Do you know the way to San Jose?   I do.  Or I did. You just go west from anywhere in

‘merica until you get salty wet.  Well, get the hell outta the Great Salt Lake, What are you a Moron?   Now continue west  till salted up again like a pretzel Then go back back a wee bit.  STOP, You are in San Jose where my family, immigrants from Netherlands set up an orchard in the 20’ and 30’s. Very fertile land (concrete now).  They grew cherries, apricots, peaches, almonds and so on.  In summer I went to pick fruit and get  stomach aches.  Bill, they said, put the fruit in the basket not your mouth, you idiot!   But it was so extraordinary good that….. well you know.  You were an idiot once too.   Oh, not you?   Well sorry.  Anyway I only bring it up to….to……oh, well because……never mind.  Forget the whole thang.

I start again.   Do you know the way to Duluth?  I do.  It is easy to find if you are swimming in a big pond of fresh water.  Just go west as far as you can and BINGO, there it is and here you are, all blue.  Now come ashore and thaw your self out for a week or two.  Scrape off any eels, barnacles and stuff and for god sake put some clothes on.   You look disgusting.
