------------------------------------ There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.
----------------------------------- Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

30 years ago today Philip K. Dick was found unconscious in his apartment in Santa Ana, California as the result of a stroke. He never regained consciousness and died on March 2cnd 1982.
I’m selling some postcards I designed on ebay over the next couple of weeks to celebrate his life, work, and vision. All proceeds go to a great little charity called Read A Story which reads books to kids and them gives them a copy of the book to share with their family and friends.
