $600 and represent low fruit
on the tree of MPG improvement. Added up,
they’ve boosted his MPG by almost 60 percent
(that is, before the hubcap thieves struck), all but
negating the deleterious effects of drag. By his
calculations, Miller figures he could go about
782 miles on a single tank of gas and that all
the mods he has made should pay for themselves after 40 tanks of gas, give or take a few.
There are dozens upon dozens of additional
modifications Miller could make to further improve his MPG, including technically complicated tinkerings under the hood. He has
already built the basic structure of a Kammback
or boat-tail that will extend the slope of the aerocap back another five feet to further diminish
Odd’s drag.
Miller has some additional modifications in
mind for Odd in the future, including an engine
kill-switch, removing the air conditioning unit,
installing a block heater and replacing his oil
with high-viscosity synthetic oil. His unscientific
guess is that the full bevy of mods could push
Odd’s MPG up into the mid-60s.
Tweak the driver
Miller studied English Literature at Colorado
College, and his tech/science savvy is on par
with your average liberal arts major. Most of
what he’s learned about automotive aerodynamics and ecomodding he either picked up in
a class about electric car conversion he took in
Seattle last spring, or it’s stuff he learned from
the website Ecomodder.com. None of what he’s
doing is that experimental – it’s all been tried
and tested by other ecomodders and the results
vary from vehicle to vehicle.
Ecomodding is only part of the MPG-improve-
ment equation. As ecomodders are fond of saying, the biggest change you can make to boost
MPG is to “adjust the nut behind the wheel.” In
other words, tweak the driver and his or her
driving style. If you’re at all interested in improving your MPG but don’t want to deck out your
Forester in corrugated plastic, hypermiling might
be your game.
One of the easiest hypermiling tips to improve
gas mileage, especially in a physical activity
wonderland like Jackson Hole, is to remove roof
and bike racks. Other common hypermiling
techniques are to accelerate slowly and consistently, avoid braking whenever possible and do
lots of coasting. Hypermilers have elevated
coasting to an art form, the automotive equivalent of a manual in skateboarding.
Hypermilers measure the fruits of their labor
either with a ScanGauge – a kind of MPG scoreboard – or with simple calculations of miles
driven divided by gallons of gas consumed.
Miller has kept a detailed fuel log ever since he
got into hypermiling, and he’s watched his MPG
edge up with every new modification.
“It’s all about energy efficiency,” he said.
“How far can you go on the least amount of energy and dirt-bagging and making it as cheap
as possible.”
Miller also believes that his current obsession
with hypermiling isn’t that out of the ordinary
for Jackson Hole. “A lot of people out here are
obsessive compulsive,” he said. “Whether it’s
climbing or skiing. People just get obsessed
about shit out here.” Miller also thinks that
given the transitory nature of Jacksonites, many
of whom travel hundreds of miles a year on
roadtrips or to relocate to other parts of the
country, hypermiling just makes sense here and
more people should get into it.
From a certain angle, hypermiling and ecomodding can look like the obsessions of pennypinching misers. According to Miller, sure,
hypermiling is a stingy way to save money on
gasoline, but it’s also much more than that. For
them, it’s a practice in keeping with their environmental concerns about CO2 emissions and
global warming. It’s also a daily challenge and a
lifestyle as much as many outdoor pursuits. For
Miller, the excitement he gets from steadily increasing his MPG is on par with the rush of skiing a sick couloir.
Do you need a CDPE?
The Certified Distressed Property
Expert (CDPE) system is a proprietary
program designed to help
homeowners avoid foreclosure.
Realtors with the CDPE designation have
valuable training in short sales that can
offer homeowners much better
alternatives to foreclosure, which virtually
destroys a person’s credit rating. Short
sales allow the cash-strapped seller to
repay the mortgage at the price that
the home sells for, even though it is lower
than what is owed on the home.

Tailgaters will have to wait
Without question, Odd is one of the most singular vehicles around Jackson Hole and Miller
has gotten used to rubberneckers staring at his
truck. From his vantage point inside Odd, it’s
the guys driving big trucks that are most baffled
by the aerocap and other mods he’s made.
“The bigger the truck, the more they stare,”
Miller said.
He’s not the least bit self-conscious about
Odd’s strange appearance and neither is his girlfriend – though she does wish the truck weren’t
plastered with so much black tape.
