On the map, the road forms a right angle and is very thick. This is odd, but I donāt worry about it because of the dream. A brown-haired man. this is his home, but the waterfall will take you down and kill you. You must avoid this. everything else is achingly beautiful. how could it be? I take the on ramp into a chaos of merging traffic.

In the rain should I bring the car around? (me, Lois and Nate). I canāt see. Itās raining! Wait, this is worse than sixth avenue in downtown Manhattan! The traffic in college town. Four lanes each way. Green highway signs. What? We drive thru laneways of brutal, fantastical architecture. Apartments fused together reaching for the sky Just pull a token.
