► going out into the garden and finding the tomatoes have begun to redden (recurring); sometimes there are also big peppers, red and green
► throwing Seth a surprise birthday party/show at the nonexistent home of an acquaintance with the help of my high school best friend Carrie; the town alternated between feeling like Lawrence and feeling like another small town near where I grew up
► getting my car fixed at a shop where the four mechanics were siblings - two sisters and two brothers; they all had multicolored hair and looked like cyberpunks; one sister left a window partway down in the rain, but showed me the little mechanism she had repaired (it looked like she’d fixed it with a grosgrain belt); one brother asked me about the public library and the odds that he could successfully stay there overnight (I told him there was a good chance, if he was resourceful), and then declined my payment for fixing my car
