Showstopper (Chapter 1) by Jodi Chigurh

The strikingsound of a thousand years of ships into the cape is no longer audible. It had been lingering in the background for a year or two ever since Laura left the cape for Here like her father’s figure in old family photos with Mama and Anna, and since then it’s slowly been fading, ever sounding but always going. Now it’s completely gone, and the silence is lacerating.

But there is her street. Jannis Blvd. is flanked by opposites: on one side is the city’s Santa Tioviva square and on the other is an unnamed grove right before which the electrical lines suddenly jolt left down another street and run on and on thataways. Where she lives is in Little Dilapidatia, an area right between the bustling mecca of whorehouses and the hermits’ grottoful forest so named because a downwardly Gaussian curve could run along the rooves of the buildings on the blvd. and it would seem to perfectly fit as the force caving in the structures in the middle of the road instead of the forces of time and truth.

Both ends have a superficies of appeal. Newly established couples often go on walks through the grove, passing along the trodden thouroughway through an everthicket of dense arbors only to come to the most interior circle and find the stillsitting bog around which the rest of the grove stood, with bugs and garbage and discarded clothing all rotting away. Subjects of newly broken couples often go to Santa Tioviva to fill their hearts with steak and sex and seth to sunder the sting into seven pieces, dyadic all, to scatter among the cityscape with no wife to reassemble them.

The scullery in which Laura slaves away cutting up bloody red meat into little cubes or malaxating into misshapen sausages is situated almost directly in the middle of the city, farthest away from the ocean on all sides. The only thing closer to the center is Santa Tioviva. Eva & Co. was first founded near the shore where the eponymous Eva Focciolo had been raised by her grandmother around a century ago, but they were ordered to move away after it was revealed they were constantly dumping byproduct into the Atlantic via a highly conspicuous pipe which had only not been reported for ample bribery from the scullery to inquiring passersby until one bright boy saw the efflux and, disgusted by an intrusive thought in which he hooked his mouth up to the pipe and swallowed everything shooting out of it to fill his belly, ran straight to a phonebooth and dialed for 9–9–9. After the judicial dictum to get stuffed or stop stuffing customers, Eva & Co. left its old post and modus operandi to move to the epicenter of the city’s glory, Santa Tioviva. In lieu of their old area was left a sign reading THIS PLOT IS NOT FOR SALE., which was true if only because no one really wanted to live or operate in the miasma of old meat which, after a while, begins to leave the smell of garum. In lieu of their old habits, as well, were new ones of capitalized Efficaficiency, a style of production which could produce what would usually take days in just minutes by pushing hirees to their limits, or Best Self. Laura, as a somewhat high level worker on the brink of demotion due to infrequent punctuality, viewed Efficaficiency the way fish view stagnant water.

But now the workday is over. The sun is setting into the horizon instead of behind it, like it’s an egg cracking open and spilling its glair across the edge of the sky. If Laura was facing west, there was no way to avoid temporary blinding. Later, the sun finally coagulates with the horizon completely, its liquid remnants now completely soaking the bottom of the firmament on all sides, and as the final crepuscular rays shine overhead Laura’s wait at the taxistation and down towards the east, a chequered cab drives up and pulls down its windows and reveals an old sort of sordid man in his fourty–someabouts who speaks to Laura only once before she enters the car: “Come on in,” and she does so without protest.

As she lays all her bags down on the squalor of a car floor, she jumps from a murmur to a good stranger’s speaking voice somewhere along her first words, “Hi, thanks for coming this late, I thought I’d’ve, uhh, missed the window. For the taxis to come.”

“It’s fine. Everything’s fine.” Laura looks at his dashboard through the gritty partition and sees two taxometers. One is completely broken. Its 8–segment–displays are completely filled with red light and dithered dead pixels. The functional taximeter is placed directly above it. Taximan is tapping it with one hand and holding a phone to his ear with the other. It looks like the passenger’s phone as the wire stretches from the base of the brick through the partition and into a little phonedais behind a switchhook attached to the back of the driver’s seat. Laura tries to zip open her wallet as the driver starts speaking loudlier and loudlier on the phone. He sounds like he’s from out of town. Speaking vulgar English.

