lightning, when i first saw this, i commented but youtube wouldn't "take it"...
i admire the guy mostly cuz he never showed fear ...
my only question was, why are we just now hearing about it, why did
it take a year?

ya gotta understand, MY marin county was playing softball with
the grateful dead, nude sunbathing at alpine dam, doing mushrooms
in bolinas, eating prawns off the boats in bolinas, scattering my
brother's ashes on mt. tamalpais, being there at sunrise for the
harmonic convergence, the foghorns in tiburon, the rock n roll in mill valley,
the redwoods, jesse colin young, the flea market in marin city,
breakfast at fred's in sausalito, ferry rides across the bay, hitchhiking
up and down highway one ... it was such a cool reality then ... i got locked
out of the house in my senior year of high school and decided to
hitchhike into san francisco where i was sure my haight ashbury friends would
let me crash at their place .... problem was, the family chow dog followed me
from tiburon into sausalito but there i was stuck, cuz i could not show up
with my dog it was probably after midnight ... so i found a cop, told him my
story and he wound up taking my dog to the tiburon house and i was
standing with my thumb out at the northern end of the golden gate bridge....
