He must of been a descendant of the Scott's ... you know the ones that lived way up high in the Mountains....
in another life he likely would have been a Circuit Court Judge.......... he had a beautiful ability to reason and a sense of great fairness..............
He also held the ability to identify a Dirt Bag in 12 seconds flat.
He had sharp clear blue eyes............
He could break a man in two... he had a lot of Strength... but generally he was of an even temperament........
Few may have really taken the time to have gotten to know him, but the some.
I saw him for years before we met.. always riding a bicycle around as slow as possible... without falling over.
You know that guy? In the muscle shirt and shorts .... Is he homeless is he a Bum?.........
He was married early in life and had a son... one day his wife went off to work the mother of his only child.. it was raining later in the day she stepped out into the slick parking lot in front of her job standing in a circle of fellow employees and the Oldsmobile 442 driven by Sarah the Levi Strauss Heiress roared through the crowd and they all scattered... she had mistaken the gas for the brake.... second time around she ran over Dear Mikes Wife.... his young wife Died right there.......... I can only imagine the rest of the story for he never told it to me, Pain, Anguish......... since passed as he........
Oh by the way your lovely wife died today...... you know the mother of your 3 year old son.
Personally I have come to the opinion that at that point in time... Barefoot resigned himself to a future life of non concern......... for the most part....
A real mind Buster.......... I really don't really even recall the first time we met... but we became great pals...
almost everything was a joke.... laugh laugh laugh........... his keen ability to observe and point out.... and mine to appreciate........ and roar with laughter......
I woke up this morning thinking of a 'Barefootism' a.k.a. Michael Wade Smith. " You don't own stuff it owns you"
