March 8th, a decade ago, Kari Weaver and her two partners were buying the One Of A Kind Art Gallery, Micaville, NC. They were closed, but I knocked on the door and asked if I could hang out on their porch and wait for a ride. “No problem. Don’t break anything.”
I was hitchhiking US Highway 19E and NC Highway 80 in western NC. At the intersection of these two busy roads, I took a photograph of my guitar case and backpack against a metal sculpted “Zimmy Dragon” outside One Of A Kind Art Gallery, Micaville, NC. The story begins.
I posted the picture on Facebook. A few days later, I get a FB message from Kari Weaver asking if the Gallery could use my photograph. “No problem,” I said. “Don’t break anything.”
Somehow, that day brought the prints of my feet across someone else’s path. A year later, on February 29th, Kari asked me to marry her. I did. I’d do it again.
Happy "Path Crossing Day," Kari! 
“Will you marry me?”
No problem, just remember,
Don’t break anything.
Peace, Y'all!
