I met him almost two decades ago . I can’t really say I was “friends” with him, but I would see him and say hi almost every Thursday Friday Saturday when I would park my pedicab at the Velveeta Room.
The timing of this was such that I would happen to be strutting past the Esthers window right when Ray Anderson would make a joke about whatever passerby happened to be going past the big windows. For almost a year or so it was almost always me he would joke “Oklahoma must be empty tonight”…
It was supposed to be for random tourists but dumb luck would have me at the window at just the right time. I wasn’t planning it but it just kept working out that way. Jerome would always joke “hey oklahoma!” when he’d see me….
Esthers and Ray had worked Jerome into a regular character that would strut past the window on cue.
Sad that such a regular part of my life is now gone. Can you mourn and miss someone you didn’t really know? I think I can and I think I will.

Round Rock Honey is justly proud of it’s high quality, naturally grown and delicious Honey products.
I am so happy to be a part of letting folks know about this great product.
Shot with a Canon DSLR on a slider, and edited with Adobe Premiere. I added the “Lumetri” effect to make the footage seem more cinematic.
I drew the honey combs using the Adobe Photoshop Pen Tool. I colored it with the paint bucket tool.
The honeycomb image was imported as a Photoshop layer into Adobe After Effects.
( Import> Name> Import as layered sequence)
The layer was made into a “3D Space” image. Then the image was duplicated and “nudged up” one line. ( The layer was selected then the keyboard UP arrow was tapped once) Then this was repeated 150 times. ( Copy the 3D layer, select it and move it up one line. Repeat).
The honey jar image was added and made a 3D layer.
It was duplicated and at 8 seconds in the under layer darkens and has RADIAL blur added. Then a third copy occurs above and has the Stylize / GLOW effect applied to it. An elliptical mask moves over it.
The first shots were taken on a Go Pro 6 using a “Jaws” flex Clamp.
The rifle’s shooting action moved the camera quite a bit. That footage is within the first minute of this video.
The next set of video shots were taken from a Go Pro 4 using a “bicycle handlebar” clamp. I was much happier with those videography shots.
After approximately sevent minutes, the footage is from a conventional video camera. A handheld Canon G20.
I did a quick simple edit in Adobe Premiere. I hope a fancier edited version is soon to follow.
I am not a fire arms owner. I hardly ever use them. But I was impressed with the Hot Wells Gun Schoolstaff. Their place was very clean. Seemed very well organized. All the staff were very friendly
