#3 MJ

There are plenty of nice pictures of this guy, but I thought these would be more appropriate. A few lovely self-portraits.

Miles is...well...I don't really know how to describe him if you don't know him...

He lives to fish. No seriously. It's like he speaks this whole alternate language that nobody in the universe speaks except people who fish.

For example - "A good way to trout fish is to get a woolly bugger and attach it to a gang troll, then you troll at about 5 miles an hour."

And "Buzz bombs are quite heavy lures that are mostly good for jigging. They're mostly for salmon and rock cod, and sometimes you might catch a small halibut with them."

I may have quoted him incorrectly, my fishing lingo could use a little work.

He lives as if his entire life is on a comedy show. He's good at being hilarious. He'll strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere. He's super charismatic.

If he doesn't grow up to be a comedian, he'll probably be an entrepreneur. He's been selling stuff his whole life, from beans and tomatoes from the garden, to wooden carvings, to painted rocks and bouquets of greenery from the yard. One time he set up a stand at the road to sell buckets of water which he collected from the potholes in our driveway. When I asked him what they were for, he told me people could save money by buying it to water their plants with. He was charging $5 for a large gallon bucket.

Well, that's Miles.
