George, some things in this world defy explanation. Bob considers himself in that category. Right now he is in the shop/garage trying to fix a carburetor.
Bob wishes. It is a facsimile of the doctor’s house in the movie. The kid learned how to dive off of that dock. Bob helped him. That was a different Bob, but if you’ve seen one Bob, you’ve seen them all. Because Bob is part of all of us.
We ll have our "Bob", but for many they refuse to acknowledge him. Like the Guardian Angel, the conscience, the invisible Harvey (Jimmy Stewart's friend) the invisible rabbit. He is a muse, an unsung critic, the Greek chorus that helps explain the plot or are a specific point. "Bob's your uncle" may be a casual and somewhat meaningless comment but it still suggests that silent, unseen persona that is in all of us, sometimes ignored, repressed or let loose. I have my "Bob" and sometimes talk with him. His responses help me navigate life.
Jim, excellent. Early in your postings… perhaps 18 months ago, I emailed you about the identity of Bob. Mostly because I thought I’d missed an introduction and a friend I forwarded a posting asked me. True to this description, your response was somewhat vague. Bob is the Dutch Uncle we all need.
We all have, to some degree. Bob says thanks, for noticing.

With Bob, we are never alone. In fact, I can’t get rid of him!

I’ve known Bob for a long time.

Continue the good work.
Bob’s a good and loyal friend. Dependable, no BS, to the point. He does not waste our time. And he has definitely been around. The Fam approves.
One of the most cogent non-explanations I've seen!
Nicely put.
Is that Bob's house?
