• He was skinning a bear. I was terrified at first, because the corpse resembled a naked man quartered between two trees. He'd created a deadfall trap over some big talus blocks and the bear had fallen in. He used the skin for something and jerked the meat. If it wasn't astonishing enough behavior in a national park, the next day he made donuts, using bear fat for grease ! Surely, by now, he's created an empire somewhere in the world.

You learn other players' licks at first; then you take off the training wheels and start using the licks as building blocks to make your own thing. That's how influences work. somewhere in whatever I do, there's a little bit of Hendrix - plus about a hundred others

  capitalism is a path toward economic development that is potentially
  available to all countries. No underdeveloped country in the
  Third World is disadvantaged simply because it began the growth
  process later than Europe, nor are the established industrial powers
  capable of blocking the development of a latecomer, provided
  that country plays by the rules of economic liberalism.
