Yeah, so what year is it in the book. 

It's kinda strange that Pynchon seems to drop all these songs in there
to mark the dates. 

The radio station letters seem to be clues, like we're playing wheel of
fortune or something. 

Toby, what dates do have for the farm organizers scene, the
confrontation at Berkeley, the  college of the surf events?

It's always worth trying to figure this stuff out. Like Benny's clock
and calendar, things are not always what they seem. 

Maybe Sister R is talking to a Japanese Cartoon Character who happens to
be 30. 

Also, if we can unravel these two women, Frenesi and DL are lovers and
they are born at the same time, maybe we can figure out their star
charts.
