ATDTDA (6) 'Fax

[John BAILEY]

I keep bumping up against those geographical names - Lake, Reef, and now
Mont, Wood and Dale. All in a family way. Frank and Kit... not so much.
But they also seem like those classic Pynchon tricks of misdirection.
Can't see how the names are actually significant.

Maybe it's because rich people use family names as first names.

In my day, we was so poor we couldn't afford all those fancy
polysyllables

we had one phonic sound in our name, and that's the way we liked it!
