Just read this St. Jack tale of the mind for the 3rd time in 30 years and I will read it again in another 10 years because you can't fall off a mountain....

yabyum, took me years to realize where he took his user name from.

I have read it twice, my hero that bad old man
I wonder how many people call him Japhy "Snyder"

You can't fall off a mountain? I don't remember that bit, but I think I must have ripped it off unconsciously because I started reading Kerouac in the early seventies and that is when I started saying "you can't fall the edge of your mind." I said that until l I met a man who had fallen off the edge of his mind. These days I don't say it much cause I am too busy trying to change my chromosomes.

Hank Williams Jr. fell off a mountain I have heard. Maybees he was just using poetic license.
