Hello, hello, hello peeps. This is Diana Randall Bro coming to you live from the ever beautiful, always charming town of Prescuit, Arizona. Now, once again, it’s live for us. It won’t be live for you. You’ll be watching a recording. That’s right. But we are alive. He likes to correct me on that, but and I always forget. But yeah, he is right about that. I shouldn’t say that. So, he’s right to clarify. No, I just It’s live for me in the moment. Yeah. Um, it will be live one day when you watch it, but anyway. Anyway, whatever. Thank you for that. Something sad today. Something sad today. We heard uh the recent passing of uh one of the one of the real characters of Arizona. And that is the uh NASA hoax guy. Yep. NASA hoax guy passed this past month. And as you know, in every town where you live in, um, and in particular smaller towns, there’s always a couple of cast of characters. Absolutely. That you think, “Wow, I just love this person and what they bring and their uniqueness and what they bring to the community.” Always a topic of discussion and uh maybe that’s what he was all about. He made people think, made people talk and it’s the NASA hoax guy. The NASA hoax guy. Yeah. It makes me think of uh again kind of showing my age. It’s been a while, but it used to be the ducky lady in New Orleans. I forget, which is we’re originally from New Orleans. So, this was a lady that would uh roller skate around the French Quarter and just I don’t know, just be a character. She does really kind of strange. Of course, in New Orleans, more people, I guess, are characters than normal, but uh we love characters. We love characters. We embrace them. We’d like and our goal is to eventually be our own characters one day. That’s right. That’s right. So, uh weird. We’re going to be one of those. Yeah. So, the NASA hoax guy had a pickup truck. You would see it all around town and he uh he would write NASA as a hoax that they know you’re stupid, you know, don’t fall for it. Come. It was spray painted all around his car. And he regularly would park by the square. He would drive slowly around the square so everybody could read it and uh kind of get the old noodle thinking. Yeah. Is this guy on to something that we don’t know? But he in his mind truly felt like NASA was a hoax. Moon landing, all of that. None of that was real. Some of it, some of it might be. I think maybe some of it. I don’t know. But uh sadly, he uh it was just written up in the local newspaper here that he had passed away. So, I think all I think we speak for a lot of people here in Prescate, we’re going to miss seeing that miss that damn truck. I mean, it was always something that you saw and it was comforting. It was like there he is. He’s still, you know, it was just it was just part of our part of our little scenery and uh you miss those little things. Yeah, absolutely. Well, one day you you guys may miss the pickle driving around. Appreciate Appreciate your characters. Appreciate your characters. You never know. And people like to celebrate diversity. To me, that’s diversity at its best. uh people with a different opinion, different outlook on life and a different way of being and that’s what makes life enjoyable. So now there are two others that I kind of see floating around and well one is uh it’s a car. It’s vaccines are are Yeah. Yeah. are are killers and their whole cars, you know, and I’m sure they’ve had a personal experience or something. They may and they’re entitled to their opinion. Absolutely. Um but again, it’s always nice to see it. It’s just it’s just it’s nice that people can maybe open your eyes and like, hey, let me think about that. That’s something maybe I never thought about. Yeah. So they serve a purpose. Yeah. And we have another character. She li loves to walk around the square really fast and arms and legs of Kimoo and you’ll see her all the time walking around the square. And again, it just gives you a sense of comfort like, “Hey, here’s my little cast of characters. These are they’re kind of like friends you didn’t know you had or they don’t know you have, you know, but um there’s Boondog and Bob. Uh shout out to Boondog and Bob.” Who’s that? Why? His car says Boondog and Bob. Evidently, he boondoggs in his car a lot. I guess if you’re boondogging, you probably shouldn’t. A boondoggy thing. I think it means uh you go out to the boondocks where there’s uh no water, electricity, maybe off the grid. I don’t know. He’s in the boondock. Boondog and Bob. I haven’t had a conversation with Boondock and Bob, but there you go. Kind of a crazy car. You know, the car is kind of crazy. Absolutely. We have zebra landscaping. They have zebras all over the place. uh signs that they put. Um, again, it’s part of part of the scenery. I mean, I’m sure people think we’re crazy driving around with pickles on our on our on our car. So, I pickle van’s probably uh that’s kind of weird. People, it’s fun. So, if you come to visit us, you will get in the van with pickles. So, if you are have any kind of embarrassment magnet, by the way, just a just a women just throw themselves. They love the pickle at the pickle van. Beat them off with a with a stick. Sure. Everybody. Yeah, pickles are Yeah, exactly. But I mean, so, uh, maybe we’re part of the Yeah. Yeah. part of the background here. I don’t know. But it’s fun. So, I think anybody who does stuff like that, there’s just something about them. They’re they’re brave. They don’t care. They’re like, you know what? I’m putting it out there. Take it or leave it. Be me, baby. We got to be us. So, we drive with the pickle. And I got a pickle hanging in my car. I got the whole thing.
