Comments:

7-26-'21: Got a "no reply" reminder to update my info, so: "I ain't dead yet, and stand by my "life's a crapshoot", & wuz wunderin who'd be next to croak, hopefully not me ... yet." // Still got a lot of mountain biking, kayaking, and sex to inflict upon others until "they" put on the other side of the dirt. // Jesus-H-Keeriste Onna Kross, but I STILL find it amazing (& amusing again) that some of us STILL hold on to the myth of an afterlife. // Oh well, I don't understand Q-Anon either and both beliefs are whacky as hell. // As I bespoke, I'll continue ridin' my mountain bike till they find me on one o' the beautiful forest trails I love so much with birds peckin' out me 'ol eyeballs; and if anyone thinks life actually is sacred they ain't watched the nature channel in a while. // On a more serious note, my Kalifornikrazy Snowflake side really does hope u'all be as effin' healthy and happy as Yores-Trooley.

7-31-2020: And I believe even MORE what I wrote in 7-31-'20: It's pan-damn-demic time but me-'n-mine are flourishing ... unlike the religionist-types who group together without masks thinkin' some kind of imaginary bein' will save their butts. I'll trust science, social distancing, masks, and now VAXINATIONS over some weird imaginary "god", or "gods", whose differences no one can agree upon anywaze. // It's also over 41 years since I had a drink, though I'm a very thankful us'n on the left have made Cannabis *legal* now that the dopey conservative-right has been overthrown. Uh, actually I've always been a user, just never got caught once I stopped drinkin'. // Bye-the-bye, I'd like reparations for the time I spent in jail for using the herb while others frowned upon it ... at the same time downing boatloads of rotgut, brain-killin', liver-destroyin' alcohol. <-- Just sayin'.

------------------------ Old Stuff Below ---------------------------------------------

I've mostly been an alcoholic and a drug addict. Spent time in prisons, rehabs (before they became fashionable), detox centers, and nut houses. Robbed liquor stores for awhile before being fired by my gang for parallel parking while stoned during one of our robberies. (Hard to escape fast when you're parallel parked in case you ain't figured that one out.)

Lived on the streets for about 10 years during the 70's (see You-Tube interviews), but from what I've heard I didn't miss much. Got sober around '78 and decided to make a lot of money and live a life of leisure which I've done and am doing.

Turned into a full-blooded Atheist (or Secular Humanist to be more p.c.) when I found out that our church leaders were lyin' about sex not bein' some kind of "sin" and not any fun. Fact is they lied about almost everything.

When I came back off the streets I ... well, the rest is just so much b.s., except for Rebecca. She puts the light in my corneas, keeps me mostly civil, and teaches me all about love.

Hope you all had as much fun during your *Earthwalk*; enjoyed the craziness of it all; and generally lived as empty, selfish, narcissistic, unrepentant, and meaningless an existence as I have. Damn, but it's been excitin' so far!

School Story:

Got caught smoking in the confessionals in the chapel. No punishment because Hurly made a deal with me -- if I kept my mouth shut he'd "overlook" this one *small* infraction since I was a basketball superstar making money for the school. Later came to find out his whole purpose for bein' at Marin Catholic was to get it out of the red. No wonder the 'ol catholic church is havin' so much trouble ... it's become its own antichrist.

81? Jesus-Harold (His middle name) - Christ onna cross, how old can we get? Anyway, keep irritating the young'uns and your neighbors like I do and, if we don't live much longer, at least we'll have made our Earthwalks memorable and enjoyable. Well, off for a mountain bike ride so, in all sincerity (Ha!), have a halfway decent "Continuation Day". // Oh yeah, if you see Ragghianti or Crowe don't faint at how old they look.

Tim fell on me once.  I never recovered and was so brain-damaged I ended up as an alcoholic/dope-fiend/atheist/ex-convict & sex-addict.  No blame though, it weren't his fault ... I was so (comparatively) small he tripped over me ... was so small, in fact, that most folks @ Marin Katholic didn't even know I was around most of the time ... if at all. // With all that aside, I don't like to see any of us bite the dirt.  Tim was a helluva guy and I remember enjoyin' goin' to his place after our 50th re-onion. // Mayb Antone and Dave will set up another (75 year?) re-onion if any of us are still hangin' in there. // Meanwhile I'll honor 'Ol Tim out in nature on one 'o my mountain bike rides. // Hope the rest 'o you scoundrels & scoundrelettes are doin okay and coping with our own pending demises. devil - 'Ol Ed (Up in the Sierras & still able to walk without a cane or have his diapers changed by others. surprise

