Tim McKernan

Hot for winter

Sad news from the world of sports: “Tim ‘Barrel Man’ McKernan, an avid Broncos fan who was known for wearing a barrel, cowboy hat, cowboy boots and not much else, died in his sleep this morning of lung failure. He was 69.” For ‘this morning’ read ‘last week,’ but it’s still kind of timely: Pretty soon, when we’re all living in barrels, Tim McKernan will be seen as a trailblazer.
