SLPAD - 45 - “snap to, Levine!”

[Michael Bailey]

(From GR song “Snap to, Slothrop”

“ No one here can love or comprehend me
They just look for someplace else to send…me…”)



Picnic: “…storm or something. Lines are down.” He put a nickel in [the Coke
machine] and as usual nothing happened. “Bravo company to the rescue.”

Picnic’s Coke machine mishap - takes me back. That’s something that used to
happen, also with coffee machines - been a while!

More complaining, accompanied by smokes & Cokes, until

“…finally Levine stood up and put his hands in his pockets letting his gut
bulge out.
               “Well,” he said, “I reckon I’ll go pack.”

            “Wait a minute,” Picnic said. “I’ll go with you.” They went out
the screen door and back down the gravel path to the sand area in front.


So at least he’s got a buddy now.
