Well of course he is a fictional character in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. Some say he is the hero of the story. Sam Baxley is neither fictional nor a hero but he is a character in a story. In that story, Sam is merely a man who has visions that he tries to translate into words for others to experience. More times than not this task is met with utter failure. Many have called his musings the ramblings of a deranged mind. There might actually be some truth to that. However, he keeps trying and that is what this blog is about. So hang around and see what fantastical ideas might appear. You might be disgusted, intrigued, irritated, or entertained. This might happen all at the same time. So enjoy the ride.

Sam Baxley lives in the middle of New Mexico’s High Desert country. This is convenient as he enjoys hiking, camping and stargazing. Oh, and the balloons…

…and the chili…
