The sun had been in my eyes all day, stinging them even behind sunglasses, along with

the melting sunscreen, and by eight o’clock it was still aggressive as noon. I felt attacked,

wanted to attack the nearest vulnerable thing.

GUNS GOLD AND ROCK N ROLL

A Corvette convention in town, the downtown streets closed off and lined with Corvettes.

The owners strolled past and sat at outdoor tables drinking beer (the guys) and wine

(the wives). They’re mostly in their 60s, white, prosperous-looking in an unpleasant way.

Prosperity that has abdicated responsibility. Smug, was my interpretation. Their phallic

substitutes looked cute and slightly threatening, as if they might spurt any minute.

Still I wouldn’t mind a ride in a Corvette.

Enjoyed the highest speed limit so far today,

80 mph. I pushed to 90, the distances so distant and the

road there so flat and foreshortened.
