VLVL: What troubles Zoyd's sleep? (Was Why Hawaii and Summative Thoughts)

[Terrance]

Zoyd sleeps in like a teenager while his teen daughter heads off to work
(after feeding the dog, taking a message for him from the TV people and
arranging a ride with Thapsia). 
He hasn't learned much. Still a boy who refuses to grow up. (see P's
comments on American Males in SL Intro and Benny Profane, Pig Bodine and
the whole sick crew of American boyz) Zoyd's neglect of his daughter is
not quite as bad as the abuse so many of the kids in this novel have to
put up (not from the government but from their baby-boom parents), but
Prairie is constantly complaining about his lack of parenting skills,
his pot smoking, his sexual proclivities, and so on.  The moral yard
stick is in the text. 

Why does Zoyd plan to mess  with hard working men at the Log Jam? What
did they do to him? 

Why does he write a hot check for the dress? 

Why does a girl around his daughter's age say he should be locked up? 

Why is he doing business with all these criminal types? 

And with new age restaurants that cater to yuppies? 

Why does he get off driving in the fog with his lights off? 

Why, at the novel's end, is Zoyd still driving in the fog with his
lights off and hoping to run into Brock Vond? 

Zoyd is a wonderful character. We like him. 

We can't save him. He's gonna stay in Never Never Land.