“I think most people think it’s cool,” Miller said
before adding that only a few people have ever
asked him what all the streamlining modifications are about. As a friend of Miller’s pointed
out, Odd’s oddness is more or less spelled out
on a DIY bumper sticker tacked onto its rear.
On the left side of the bumper, written in
black Sharpie on yellow duct tape is this simple request to tailgating drivers: “Get off my
ass. I’m coasting!” And on the other side, waiting to be replaced with a “46,” is this explanation: “38 MPG.” JHW

Out with
the spectacle
My meeting with Thomas
Macker began with a computer,
a plasma ball and the sound of
lightning from space. The display is part of his upcoming exhibit, Western Heritage, which
focuses on expansion, consumption and New Age.
While I thought I was going to
be looking over a few of his photos, I was surprised to see that he
uses more than a camera to convey his ideas. The consumption
portion consists of an array of
seed signs that he took while riding through agrarian landscapes.
What is special about these signs
is that they advertise genetically
modified seeds, which sprout
controversy as much as produce.
“The signs are usually beautiful,”
he said, but the politics they represent are not.
After spending only a few minutes with Macker, I found that he
is not only talented, but also incredibly intelligent. Everything
he does artistically is done with
thought: unlike artists who count
Wednesday 8.25
on “beautiful mistakes,” each aspect of his work is created with
intention. For example, he
showed me a photo of the Tetons
with a digital road sign in front
that reads, “Dusk till Dawn.”
Initially, I didn’t take much
from this photo, but after Macker
explained that the sign was solar
powered, I saw the irony. Being a
solar-powered sign, it will not
work from dusk till dawn.
Macker’s intent was to also show
the irony of the Tetons being behind that sign because those
mountains will always be there.
“I’m trying to remove the spectacle,” he said, referring to this
photo and another of post-action
Old Faithful where tourists are
turning and walking away.
Although Macker is leaving at
the end of summer to return to
Cal Arts in California to get his
MFA in photography and media,
he, like the rest of us, loves Jackson Hole and his work shows the
area in a different light than
many photographers. He takes

in their familiarity, but wants it to
be known that he isn’t trying to

“I don’t believe in intolerance,” he said, while clicking
through a slide show of photos
taken in the valley. “I’m just trying to show the multifaceted, the
different representations.”

Herbie Hancock, 12-time Grammy-Award winner, offers a medley of classics.
Jazz legend sells out Center Theater
By Aaron Davis
Mr. Herbert Jeffrey “Herbie”
Hancock has long been one of
my favorite jazz cats because of
his melodic, crossover-genre accessibility. Hancock, 70, will hit
the Center Theater on Thursday
in support of his latest release,
The Imagine Project.
“Music transcends the barriers
between people,” Hancock said
in a video trailer for the new release. “I call it The Imagine Project because it’s about peace
through local collaboration and
mutual respect for other cultures.”
The Imagine Project features
collaborations with more than a
dozen superstars from all over
the world. Guests include Dave
Matthews, Anoushka Shankar,
Jeff Beck, The Chieftains, John
Legend, India Arie, Seal, Pink and
Chaka Khan. It utilizes the universal language of music to ex-
press its central themes of peace
and global responsibility. One
highlight on the eclectic disc includes Joe Cocker’s “Space Captain,” featuring Tedeschi and
Trucks. Other tunes include
“Imagine,” Dylan’s “The Times,
Hancock was one of the
first jazz musicians to
embrace synthesizers,
as well as funk
and soul music.
They are a Changin’,” and The
Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never
Knows.”
You can expect a solid mix of
old and new from the 12-time
Grammy-Award winner. On this
tour, he’s been offering a medley
of his classics "Cantaloupe Island," "Watermelon Man,"
"Chameleon" and "Maiden Voy-
age," while on certain numbers
also highlighting his band: second keyboardist Greg
Phillinganes, guitarist Lionel
Loueke, bassist Pino Palladino,
drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and
Kristin Train on vocals.
Few artists in the industry have
had such a tremendous influence
on both acoustic and electronic
music as Hancock. He was a
member of Miles Davis’s “second
great quintet,” helping to pioneer
the “post-bop” sound in the mid60s. During his five years with
Davis, he contributed to groundbreaking albums In a Silent Way
and Bitches Brew, the latter of
which heralded the birth of jazzfusion.
