A bit of a late start on posting these updates. The Gallery's server was hacked and completely wiped at the end of July. A complete rebuild was only squared away after Cut began. All 14K images of Bonfires going back to 2010 are back. But first, on to 2023...

Detail on that last one for everybody on mobile.

Apropos of rain returning to the Brazos Valley, this week's Perimeter Fires is from a time there was infamously too much of it in 2013.

Live reviewing last weekend's Cut tonight at 9:30.

This week's Perimeter Fires is a conversation with River McTasney, Brown Pot '15. As son of former HMFIC Jim McTasney, River's got a long historical view of Bonfire. Today, he's shaping the future of agriculture with his autonomous drone cattle feeders (the tip of the iceberg).

Yesterday was Centerpole Unload, which also includes the "Windle Sticks". Today marks 20 years since Levi Garrett Windle - for whom they were named - passed away. Today's Perimeter Fires - recorded yesterday - is a conversation with Levi's mother Gayle, father Steve, and brother Brody. We spent more time laughing than anything else.
