Derek Davis

Re: "On Throwing Stuff out"--Derek Davis is a once in a lifetime idiosyncrat. He put up so generously with my unpredictable aberrations that I’m eternally grateful for his freestyle editing me in the Welcomat.
    
I secretly envied his flight to the woods. Except that distant fire protection and just plain absent water are truly invaluable irreplaceable commodities.
    
My heart goes out to his wife Linda, whose unique art was consumed by the fire. But both are unique souls who deserve each other’s humanism. May their luck improve in the woods.
    
P.S. I’ve been reading swatches of Derek’s oughtobiography for the past several months. It will be a smash affirmation of intellectual freedom when it’s done. The sooner, the better.
