Quotes
The Boy: [who just helped him carry a huge, heavy 1935 console radio upstairs] Think it still works?
Ed Lindsay: [starts to turn on radio] Sure. Of course, it works. They made things to last in those days, boy.
The Boy: [listens to some modern, loud, blaring, rock 'n' roll instrumental music on the radio] Hey, that's pretty wild, alright.
Ed Lindsay: [upset that he likes modern music, shows him the door, gives him some coins] Get out. Go buy yourself a switch-blade!

BACKSTORY: "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
by me, Kerry Burgess, 04/11/2026 08:24 AM
circa 1975
DeQueen, Arkansas
Back in that year of this key detail, for some baffling reason, Thedia dropped off Melissa and me at the grand opening of the new Bailey's hardware store
We roamed around in there a while before she returned to pick us up
The second time that day, a woman approached me and asked if I had a Cub Scout meeting that day, probably under the pretense of finding out why two little kids were just roaming around inside that hardware store unaccompanied.
No, I said to her, I just like wearing the shirt.
Linda Barrett's dialog sure does remind me a lot of stuff - highly relevant stuff

from my private journal, as me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:

Everytime I think about that surgery at the Texarkana dentist, something in my mind keeps forming that it represents something that happened when I was a POW in Vietnam.
Star Trek - "Metamorphosis" - tv-series Season 2 Episode 9, 11/10/1967
Episode Summary
When their shuttle is diverted to a planetoid, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy encounter Earth's Warp Drive pioneer, Zefram Cochrane, who appears to have survived there alone for 150 years.
(from internet transcript)
KIRK: You say you can communicate with it. Perhaps you can find out what we're doing here.
Zefram COCHRANE: I already know.
KIRK: You wouldn't mind telling us?
COCHRANE: You won't like it.
KIRK: I already don't like it.
COCHRANE: You're here to keep me company.
KIRK: You mean you brought us here?
COCHRANE: No, the Companion did. I told it I'd die of loneliness. I thought it would release me. Instead, it brought you here.
NANCY: No! No! No!
