About the logo . . .

When I first started building the KarmaBum Cafe I wanted something unique to put on the logo. My oldest step-son did the picture for me. He took the picture of the caboose near Chico, California, and the layered in the cafe scene, Don Quixote, Sancho, and the windmill in the background. It's rough, but it was put together many years ago, and I like and have kept it. This picture is featured on the KarmaBum Credo page.

I put the logo together using software I purchased online. It's rough, but I like it and I'm keeping it. Some people have suggested that maybe the peace sign ought to go . . . it makes the site a little too uncommercial because of the hipster-dipster connotation . . . OK, I can live with that. A buddy and I were on a zig-zag roadtrip (east to west, mostly) quite a few years ago. He was reading the Dharma Bums and I was reading Don Quixote. Along the way we did some good deeds and passed the time getting across the miles 'n miles of Texas planning a restaurant we might like to open someday. It was going to be a combination of some cool eateries we had discovered along the way, and by and by we just arrived at a good name for it -- KarmaBum Cafe. Well, the restaurant never happened, but the name found a home. As it happens, he's the same friend navigating on the Traveling With The Infidel trip. Helluva dude.
