Mayer, AZ Time Travel Big Bug Station Style

Are those old wooden doors into Big Bug Station a time portal or what? I was hunkered down on the stool and sippin’ one of Mike Connors’ hot cold pressed coffees, when in walks a dude that had seven foot tall charisma made up of tall bull rider type of cowboy hat and an ankle length slicker in the Aussie drysabone tradition with buttoned capelet over the back. He looked so tall and soooo silent as he seemed to stalk into the room and just absorbed the feel of the place. He probably thought that he had stepped back in time if he was of this time. I know, I know, I have an overactive imagination but he really seemed more to have stepped Out of the past rather than into as most of us here at Big Bug Station feel. The old dance hall/gathering place has that sort of fell to it. Guess the tall silent stranger spoke to someone a bit. Enough to find out he is from the East Indies or was it the West Indies? Anyway that and he is a Zen Master. Whoa! I told you we meet truly interesting locals here at The Big Bug Station. This one usually hangs his cowboy hat in the Cottonwood, Cornville area. Hope he comes back. I think he would have a tale or two to share.
