We are with Reef and OBA has another coincidental plot meet-up. Chance everywhere.
(or is it?....he has the thought he needs to 'blow something up" and, vavoom, Flaco appears.) Remember that stuff just passed about 'shared thoughts', a community consciousness?.......Apply here?
p. 849 "Flaco"--another 'slim"...A---and, a bilingual pun or homonym (or whatever) in English.... a Flake-O?
p.849 The term flâneur (or jetter) comes from the French verb flâner, which means "to stroll". A flâneur is thus a person who walks the city in order to experience it. Because of the term's usage and theorization by Charles Baudelaire and numerous thinkers in economic, cultural, literary and historical fields, the idea of the flâneur has accumulated significant meaning as a referent for understanding urban phenomena and modernity. wikipedia, I think.
