Only his mother....
Only his mother would recognize him, but Adventure Boy's photo was in the local newspaper this week. (His "local," not mine.)
Two photos alternate on the web site. AB is the fire fighter in the yellow helmet.

Of course I recognize him! He looks just like you! When you're wearing a big beige coat and a yellow helmet, that is.silvercamaro wrote:Only his mother would recognize him, but Adventure Boy's photo was in the local newspaper this week. (His "local," not mine.)

Seriously, I think that's way groovy that he's a firefighter now, since I remember back when you weren't sure that he was going to land on anything and then that avenue was chosen as a goal. (If I'm remembering correctly, I could have been stoned at the time).

I'm darned good and ready.

That story was a gripping bit of journalism.

Re: Only his mother....
Exactly! I tried on his big beige coat and yellow helment -- along with the big beige pants and big brown boots and heavy equipment belt and heavier breathing equipment -- for about two minutes, when I was standing still and feeling myself grow shorter.Here's Fanny! wrote:

You are remembering exactly correctly. There was a time when I despaired. In retropect, however, I now believe that most the things he did while he was meandering through life have turned out to make him a more interesting person. Mind you, I say that with a sense of great relief, and I got some magnificent Christmas tree ornaments out of the glass-blowing days.Seriously, I think that's way groovy that he's a firefighter now, since I remember back when you weren't sure that he was going to land on anything and then that avenue was chosen as a goal.

Re: Only his mother....
That reminds me of the mother who recognized her son in the photo of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima, even though the only part of him visibile was his rear end!silvercamaro wrote:Only his mother would recognize him
