Thieves were probly at the meeting! Omm, I can't express the fuzzy emotions I just felt seeing your picture posts.....I pray for you and jo every day.........and those comics took me back to a happy place from long ago...I love the haight.....and sf is the only city that I am completely comfortable in! I will tell you a little story; I have three friends...more like family who decided that Hawaii would be a more suitable location because of current events in their lives. So they all got to Hawaii...the big island.....two of them went straight to work trying to find work, the other one built a cardboard shack in the bushes..well hidden. The two finally got work, one as a set construction worker for the movie water world, and the other one was framing. The one that lived in the bushes would swim and fish all day and eat and sell what he caught. The fisher man was a pretty wild dude, having lived most of his life in prison, the natives would ask him if he wanted to go night fishing, he always went with them and escaped their murderous plots three times, from them trying to bludgeon him to death with oars, to throwing him out of the boat 5 miles offshore with no life jacket. My other buddy who was a set carpenter finally came on the scene and was beating asses for two weeks to get em off homeboy who was his cousin. Finally some of the big boys on the Island got interested in this howly who was beatin 4 or 5 big dudes asses every day for two weeks and went to see what this was all about. Well, these dudes that came to check him out ended up liking him, and they owned cattle ranches, they had a shitload of land, and my bros troubles were over. He ended up havin a kid with some movie stars old lady and came back to the states shortly after 3 years there. The natives never could kill cuz.....he was way used to stuff like that in the joint and on the street. Haha, the third bro, who is a preacher came back too.........they all didn't live so happily everafter.....one of em is doin 37 years for defending himself in a gunfight.
