Some information about "The Kenosha Kid" story I need to impart is that 
this particular Kenosha Kid takes  his name not from the Kenosha of 
Wisconsin but rather from "the Kenosha Pass" in the Colorado Rockies.  
One could easily make quite of bit out of this vis-a-vis the Pynchon 
novel. A pass is an interface and the idea of interface is very 
prominent in Part I--Beyond the Zero.  A mountain pass is an interface 
between two sides of a mountain and the passes one drives or hikes 
through in the Rockies form the interface par excellence of American 
geography--that is, the North/South line of which the Rockies are a 
part is the American Continental Divide, from one side or the other of 
which (in the case of the Rockies) water flows East into the 
Mississippi River or West into the Pacific Ocean.
