Yesterday a man came into the Woodstock Library and introduced himself, saying he was born in England but raised in California. “I’m Dodger Brooks. And today I’m here visiting your fair city.”
I was so excited and assumed he was here because of John and the podcast.
“If you want to sign the door and talk about John and the podcast, you’ve come to the right place!”
He looked at me quizzically and said, “I’d like to use the john, if that’s ok. What’s a podcast?”
Needless to say, I had a great time introducing Dodger to John B. McLemore and S-Town.
He is riding a bicycle across the USA and has been on the road for 8 years.
He doesn’t use a phone, but had an old IPod so we hooked it up to the library Mac and downloaded S-Town.
This guy is very much like John in some ways. He marches to the beat of his own drummer and he’s very into environmental concerns. A free spirit, refusing to conform to society.
He left the library listening to S-Town, peddling down Eastern Valley Road towards Tannihill, where he was going to camp for the night.
He would pass John’s road on the right about ten minutes into Chapter 1.
