Warehouse.

тАШWeтАЩre growing old, Jim,тАЩ he said.

тАШThank you for that piece of news,тАЩ I said. тАШIt has made my day.тАЩ

тАШBut I propose we have a final fling. IтАЩm throwing a party. A
dig-it-out-of-your-closet party. A Zenith Cobra-Matic came in the shop
yesterday - which is why IтАЩm out looking for singles - and I want people to
bring their singles that theyтАЩve saved - dress in period - IтАЩll supply Tang and
smokeables.тАЩ

тАШTang?тАЩ

тАШWell, I hope weтАЩre going to be orbiting.тАЩ

With NASA visions dancing through my head, the day passed.

Ordinary business intervened for a while, then one day Janet brought
her lunch - some multi-grain bread sandwich and a clear bottle of some
healthy water. With idle curiosity I picked up the bottle (bright with my
shopтАЩs light). One hundred per cent Pure Glacial Water - The WorldтАЩs
Purest.

тАШGlacier water?тАЩ I asked.

тАШI know,тАЩ she said, тАШitтАЩs probably not worth it, but the image seems so
good on a polluted day.тАЩ
 Glacier water.

Snow water.

I could put this with the mirror display.

My research hadnтАЩt been as fruitful as I wouldтАЩve liked. It seemed that
тАШDrтАЩ Randolph was a mulatto philosopher and magician who managed to
carve a niche for himself against the grain of a resistant America. He
advocated womenтАЩs rights, the transformation of society through romantic
love, and the practice of magic, particularly clairvoyance. HeтАЩd written a
novel, Ravalette, and several books on magic including Sexual Magic and
Seership. His occult society, the Hermetic Order of Eulis, included such
notables as Abraham Lincoln, General A. H. Hitchcock, and other movers
and shakers of the Civil War North. Those following his sexual teachings
(without the benefit of romantic love) included the OTO and the Fraternitas
Saturni. His healing techniques sans both romance and sex are practised
today in black Chicago evangelical churches. All in all, he seemed to
belong to that order of nineteenth-century visionaries possessed of a
global and restorative vision. Move over Owen, Michelet, Proudhon and
Fourier.
