You said it out loud.

Hey Excuse me all to hell If I gotta suffer me so do you

Listen. We’re gonna be in Nebraska for a long while, Joe; we just got here. Any other gems or pearls of wisdom you want to share so they’re out and we can put them to rest. I’m pretty sure I can help you with that.

Youre pretty sure because theres only you and I

Yes. Might get pretty ugly.

You might wanna pause an recall I live in Califormiahave lived there longer than anywhere else Ive ever lived Im a stranger in a strange land

You copping Heinlein’s line?

Youve read Heinlein I thought you were a King freak

Stranger in a Strange Land was seminal. I couldn’t have gotten out of high school, hung with the friends I had if I didn’t read it.

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were my crosses to bear Havent read fantasy since  Howbout Huxley

Huxley?

The Doors of Perception William Blake

No. No.  That was tworight two Nos I should have uttered, correct?

Correct A Blake line suggested Doors to Huxley I believe The Doors took their nameMorrison suggested it from Huxleys work . .

Kerouac

Kerouac

When you belch you’re supposed to say excuse me.

Fuck you

You are seven years older. Maybe courtesy wasn’t taught then.

Or maybe its the sheer flatness of Nebraska robbing me of my senses Great place to set pins along the side of the highway and bowl or dig holes and shoot a fine game of pool

I think you’re thinking of Kansas, ha.

No no There a tornado would come alongfuck with our game an snatch us off to Oz  Then Id be forcedhave to live in colour  not black and white

Jesus. You’re tough to follow; live in color?

Yah I didnt see The Wizard of Oz in colour or know that Oz had been shot in colour until Eightysixeightyseven I saw it with the girls Nearly shit Shithell nearly panicked

Eightysix or seven? Are you fucking kidding me?

Dont Im confidentyou as an only child had all things top of the line There are benefits to wealth that you take for granted

Im not jealous

I dig there were things I didntwe didnt have

Character?

Pardon me

I meant to suggest that not having things built character.

Ohshit youre smarter than I thought