Still kickin' around? Me too, but no one loves me anymore. I think it's because I'm related to by brother Ron who was, and still is, one of the most horrible humanbeans I've ever known, but who my parents always loved more than me ... sigh. // I just bought a RoofNest car-top tent for my old RAV4 so if I come down for maybe a last mountain bike visit on 'ol Mt. Tam, can I camp outside your house and use your bathroom in the morning? // I'm old but don't smell bad ... yet. // Meanwhile, Happy Continuation Day, & hope you live a bit longer. - 'Ol Ed (Up in Auburn)

I remember you wuz the only guy could down a can of beer without swallowing.

I didn't! ?? - 'Ol Ed (up in Auburn (the one in Kalifornikrazy.) // Would have sent this "some of us are still alive pat on the ass" sooner but was mountain bike camping up in the Tahoe forest ... somewhere my parole officer couldn't find me. ?????

I remember Michael as a goofy son-of-a-gun as well as smarter than most, which really showed up at USF. // I couldn't help likin' the guy, even though he be way too smart for me to hang with, but I couldn't avoid his "presence", especially because he had one of the better sense o' humors I came across. //  Seems he led a helluva good life so I won't cry croc tears, but from my view he bit-the-dust too soon. //  These reports are beginning to seem like a crap-shoot.  Who's next?  Maybe next you'll be readin' about how wunnerful 'Ol "Mr." ?? Ed was?  //  Nice thing about obits ... they leave out all the negative stuff, which will be really difficult when Yores-Trooley croaks. // Woops, got a little introspective, so I think I'll go for a mountain-bike ride and honor the dude out where nature reminds me -- in no uncertain terms -- just how un-sacred life really can be.

Hello, Diane -- You may not remember me but I remember I took you out once in highschool and before we could leave the house your father stood me up against the wall and frisked me. He said it was practice for what the police would do to me a lot later in life. I never thanked him for that practice frisking, and knew exactly what to do the many times I was arrested later in my stellar career. // Oh, yeah, I hope you have a happy Continuation Day, and have STILL never forgiven Rich for stealing you away from me. I ever get down to Marin again, I'll stop by and irritate you like I used to. -- "Ol Auburn Ed.

Jeezus! What is it now? 77? We're beatin' the odds. 'Course you're the only one left besides me who still looks halfway alive. Happy "Continuation Day". // Hope you're mom finally forgave you for all the pain you cause her at childbirth. Mine never did and Elsie and Jack always loved Ronnie better'n me, which caused my alcoholism, narcotics addiction, some criminal activity and rickets. // Hope your earthwalk goes on for a bit longer. // Bye-the-bye, you bein an attorney-type, can I get reparations for the couple years I spent in jail for cannabis now that it's legal? Just wonderin'? -- 'Ol Ed of Auburn (the one in Kalifornikrazy).

Pic of my multicultural "outfit" taken a couple years ago before I decided to promote a G.M. (the dude just behind Rebecca w/ the kid) and quit workin' for a livin'... not that anyone'd ever accuse me of overworkin' anytime previous to my quittin'. Nice havin' a cash-cow spittin' out money while I chase around and otherwise waste my time and talents. I'm a firm believer in living off the labor of others and have a deep and abidin' affection for the capitalistic system. I think I'm like 'ol Crowe in that respect -- Jerry Crowe, not the whiskey, though the two do blend together. Rebecca, my last and best wife, is to my left and the dog, "DownBoy" is a fake.

Lake Lagunitas (Marin open space -- my backyard) on the way up to Mt. Tam in the background. 'Bout a 3-1/2 hr. roundtrip ride for an elder. Apr. 2010.

Vespa I bought about a year-and-a-half ago. Rather be on 2 wheels than 4. Also ride a '94 classic Honda 750cc Magna (pic below). Does anyone really give a crap about all this or is it totally narcissistic? And yeah, I pretty much laughed my way through life ... so far.

Along w/ my mountain bike and Vespa, this is the only way to travel. Learned to ride in Synanon, about 1975, when I was recovering from one of my alcohol and cocaine runs.

My best friend, Jim Sciaroni, and two visiting Swiss girls we met on Mt. Tam. I loaned 'em a couple of my bikes and we all road to the top. And you wonder why I love Mtn. Bikin' so much?!
