The Idiot has become an avid follower of Liberty and Guardian, two bald eagles in Redding, California, who are preparing to start a new family. He checks on them during his daily hikes, avidly keeps up with them on a new, higher-tech webcam and is a member of the “Friends of the Redding Eagles” on Facebook.
The Idiot, who spent twenty years walking around the Mediterranean Sea to produce his trilogy of The Idiot and the Odyssey travel narratives, spent his first night on the path in January 1998 at a Cistercian monastery on a Mediterranean island. A couple weeks later he was sleeping with lots of naked men, women and children at the world’s largest nudist colony in Cap d’Agde, France.
The Idiot, like everyone else, had a great time in 2020. Here are twelve randomly chosen “consequential” moments from the past year that he might not forget.
The Idiot ended the most phantasmagorical year of his life by finding optimistic and colorful signs during his daily pandemic hikes in Northern California.
The Idiot, who usually meditatively meanders along the Pacific Ocean when he drives from one end of California to the other, avoided almost any contact with his fellow human beings when he stuck to two-lane blacktop during a pandemic road trip from Palm Springs in SoCal to Redding in NorCal.
How did The Idiot react when he learned that a persistent paparazzo had taken illicit pictures of his family during a pandemic break in an isolated villa in Palm Springs, California?
