I won’t call Justin Eischeid by his old nickname anymore. After he surprised me by taking a bus from the Midwest all the way out to Pittsburgh I have started to call him “Red Cloud.” Justin is a good kid at heart, and like the most of us he has made some mistakes, but he is learning. We had a great time for the few days of his visit, and I’d like to think Justin left the Steel City having learned even more. Either way, I’m glad Justin decided to hop on a Greyhound bus and endure hours of slow travel just to blade the grimy streets of Pittsburgh with the Yinzer crew.
