ALI & MALTA! 1973

I only went to the lay-ups a half dozen times, but luckily Jack Stewart took this picture of one of my few pieces. To be on the same car as “ALI” was quite an honor. At the far left might be the outline of the “Pink Panther” but I’m not sure. It also is evident that I went over a Junior-161 tag and he was an important writer. Pieces did take priority over tags of course…

“New Mexico” 1992

A few weeks ago during one of the winter’s many snowfalls, I left my boots outside in front of my door and someone complained. My boots bothered this person so much that an official complaint was issued to the management of my building. A rich person with absolutely no life, had nothing better to do than be annoyed by a pair of Timberland’s fouling up her view on the way to her apartment. How do I know it was a woman? I don’t, but I have a feeling that’s all. It’s enough to make one wonder if living life, out on the mesa with nobody else around, wouldn’t be a bad idea…

Do they have a Starbucks nearby?
