  2. Eric,

    I don’t know if you noticed this but there’s really peculiar optical artifact in the picture right in front of your friend. It’s got kind of an golden/auburn color to it. It might just be a ray of the sun hitting the lens of the camera. But it’s funny because it almost looks like your friend is conjuring it into existence. I only noticed because the particular shape and color were unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Cheers!

  3. He is one trippy bro and he is my best friend. We go back through different ice ages and geological epochs and we hung out at the time of the Revolution. In this lifetime, he’s the most gifted lawyer I’ve ever met. He can take apart any situation and hand it to you in simple, clear, winnable form by finding the obvious fact nobody saw, or the fatal flaw in the opponent’s argument. He thinks he’s not that good at chess. He has read hundreds of pages of PCB documents and depositions with me and helped me crack the GE/Monsanto case. He was there video taping when I pulled the first samples out of Gage Hall. A quad or pent Capricorn (Sun/Moon/Venus/Mercury+possibly rising), he can work with antique, handwritten metes-and-bounds deeds (“fifty links of chain south-by-southeast from the pile of rocks to the oak tree on the high ridge”) or adjoinder deeds (“Hoffington to the northwest, Cabraul to the west, Murray to the south,” everyone dead 100 years earlier) like nobody else in our weird little redneck county. He has recovered significant acreage of the grandmother land, debunking fraudulent surveys: land stolen by “preservation” “trusts.” He can fix any problem in any car, engine work, transmission, electrical, whatever, usually for about $20. He materializes like Gandalf. He may be the funniest person I’ve ever met but then he thinks everything contains some glint of the cosmic joke, as he calls it. His dog is named Houdini. Once we got drunk in New Paltz and were laying down in the middle of Main Street at 4 am looking at the sky laughing hysterically. I knew we were safe. He’s one of the few people I know who remembers the breathtaking mystery of the Patric Walker daily horoscope. He has bought me dinner 100 times, paid my rent, given me cars and bailed me out of jail. He once placed several troopers in a New York State Police barracks under citizen’s arrest for official misconduct. Appearing for this feat before a judge with the Constitution hanging on the wall of his courtroom, the judge told him boldly to “forget the Constitution!” To this day I don’t know how I managed not to burst into gales of laughter; I was sitting in the front row.

  4. ..B.B., that’s because the dude was probably at a Dead show givin’ out hugs, for free!

    I swear to buddha, if this dude was anywhere in california during the ’90’s Dead, I saw him. But, freakin’ trippy heads all look the same.. (in photo; you have to feel the vibe.)

    ..Other than glasses, and some odd years.. I relate… (tried the dreads, bugged the shit out of me, cut ’em down.)

    ..That’s one trippy intense bro you got there, Eric.. Enjoy..

    Smiles

  5. He looks like he could have materialized right out of the mountain stones. You’ve captured the energy of very early spring; I can almost hear the snow crystals slowly changing from solid to liquid, trickling down the slope, and smell the pine essence being released by the returning warmth as we start to tilt toward the sun.
