It must be noted however that Dorothy and her friends, and even people from Orange county, were stunned at the enthusiasm I had for painting and the impact some of my works had on them. (Almost all of my paintings were eventually lost through a series of housing disasters and economic losses in which most of the things I owned were sold off or thrown in the trash or simply abandoned.)

In those days, my two most frequent visitors from Orange County, one whom I called “The New Mexico Man” and the other “The Tijuana Drifter,” came and went on a regular basis. Both of these fellows enjoyed seeing my latest artistic creations but, even more than that, enjoyed going into Mexico with me to eat Tijuana-style street-food tacos and drink Mexican beer. Given that I was temporarily more tolerant to alcohol, the Mexican beer and peppery tacos, each doused in lime juice, proved to be amazingly refreshing and, astonishingly, a kind of health food that bolstered me physically and psychologically. Both the New Mexico Man and The Tijuana Drifter were philosophers by nature, the former being a true psychotic who really had profound delusions, and the other being a successful computer programmer back in the days when such people were rare and made considerable money. Without The Tijuana Drifter spotting me for several hundred meals in my twenties, I should have been made homeless just trying to pay for rent and food. And were it not for the undying loyalty of The New Mexico Man, I should have been a kind of mad prophet shouting in the desert alone to himself during the many intervals of social failure I faced.
