Spreading the Good Word

A few years back my good friend Mother Theresa and I were slammin some beers at one of her favorite pubs. After a few shots of Jagermeister she slurred, "Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
As you know each week I put out a little message for the passerbyer's on Highway 1.
My inspiration comes from many sources.
But my words always come from the heart and soul of Carlos.
On my last day at the pharmacy I was working at in Fort Bragg, I ran into a customer who I knew lived in Westport. His name is Mike Cutino. A crazy cool guy who rides a jet ski over the dangerous waves of the ocean, sometimes 20 foot swells. Soon the Discovery channel will be doing a feature story on his hobby and possibly put Westport on the map before I do.
While discussing Westport, I told Mike where I lived. He said," So are you the guy with the whale?" I said yes. "And you make the signs?" I said yes again, this time I was a bit more apprehensive. He said...."We call your place The Church"
"And we call you The Roadside Prophet!"
That will be the name of the book I am making of all the signs.
The son of Carlos was born today & the Evil Empire strikes again!
