[Author’s note 2025: I seem to have only the last page of today’s entry and it’s pretty damaged as well. It would appear I had just finished rejecting some gal and the way this is written I was pissed off. That can only usually happen when some girl has lied enough that it becomes an issue. I do not do women who have even been shacked up, much less divorced.]

After that you have to settle for some guy who likes secondhand women, but not me. At least until I’m so old it don’t make any difference and I need my socks washed once a week. I really try not to be cynical in love, but when I’m paying ,I like to get my money’s worth.
Then Dave and I went to Scottsdale. What a band. They were tight talented musicians. Two guys two girls. But they look like strays who were individually strung out on various theologies. The bass player looked like a 35 year old wino who [finally] grew his hair long and had just discovered leather. The lead player looked like a candyass who got too fancy a haircut for his personality and should have been an accountant instead.

Well good bye Mcdonald’s so I went next door it was full of punkers. The girls had Mohawks and green hair these are just kids that old people like to call down. So in my experience . . . that most teenagers follow the nerds . . . the beat offs and the and the crazies . . .

[Author’s note 2025: And that’s all that can be made from the tattered piece of paper, too bad because I was naming names. Over the tattered page. This is about the best I can get and I do remember the individuals named. It’s plain I had gained experience writing longer daily notes but also that Much of this was never intended to be published while I was still around. Whatever happened to these people I don’t know, but I do know now much later in life that if these people are remembered at all a couple decades from now It will be through their mention here. ]
