The Return of John Kiltman

A colorful character in downtown Campbell, we’ve seen him previously on July 10. Notice he’s got a dandelion in his hat, mismatched shoes, and no tires on the rims of his bicycle. Here he’s regaling my friend with entertaining tales of his encounters with police.

BTW, the scratch visible on the inside of his left leg is one of many on his skin that looks to be getting infected. Hope his immune system is as strong as his personality.

Traveling

Bicycle Route to Santana Row

Ride we had planned to take last year.

My biking buddy and I were stretching the concept of aging. We were trusting our instincts to keep us out of cars’ way, and pushing forward in terms of distance, testing our survival chances one way & another.

Assume the Best; Prepare for Worst

Exploration

Apollo Space Capsule

Jojo was a man
who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn’t last.
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass.

Get back, get back,
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back, get back,
Get back to where you once belonged.
Get back, Jojo.
