AtD (37) p. 1045, toilet scrying, ???, 'many bodies'.

[Mark Kohut]

P. 1044

hophead, used by the police and trusted by Lew, reads TOILET BOWLS!....Cf. Slothrop's trip down the toilet in GR. Cf. clues in the human 'waste', so to speak. Cf. N.O. Brown on money as shit in Life Against Death.  
(I just read a mystery in which there was another hophead with astonishing talent used by the police. A mystery novel stereotype Pynchon uses, I guess) 

Bad atmosphere. Emilio needs the mirrors covered? [see N. West on masques as Southern California?] Mirrors pervade TRPs work. What meaning here? "They're like fleas".."it stays focussed"..WTF?  

Mirrors distract him? Can't focus easily? Because of pot? ...to see WHAT that are like fleas?...??? Little bits of the past? fragments of images of time past? bits of 'time shrapnel"?...

Many bodies...bad, bad visions.
