Mental Health Afternoon-evening

I-5, Vancouver/Seattle w/ Dan Bejar and Mr. Otis Clay for company. Thai food at my favorite cheapie takeout stall under the monorail, and, later, nighthawk browsing at Magus Books. Found two (of four) volumes of Orwell's collected essays, letters and journalism, and an Oxford illustrated Dickens. Big lineup for Farenheit 9-11 in the U district. Clouds drifting in off the Pacific, farm smells in the dark near Mount Vernon and, inexplicably, fireworks all the way home, rising up from ball fields and deserted overpasses, glittering green-gold showers sputtering over the trees.

"Seven hours?" asked the customs guy. "Was it worth it?"

Oh yes.
