| This friendly fellow, Jim, was selling
tickets for the bus to and from the nearest towns to Burning Man (Gerlach
and Empire, NV). It turned out we knew some folks in common, Lloyd
and Arlene Stauning, who Twist and I ever so briefly bumped into
on the playa last year as they took our photo. The Stauning's gave us
a pen
with their email printed thereon, and when I emailed them they ended
up sending us a CD of their photos. When Jim mentioned he
was camped
next to a wooden posable replica of The Man, I recalled that was the
Stauning's landmark. What a small world, full of coincidences. Later,
Lloyd and Arlene
came by just as a rather severe dust storm began to blow, so the visit
was short-lived. Too bad, and we never got back over to their neck of
the woods. |