It seems like everything is
crossover these days, but Hancock was one the first jazz musicians to embrace synthesizers, as
well as funk and soul music. After
leaving the Miles Davis Quintet,
Hancock formed The Head-
hunters in ’73 and by middecade, he was playing for stadium-sized crowds all over the
world and had no fewer than 11
albums in the pop charts during
the 1970s. He has officially released more than 50 albums
since 1962’s Takin’ Off.
In the fifth decade of his professional life, Hancock remains
at the forefront of progressive
entities. Among his other endeavors, he is the creative chair
for jazz for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, serves as
institute chairman of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz and
is also a founder of the International Committee of Artists for
Peace (ICAP). JHW
Jackson Hole Center for the
Arts presents Herbie Hancock at
8 p.m., Thursday, in the Center
Theater. This show is sold out. To

Your Future Our Clutter
Mwaliko
All Is Falling
THE FALL
LIONEL LOUEKE
JAMES BLACKSHAW
★★★★★
★★★★★
★★★★★
Many albums are said to stick in one’s
head. In the case of The Fall’s latest, Your
Future Our Clutter, however, it’s a review
that keeps ringing in my memory. Earlier
this year, in a mostly flattering critique of
the album, The New York Times describes
Mark E. Smith’s “lyrics” as the hissings of
an old drunk, slumped on the bar. “Yes,
you think, ‘ex-pats,’ what a nuisance. Go
on, sir, get yourself home now,” wrote
critic Ben Ratliff. On the chant that earned
the album’s title, Ratliff wrote, “You want
to hear this as a political statement. But it
doesn’t really track.” This review sticks because until the point that Ratliff apologizes for Smith (“The tag line … it
energizes Mr. Smith”), it articulates my
feelings about Your Future Our Clutter. On
the other hand, I empathize with Ratliff’s
reverence for the band, which he uses to
place the album within the context of The
Fall’s 30 years of music-making. Being
new to it, however, I’m wondering when
Smith will pass out, so we can dump him
in a taxi. – Matthew Irwin
Lionel Loueke – the Benin-born guitarist
whom Herbie Hancock championed a few
years back and who has since enjoyed an international career – brings a magically light,
nearly elfin touch to his instrument. But
there’s also jaw-dropping density and ferocious technique that probably needs to be
witnessed with eyes as well as ears to be
truly appreciated. Mwaliko, Loueke’s second
album for Blue Note, leaps to life with “Ami
O,” with Angelique Kidjo lending the full
range of her vocal talents, and Loueke wasting no time to show what the percussive
pops and clicks he produced with his mouth
can add, for one of the most thrilling opening tracks I’ve heard in years. Other tracks
bring Jaco Pastorius or even Joni Mitchell to
mind. On two tracks, he pairs up with bassist
Esperanza Spaulding for fantastically entertaining music-making. Solo tracks are as
ethereal as nightfall on the Serengeti. It’s the
mix of the familiar and the exotic, the predictable and the unexpected, that makes for
great art – like this album.
– Richard Anderson
On his first few albums, London-based
guitarist James Blackshaw made a name
for himself as the Gen-Y Leo Kottke. His
chops on the 12-string guitar on Litany of
Echoes and The Cloud of Unknowing were
as impressive as the arrangements were
long and sprawling. Blackshaw opens his
new release, All Is Falling, at the piano
with a short track inspired by Philip Glass.
Though the track works, Blackshaw is at
his best on the axe, and the album improves when he picks up his electric 12string. Over the next four tracks,
Blackshaw guides the listener on a nearly
14-minute long epic that recalls more
Glass as well as Italian classical guitarist
Carlo Domeniconi’s Koyunbaba. All Is
Falling sounds like a concept album, as
the tracks flow into one another and the
brooding, burnished sounds evolve towards what sounds like the sunset evoked
on the album’s cover. Blackshaw’s latest is
the ideal soundtrack for the moody, cloud
enshrouded months ahead.

Dewdrops return to Wilson
Two acoustic guitars with a female
lead vocal and male harmony remind
folk lovers of the Gillian Welch-David
Rawlings blend. The Honey Dewdrops are among them, bringing a
rootsy, haunting sound that plays on
the simplistic. Even its new sophomore album, These Old Roots, was
recorded in the band’s own studio,
free of overdubs and tracking. The
husband and wife duo won A Prairie
Home Companion’s “People in their
Twenties Talent Show” in 2008 and
have been touring the country consistently ever since. The band’s last Jackson show was a sellout, so advance
tickets are recommended.
