THE CLINT LOOK-A-LIKE
I just spoke with Mr. Carter and today there is no news regarding the Clint search, per se. However, from my conversation with him, I did find out something very interesting. There is apparently, a “Clint look-a-like.” This “Clint-ish” looking man (who is actually named Mark) used to frequent Carter’s garage. He is apparently around the same age as Clint, drives the same type of truck, but he works for a construction firm and is also a musician (who may or may not still be in a rock band in the area). Mark is not involved with Clint or any of his friends in any way and awhile ago, he moved back to Chicago, where he grew up. Carter has not seen him in almost a year, but he rolled down to the garage this morning to see if Carter could do some work on his truck. Apparently, he realized that the weather in Chicago was just too much to handle for him and he moved back to California recently.
Though not related to our story in any way, Carter and I marveled at the irony in all of this. In fact, Carter told me that Mark and Clint look so similar, were I to have driven up to the garage this morning when he was there, I would have initially been mad that Carter didn’t call me up to tell me Clint was down there. They apparently look that similar (though according to Carter, Mark’s hair is a little longer than Clint’s). Mark is supposedly coming back to the garage tomorrow, at which point Carter is going to take a picture of him to show me. He also told me that I could take the picture with me to show people what Clint looks like.
Not that I don’t trust Carter, but if when I look at this picture, this is the spitting image of the man I have been looking for all these months, it will further lend validity to all of this.
Carter also mentioned that he wondered if, perhaps, this was an “omen” of the real Clint’s return. Mark has been away from the shop for many many months. Then, out of the blue, he shows up down there this morning. And from what I understand, this is just the way things seem to work around there. As Mr. Carter bemused: is this a sign of Clint’s haphazard and imminent return?
Updates will follow…
