Haystacks has been thinking…

For what it’s worth, I realized after recording this episode that I was talking into my phone as if I were on a direct call to you, The Listener. -HK

This photo of Blue 52 was a little too playful to post on episode 70’s page:

When I dropped off the gift for that musician to the “mule”, I left the exchange with these, no kidding:

The plot thickens😉 -HK

Don’t be a Farva:

You're out of your depth, I assure you. -HK

[The advice portion was as lightly-edited as possible, but I had to record the disclaimer for anybody who wouldn't want to hear advice from me immediately AFTER I'd recorded what follows it in the episode audio, and then edit it in directly BEFORE the advice is given in the episode. The audio was all from the same recording, though, and I walked back to the same spot and put my hand on the mountain in the same place while recording the disclaimer, so there's as much continuity as possible in that portion of this episode. -HK]

My introduction to Blindboy:

[For the record, Blindboy was Blindboy before I was Haystacks, but I was Haystacks long before I’d ever heard of Blindboy. -HK]

Serendipic/synchronistic note: I finished the shownotes for this episode three years to-the-day after I listened to Blindboy for the first time. Happy anniversary, Forces that I don't understand! -HK

This photo was taken right before I recorded that potential advice, with my hand on the granite, which represents your shoulder. (I kept it just like that for the entire duration of the advice part of the recording because, kid, I take this stuff seriously):

You can’t look into my eyes due to practical limitations, but ol’ Haystacks has some pretty deep ones you can use for that purpose:

The ouroboros/69 connection to Hinges is duly noted, but was *definitely* not intended. (As I’ve become accustomed to saying over the course of the past year, “Unexpected, yes, but not surprising.”)
