I think back to my recent tongue and cheek Kentucky Derby post now that I hear the sad news of my old mate Gordon White passing away this year in Peru and think about one of his last You Tubes about 'Omen Logic' and think that the scratching in the Kentucky Derby really does seem to be a bad omen to me now.
Around 2020 I thought Gordon had lost the plot with his views on Covid vaccines and his views on Australia, the country I love (and I still do) but I would often check into his 'Rune Soup' blog (the free part that is) to see if the universe (or "Mother Ayahuasca") had slapped any sense into his head. And I could see that he still post-2020 would often sneak in to have a look at what I was writing on the blog (because I would see traffic coming from Paraguay in my blog stats when he was over there). Ironically, if it wasn't for seeing Gordon with his red candle I probably wouldn't have picked up and read 'The Believer' at this time in my life, so for that I have to thank the sync gods and Gordon, I guess. I only ever got to meet Gordon once in person in this lifetime, but we would chat on this blog and in emails quite often pre-Covid times.
Well, Speak of the Devil, More Lizards?
