Last night I tried to tell Christine Wandel about Bohemians. She got upset when she thought I called her a Bohemian. She did not know what a Bohemian was. She heard it used in a derogative manner. When my mother and I beheld a photo of our other-worldly kindred having a picnic in the Oakland Hills, she said;

“These are Bohunks.”

Note the rifle hanging in the tree. Stefen is the brother I deserved. I have a Artist Ally in the world.

A hour ago I got off the phone with Stefen Eins who Christine said I conjured up and brought into her life when she really needed a friend. He told me his people are Bohemians who lived in the Czech Republic. I told him my grandfather, Wensel Anton Braskewitz (Prescowitz) was born there.