The Honey Dewdrops will perform at

Home away
from sloop
By Johnny Ocean
Due to Wyoming’s low taxes, I
have decided to purchase a home
in Jackson Hole. Choosing a
proper realtor is of the utmost importance, and I have decided to
trust the worldwide reputation of
Sotheby’s. The Ocean and Sotheby
clans have always shared cordial
relations. My great-grandfather, Sir
Clifton Ocean, served alongside
Colonel Oswald Sotheby at the
battle of the Somme and saved his
life by singlehandedly repealing a
German infantry charge with a
Vickers machine gun.
I valet parked my Aston Martin at
the Four Seasons and sought out
the office of Jill Sassi-Neison, a
member of the Sotheby’s team of
elite real-estate professionals. SassiNeison is an extremely affable and
attractive woman who will, I hope,
find a home that meets my exacting
architectural specifications.
Jill Sassi-Neison: Welcome Mr.
Ocean. I look forward to helping
you find your dream home.
Johnny Ocean: I certainly hope
so. Finding the right home is like
searching through coal for an unpolished diamond.
JSN: What type of a domicile are
you seeking?
JO: Well a condo or an apartment
is completely out of the question. I
cannot bear to hob-knob with the
Jill Sassi-Neison shows Johnny Ocean a dry-land dwelling.
hoi polloi and riff raff. I desire a
home that celebrates the art of
modern architecture to its fullest.
No Lincoln Logs or cowboy crap.
Large windows, marble counter
tops, a spacious garage with room
for my sloop and collection of touring automobiles. Also, I require a
Jacuzzi that seats at least 20, stainless steel appliances and large wall
spaces for my paintings.
JSN: I know just the house. Do
you have time to go look at it now?
JO: Yes, but I must confess I am
famished, could we stop for a bite?
JSN: You’re in luck, I have a stock
of the finest Italian cheeses handcrafted by my family in the old
country where my people are from.
JO: This Asiago is quite exquisite
– rich in character, it finishes clean,
yet lingers on the palate. What other
treasures hide in your cupboard?
JSN: Well I also have this Locatelli
and a fine grading Pecorino.
JO: Smashing! If only we had
some ripe tomatoes. I am not impressed with the quality of local
produce. Wyomatos - why bother?
JSN: I regret I cannot offer you
Jersey Tomatos, which most Italian
Americans will agree are the finest
outside of Italy. ...Well, here, we are
Mr. Ocean – the long lost Frank
Lloyd Wright Summer Cottage.
Priced to sell at $9.3 million.
JO: I am spellbound, look at
those modern lines, seamless integration with the environment, its
like Fallingwater except with green
paint. I’ll take it. JHW
Johnny Ocean is the brainchild
of Aaron Wallis.

By E. Tyler Alford
If you were wondering about that
constant ta-tat-tat-boom drum roll
and the bree-wee-ne-ne-nee squeal
floating across the valley Friday and
Saturday, it was a call to arms:
Come down from the highlands
and battle the tyranny of Longshanks and his British army!
Actually, it was the 10th annual
Scottish Festival, a summer highlight for ‘Skinny Malinky Longlegs’
(yours truly) for the past three years.
I called my good friend Saturday
morning to remind him of the
games, and we rode our bicycles
over to the fairgrounds to catch
some of the rich heritage, sights
and sounds of the festival.
While the Town Square buzzed
with tourists and local bands, and
while Miller Park clogged itself with
art-seekers, a small faction of bagpipers, drum liners and Highland
games enthusiasts gathered to
compete, celebrate, eat and drink.
We arrived just in time to see all
of the competing clans gathering
together to march across the vast
field playing in a massive and raucous celebration of the games, in
general. Well more than 150 bagpipers and drum players played
under the direction of a lead drum
major to officially declare the Highland games open.
Once the unit broke, the log-tossing games and kilt-weaving resumed as my friend and I found our
way to the food tent. Snake River
Brewing was serving Scottish brown
ale and Scottish stout, and a catering group from Salt Lake City was
serving traditional Scottish fare.
