I can never separate fact from fiction in Virgil's posts. Truth is: I'm not sure Virgil even knows fact from fiction in his life. Virgil is like Kevin Spacey's character in The Usual Suspects; he's sitting in a room looking around and making stuff off the cuff. You don't know if he's spinning a tale or telling the truth - it's amusing nonetheless doe...
You're man of many faces, Virg - I'll give ya that. I like the time when you were freighthopping from train to train 'cross this great nation. You're a Jack Kerouac kind 'o guy
Oh, that was pure fiction. I did know a homeless guy in my town, who claimed he was from Germany, and was probably a felon on the run, who was hopping freights.
I just made up a tail around that for the most part.
Mark Twain style. His writing was like that, based on his life and the lives of people he knew. He said Tom Sawyer (the character) was a combination of himself and a couple other people.
