Found another mugshot of a family member on one of those mugshot sites. First cousin this time.
Last time I saw him, I think he was three or four years old.
And another brother of a close friend from that time.
I look not to make fun of those people. It’s to remind myself that I could’ve been — and used to be — those people.
I remember a conversation many, many years ago with my brother which was basically the same question repeated over and over
“What ever happened to [your friend you used to hang out with]?”
The most common answer was “He’s in prison now.” The occasional “He’s working at a gas station” or “He’s working for his dad” were the bright spots.
Cracker Florida is a hell of a place….