At first, we were disappointed to
see that the meat-pie tent was not
back, but were thrilled when we
learned the group was serving Scottish eggs, fish and chips and of
course, haggis. If you haven’t ever
heard of haggis, it is traditionally
sheep’s pluck (google it) that is simmered in the animal’s stomach for
at least three hours. It requires a
great deal of stock, spices, vegetables and salt to achieve a flavor that
is tolerable to the average palate.
I’d had haggis before, during
what was arguably a bad experience, but I decided that in order to
honor the genuine nature of these
Highland games I would have to try
the dish again. I also picked up a
palate-cleansing pour of Balvenie
12-year Doublewood scotch. The
haggis was what I remembered:
chopped and stewed and served
over mashed potatoes. The fullmouth flavors of sheep innards left
an iron aftertaste in my mouth. I
finished the plate, chasing each bite
with a sip of scotch, promising to
reward myself with one of the two
enormous scotch eggs I had also ordered. The eggs, cooked perfectly
golden brown and delicious were
‘pure dead brilliant.’ The large
hard-boiled egg was still moist and
flavorful at the center, and the
sausage and batter that was fried
around the exterior was flavorful
and rich. My friend and I agreed
that these were the best Scotch eggs
that either of us had ever had. We
sat there quoting Braveheart and
chatting with a mother and son
who had come from Salt Lake City
to compete in the bagpiping competitions. We picked the young
teenager’s brain about reeds,
breathing and whether or not the
pipes were a ‘babe-magnet.’
Full and satisfied, we left the tent
and the games feeling renewed in
our Scottish heritage and appreciation of the old-world culture. Next
year, when you hear the sounds of
the pipes and drums, let it draw you
in and feed you: the Wyoming Highlanders Scottish Festival is calling.

21
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Why
should you work harder than everyone
else? Why is it up to you to pick up the
slack when others are suffering from
outbreaks of laziness and incompetence? And why should you be the fearless leader who is focused on fixing the
glitches and smoothing over the rough
patches when no one else seems to
care whether things fall apart? I’ll tell
you why, Aries: because it’s the Karmic
Correction phase of your long-term
cycle — a time when you can atone for
past mistakes, pay off old debts, and
make up for less-than-conscientious
moves you got away with once upon a
time.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “What is
the source of our first suffering?” wrote
philosopher Gaston Bachelard. “It lies
in the fact that we hesitated to speak. It
was born in the moment when we accumulated silent things within us.”
Luckily for you, Taurus, the cosmic
rhythms are aligned in such a way as to
free you from at least some of that old
suffering in the coming weeks. I expect
that you will have more power than
usual to say what you’ve never been
able to say and express a part of you
that has been buried too long.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): More than
2,000 people have climbed to the top
of Mt. Everest, and 12 men have
walked on the moon. But only two humans have ever ventured to the lowest
spot on our planet. In 1960, Jacques
Piccard and Donald Walsh rode in a bathyscaphe all the way down to the
Mariana Trench, which is almost seven
miles beneath the surface of the Pacific
Ocean. Your assignment in the coming
weeks, Gemini, is to move in their direction, metaphorically speaking. In my
astrological opinion, ascending and
soaring shouldn’t be on your agenda.
It’s time to dive into the mysterious
depths.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): I propose
that we do to Mercury what astronomers did to Pluto in 2006: demote
it. After all, it’s smaller than both Saturn’s moon Titan and Jupiter’s moon
Ganymede. Who wants to bestow the
majestic title of “planet” on such a piddling peewee? In fact, let’s make the
ROB BREZSNEY’S
FREEWILL ASTROLOGY
WEEK OF AUGUST 25, 2010
change now, just in time for Mercury’s
retrograde phase, which began recently. That way we won’t have to get
all riled up about the supposedly disruptive effects this aspect portends.
How could a barren runt like Mercury
stir up any kind of meaningful ruckus? I
hereby declare you free and clear of the
whole Mercury retrograde superstition.
Please proceed on the assumption that
the period between now and September 12 will be an excellent time to
deepen and refine your communication
with anyone you care about.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A Chinese company reached out to me by email today.
