can’t believe these things are happening to
you.
Wildcard question: Why me, for life? I try
to understand my whole experience here and
I realize that for me — whatever higher pow-
ers there are — it’s not preordained, but just
an experience.
Best Mullet:
Dean Grazier-DelCastillo
Strangest job: I’ve always been an entre-
preneur and rarely worked for anyone; I’ve
always had my own businesses, like
Spiderman Tree Service, my current one.
Best paranormal experience: I’ve had
dreams that have come true and have thought
Best Mail Carrier:
David Harmon Miller
Strangest job: I was in the military during
Vietnam, and it was weird in that I guess I
was unprepared for what was going on there.
I went from being sort of a moderate sup-
porter to not supporting at all. A lot of things
that went on nationally, internationally and
personally made it a weird experience.
Best out of body experience: I’m an
epileptic, even though I haven’t had an
episode for 15 or 20 years. I got that in the
service, too. It’s not really the best, but it

questions of people but I didn’t speak and
they answered me. Like once, my girlfriend
was walking across the living room and I
thought, ‘Would you please bring me my
hairbrush?’ and she did. I asked her why she
did it and she said because I asked her to. She
thought I had said it aloud. We even argued
about it.
Wildcard: How am I going to get past this
point in my life? That’s been troubling me
lately. I’ve got serious back problems stem-
ming from a childhood injury. I need to have
surgery; if I don’t, I’ll become crippled. But
if I take the time off work to have surgery,
my wife and I will lose everything. I have no
answer to that.
