This week’s guest, Tom Buckner, frequently left me speechless. At the end of recording, I was compelled to call the nonemergency, City of Casper Police Department because the details Tom chose to share seemed to suggest a safety risk. My gratitude to Craig Dorethy for getting me Tom’s contact information. No small feat there. And thanks to Al, over at the Loaf ‘N Jug, for putting in a good word. Tom is a private man, though once he got talking, the stories flowed.Tom Buckner's tales of bartering will be, for many listeners, their first exposure into a radically different way of life. ---Tom's significant other, Evelyn Winters, has some creative work online at Wigleaf.---If you'd like to purchase a copy of David Phillip Mullin's novel The Brightest Place in The World, go do it. Now. Don't think twice. You won't regret it.Also dive in to his first published work, Greetings from Below. It's a masterpiece of connected short stories featuring a dude named Nick. I think I thought I was Nick the first time I read GFB.---I bet your feet are tired of standing all day, cold on those hipster, hardwood floors you uncovered beneath the shag carpet, and refinished. Be like me. Wear Xero Shoes to make your feet strong and warm so cold feet won't stop you from being your best you.Sandals? Award-winning Boots? The same one's Jody wears?