“Dear Sir,” the message began, “As the
leading professional conveyor belt
manufacturers in Shanghai, we present
to you our very best sincere regards,
desiring to find out if there is a chance
for us to be your top-rate conveyor belt
supplier.” I wrote back, thanking them
for their friendly inquiry. I said that personally I didn’t have any need of conveyor belts right now, but I told them I
would check with my Leo readers to
see if they might. According to my
reading of the astrological omens, you
see, you’re entering a time when it
makes sense to expand and refine your
approach to work. It’ll be a good time,
for example, to get more efficient and
step up production. So how about it?
Do you need any conveyor belts?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Our sun
doesn’t really have a name. The word
“sun” is a generic term that can refer to
any of trillions of stars. So I’d like to
propose that you come up with a name
for it. It could be a nickname or a title,
like “Big Singer” or “Aurora Rex” or
“Joy Shouter” or “Renaldo.” I hope this
exercise will get you in the mood to
find names for a whole host of other
under-identified things in your life, like
the mysterious feelings that are
swirling around inside you right now,
and your longings for experiences that
don’t exist yet, and your dreams about
the elusive blessings you want so bad.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The odometer will turn over soon, metaphorically
speaking. The big supply of the stuff
you stocked up on a while back is
about to run out. The lessons you
began studying a year ago have been
completed, at least for now, and you’re
not yet ready for the next round of
teachings. These are just some of the
indicators that suggest you should set
aside time for reflection and evaluation.
The world may come pounding at your
door, demanding that you make a dramatic declaration or take decisive action, but in my opinion you should stall.
You need to steep in this pregnant
pause.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Most
discussions on TV news shows involve
so-called experts shouting simplistic
opinions at each other. They may provide some meager entertainment value,
but are rarely enlightening. In contrast
to these paltry spectacles were the salons at Paris’s Cafe Guerbois in 1869. A
group of hard-working artists and writers gathered there to inspire each other.
The painter Claude Monet wrote that
their discussions “sharpened one’s
wits, encouraged frank and impartial
inquiry, and provided enthusiasm that
kept us going for weeks . . . One always came away feeling more involved, more determined, and thinking
more clearly and distinctly.” That’s the
kind of dynamic interaction you should
seek out in abundance, Scorpio.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In
the movies I’ve seen that depict battle
scenes from hundreds of years ago,
every army has numerous soldiers
whose job it is to carry festive flags and
pennants. If this is an accurate depiction of history, what does it mean? That
powerful symbols were crucial to inspiring the troops’ heroic efforts? That
touches of color and beauty lifted their
morale? That they were more inclined
to do their best if inspired to imagine
they were participating in an epic
story? Whether or not my theories
apply to what actually happened back
then, they apply to you now. As you go
forth to fight for what you believe in,
bring your equivalent of an evocative
emblem.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Using a radio telescope, astronomers at
Germany’s Max Planck Institute for
Radio Astronomy have been scanning
the center of the galaxy. They’re looking for evidence of amino acids that
could be the building blocks of life. So
far their hunt has been inconclusive. In
my opinion, though, they’ve stumbled
upon an even more appealing discovery: The huge dust cloud at the heart of
the Milky Way, they say, tastes like
raspberries and smells like rum. That’s
the kind of switcheroo I predict for you
in the upcoming weeks, Capricorn. You
may not locate the smoking gun you’re
hoping to find, but in the process of
searching I bet you’ll hook up with
something even better.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Each
one of us is a blend of life and death. In
the most literal sense, our bodies always contain old cells that are dying
and new cells that are emerging as replacements. From a more metaphorical
perspective, our familiar ways of seeing
and thinking and feeling are constantly
atrophying, even as fresh modes
emerge. Both losing and winning are
woven into every day; sinking down
and rising up; shrinking and expanding.
In any given phase of our lives, one or
the other polarity is usually more pronounced. But for you in the foreseeable
future, Aquarius, they will be evenly
balanced. Welcome to the Season of
Rot and Regeneration.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Allure
magazine sought out Luca Turin and
Tania Sanchez, the women who wrote
the book Perfumes: The A to Z Guide.
“What are the sexiest-smelling perfumes of all time?” they asked. Turin
and Sanchez said Chinatown was at the
top of their list. Their explanation: “If
wearing Opium is like walking around
with a bullhorn shouting, ‘Come and
get it!’, Chinatown is like discreetly
whispering the same thing.” The Chinatown approach is what I recommend
for you in the coming weeks, Pisces.
