Best of Nothing

California, the department store state. The most of everything and the best of nothing. Here we go again. You're not human tonight, Marlowe.

I Drove on .......

I drove on to the Oxnard cutoff and turned back along the ocean. The big eight-wheelers and sixteen-wheelers were streaming north, all hung over with orange lights. On the right the great fat solid Pacific trudging into shore like a scrub woman going home. No moon, no fuss, hardly a sound of the surf.
