2008feb21. I’m shovelling great wads of paper out of my life and ran across a trip journal ... eleven years ago I made a completely unnecessary 1400 mile road trip (~87.00USD) detour that could have been circumvented in one sentence by an incredible German asshole working at a hostel but I guess he decided I wasn’t worth the courtesy, not that I had met him at that point. Here we “tune” in to our last conversation, before I had learnt of his treachery; the last line is my triumphant writer’s embellishment.
Me: “Well, see you around ... “
Him: “Typical American comment ... you going to Germany?”
Me: “Well no, not now, dickhead.”
Much better. I have changed reality. This is how I will remember it from now on.
