2 very critical things you needed to leave out to maintain a positive image on the Campfire:

That statement and the pictures of you and a big brimmed straw hat. Until then, many would have considered you still a menacing force of knowledge, much like Bricktop before he posted a picture of himself and that bear...


Chit happens.

I’m Irish. Thirty years outside in the sticks in South Texas has learned me not to screw around when it comes to hats. You ever cross 500 miles of West Texas on a bicycle right after the solstice?

That hat did get me a lot of recognition; pretty much everywhere I went people told me they had seen me on the road several miles and a day or two earlier, including a lady at the diner in Havre that morning who had seen me leaving Great Falls. Some bikers in Yellowstone were waving too, same reason.

I had heard of the movie, never seen it. somewhere there’s a connection to that classic Paul Rogers anthem from the ‘70’s; “Bad Company”, a favorite tune from my youth

Anyways, with respect to those two Indian girls, inviting me to take their photo like they did was a bit over the top, even for me. I’m thinking they had maybe passed me a bit earlier taking a photo of them and the rest of their team on that billboard, picked up little brother at work, and then seen me again out front of the casino.
