Bigfoot Bob
One of our regular customers at Nutglade was a retired merchant marine named Bob. He complimented us on our coffee, but I think that he was not too particular: he added a few shakes of salt into each cup. We called him "Bigfoot Bob" because of the stories he would tell about the Bigfoot he had seen in the woods of Siskiyou County. In the greatest detail he would describe how they did all the chores at a friend's ranch and telepathically project movies in the forest canopy. "I was watching this movie, and it looked familar, and then I realized that the little boy in the movie was me. I knew it was me because there was a cast on the arm I had broken earlier that summer." Roomie was kind of freaked out by Bigfoot Bob. He did have a randy side, like when he told stories of women with breasts the shape of coke bottles and the secret of Wonder Bread's success. But I think she objected most of all to his detachment from reality, and the fact that he was so interested in sharing his world.
Recently, a friend sent us the Bigfoot Bob archives which I had given him some time ago.
Book 1: Our Giants.
Book 2: Our Giant's [sic] Domain.
Book 3: Our Giant's Children.

wow! thrilled to see they finally made it to someone with the capability to scan and convert them to PDF. Preserved for the ages(or so)
Glad they are not at my house any more and that Gilmas got them to you intact. I will pass the word on to Harry Blackwell when I see him.

there is something good to be said for stirring up the universe in non violent ways.

I remember the time when BB came in with his friend Jack.
Jack said, "I don't make up story the way HE does."
