Aha! California folklore - Shasta, Bigfoot, Wolfman Jack,
Lemuria, (dim bulb, here, brown-out?)
Thank you - I honestly didn't see it. Perhaps I'm too close to the
forest (so to speak) - and some of these are from Northern California
(a whole 'nother ball game, imo - but perhaps not as different as I
sometimes think - and I don't think Pynchon separates them too much in
Vineland although - perhaps it's another one of those "invisible
lines."
