On Sunday I was in our shop at Sherwood Forest Faire, a Renaissance festival near Austin. A family came in with two sons around age 6 or 7. I was wearing my wide brimmed, wool felt Cavalier hat, that's olive green and weathered and dusty. I also had on a thin green wool cloak, wrapped up around my shoulders and pinned in place.
One of the boys says to me, "You look like that guy from Indiana Jones."
I inquired which guy that might be. "Indy's friend. The one who's crazy."
I thought for a moment and realized that he was talking about Harold "Ox" Oxley from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, portrayed by accomplished actor John Hurt.
So, apparently I look like an older, crazy John Hurt.
Yeah, I'll take that.
This is from a friend’s Facebook page. It was just so dieselpunk, I had to steal it for my own!
Watch your step.

My friend Karma Rose is an artist and author. She works mainly in ink and wax crayon, and she does some really beautiful work. She made this for me...The Red Centaur! She is so full of awesome!
I would TOTALLY drive this!
