Howdy folks:
Welcome to Michael Perry’s Voice Mail, episode 269. This one’s available to free and paid subscribers alike. Click the player above to listen.
In this episode I revisit the adventures of two cousins—Herbie and Delmar—and bid Delmar good-bye after over a century of a life well-lived. In the Marginalia section (scroll down) I share related photos and videos.
I also have two announcements. One concerns my goddaughter Amy.
The other concerns some current events.
While recording today’s episode I was reminded for the forty-’leventh time how many rich experiences I have been allowed in this life. I hope I convey them in gratitude and joy, and I hope I convey how grateful I am for the time you take to read, listen, and follow.
I never take it for granted.
Thank you,
Mike

After he finished recording, Jaime got a ride:
The hovercraft I bought at Herbie’s auction is tattered and out of commission, but the one in the video below is the exact same model and color (minus Herbie’s crazy modifications):
There’s a little more to the Herbie and Delmar story in Population 485.
The airplane can be heard on the “Tiny Pilot” track of this album.
The hidden track can be heard here.
The airplane also appears in Coop.
