Think one must see and hear this man/wizzard in person.

Excellent find Lyn so a very appropriate entry for Wacky Wednesday.

A photo for wacky Wednesday he may be, but I admire his perseverance and strength of his conviction after reading the link to Wikipedia. . Otherwise he would not have survived so long as wizard. Interesting post Lyn.

What an interesting character...a bit wacky perhaps but to be applauded for his out-of-the-box thinking and sticking to his principles...he does look wise...perhaps knows something the rest have yet to find out...good one for WW.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

What a great read LE. The photo was displayed so I had to look on my Ipad to view "The Wizard."
Delightful post that would be in the photojournalism category if we had one.
