I’ve heard it so many times ; The word is light originates in the center of the sun, then takes two hundred thousand years to reach the Earth, only eight minutes of that after being emitted from Sol’s surface. This may solve the space time contraction so today’s sunlight can reach the Earth of today , but imagine the confusion of the soul, absorbed by the sun, for cleansing, then sent back for another lifetime two hundred thousand years or just a fraction of a generation ? “you can check out any time you like , but you can never leave.” Gary has adapted to this west coast life, over the past seven or eight years, the asthma is just about gone, inhaler, replaced by a bathing suit , and sandals. He’s eating at the spaghetti factory, hanging out at the comedy club , making a bunch of money, still driving a Pinto, getting a kick out of my shitbox . Susan thought the wooden tailgate was charming , but nobody likes rusted quarter panels. So , three months trying to refurbish Arthur’s flophouse, in Bellefonte , Pa., two and a half years in Massachusetts, and still a transient. We’ll see about this Oregon stuff . It’s early March. 1981, as usual closing in on a family birthday, this time it’s Moms. Gary’s hot shit, an exec , in LaLa land , as it’s known to the sarcastic , or is that scarasstic , but even he Beakster can’t avoid dirty hands , when in contact with one of my shitboxes . The spare tire rack’s an underneath contraption, hinge , three foot piece of U shaped steel , bolt , plate , and king sized wing nut . Remove wing nut, drop plate, U shaped [looks a lot like the engineering stakes we used at Khe Sanh, to reinforce the ceilings of the hole-in the side of the trench- sleeping hootches] steel swings down, and the tire is free. Back in Mass . some high school chick[ uninsured, of course ] ran into the back of the Wagoneer, and didn’t have so much as a shoe lace to help tie up the steel stake, which was now dragging. The girl was without emotion, and I was late for work . No amount of Mickey Mousing ever really solved the spare tire rack sag, but this is a shitbox, so one simply makes do . Now some crawling around and rope is necessary . Gary is drafted , to push the hinge, at sporadic intervals, birth a family legend of how he got his hands dirty, a valuable rjetorical device, as in , “ I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty to help out a family member .” And so, many pages accidentally converted to white text on a light blue background are back to black and white and the next sentence connects beginning and end . A project Ive had such fun with , some more reading, music, editing ,
