Sidelight - I live in Kansas City, Kansas (KCK)
We were very relieved when the Aryan Nation decided last year not to
have their headquarters here - they'd made the announcement, but after
a lot of negative response in the community, they decided to base in
Sebring Florida, instead.

Poor Sebring!  I'm rather proud of our community at least in that matter.

Other Kansas City highlight: local avant-hiphop group called Bacon Shoe
"This trio - consisting of an MC (Lethal D) who raps about sex and
disease, a hype man ("Toine) who shouts out the number of beers he
happens to be holding and calls himself "the cocktopus" ("because I
got eight dicks") and a guy in a paramedic suit and mangled dog-head
mask (Mr Ruggles) who cooks bacon on a griddle onstage and distributes
it to the crowd..."
possible Pynchon sighting?
"...The band is thoroughly absurd, but is the absurdity ironic or
avant-garde?  Is there a difference?" muses the local free paper (The
Pitch)

although Dixon arguably did cast aside his Quaker sensibilities in
drinking with Mason, he didn't cast aside, but rather followed Fox's
advice to find "that of God" in Mason and assist him in caring for the
wounded

"Quakers also use the terms Inner light and "that of God in Everyone",
among others. George Fox, considered the founder of Quakerism, and the
other early Quaker preachers believed that direct experience with God
was available to all people, without any mediation (e.g. through a
pastor, or through sacraments)."

I relish the locutions in this paragraph:
profuseness as in "a stranger with whom he moreover but hours before"

inversion as in "yet, erring upon the side of Conviviality, will he"
(ie, "he will")

and, "answer "that of God" in Mason, finding it" (ie, finding "that of
God") "soon enough..." going from the phrase to the pronoun with a
satisfying palpable celerity (there's probably a name for that)

GR 1,9
"Something's stalking through the city of Smoke - gathering up slender
girls, fair and smooth as dolls, by the handful.  Their piteous
cries...their dollful and piteous cries" Jessica's dreaming and doing
some wordplay of her own, and the doll eyes closing "down! over the
staring eyes come cream lids with stiff lashes, slamming loudly shut"
(which portrays the way a certain kind of doll acts, the ones I've
seen do that when you lay them down and open them when you stand them
up)
but in this case Jessica's waking is harsher than Pirate's: instead of
sunlight on the nipples, she is treated to another explosion