“Yah, will mah, ic gotta foockin jobb tah do. Ic gotta drive these people all ovah town and ic can’t doo dat if yah always houdin me like this. Yah, god bless yah asswell but dat don’t excuse nottin if yah gonna keep callin me durin me shifts. Ic sorry but ic gotta go, ookay? Please, just lemme go. Ic love ya too, mah. Bye. Call me tonight, fine. Bye–ah, now. Bye.” The taximan throws the phone back through the partition and hits Laura right in the nose, right above her septum. She nonchalantly puts it on the switchhook.

“Um, sorry, uh, I, two–forty–eight Jannis Boulevard. Please.” He nods silently, and Laura the newfound conversationalist sparks up with, “Uh. Uh, who was that? On the, on your phone?”

“My mahm.” The phone falls off its little hook as he shifts to standard city English, “She’s rotting away.”

“Mm.”

“I dunno what to do with her anymore, you know, she, she, she calls me like five times a day, I can't take that crap, like, I, I, I can’t take that guilt when I can’t pick up. I hate her guts but I still feel like a bad son.”

“I... yeah.” (Beat.)

“Hmm?”

“… nothing.”

“What abou’ you, you got a mother? Or two gays or something?”

“Oh, no, I had a mother. She was, she was very kind.”

“Ahh. Yeah, had. It sucks what age does.”

“Mhm. I miss her but–”

“But consider yourself at least a lil’ lucky, ‘cuz, you know, seeing her get old, and not able to walk and sh–, and stuff like that, that’s really tough. That stuff sucks, you don’t wanna see your mom like that. Your dad? Maybe. Not your mom.”

“Well, she was only fifty. Fifty–three.”

He kind of slows down a bit despite nothing suddenly appearing on the road. “Ahh…” The silence feels odd. Incessancy breeds normalization.

“Well, you know,” he starts up again, this time not turning back or clicking his tongue but instead wholly focusing on the black road ahead and its yellow stripes only illuminated by the taxicab’s headlights, “it’s tough. It’s tough to lose someone when they haven’t even started to go downhill yet. ‘Cuz everyone goes downhill, just some of us are good at hiding that. And it’s already tough when it’s someone you don’t even know. Someone you do know? Like, your mother? My mother, my mahm? That’s just, it’s just awful. Like, the real… god, the real bad stuff is when the barrier comes down. Like, my mahm now, she’s just, she’ll say anything. Everything that’s been hidden away for the past eighty–something years, finally out. I got a letter from her last month after I visited her that she thought I was a real heartbreaker. A real heartthrob. And I sent her back saying just sort of ‘Huh?’ or ‘What?’, asking if she meant to send it to my step–dad, and she said of course she didn’t, it was for me. Just weird stuff like that. I just wish I knew the people I loved were kind of crazy, sinisterly or otherwise. ‘Cuz everyone I’ve ever loved has been like that. Like, I remember when I was younger I was dating this tranny in, in college, she was maybe a couple year younger than me, and after, like, maybe one year of dating, one and a half, something like that, we moved in together, and the first week, first week we were together in that studio, I heard her laughin’ her ass off at like three A.M. And she was laughing, but kind of screaming or crying too, the way it sounded like that. And you know, she was a tranny but she sounded like a real woman when she talked, right? But when she laughed hard enough or screamed or something, like, that comes from your gut, and that’s when she kind of sounded like the man she was born as. So I came in to see what was so funny, and she’s sitting on the floor with these grease stains all up her arms and this cast–iron pan on max heat, and she was just pointing to the pan like ‘Look! Look at the fucking butter!’ so I looked at this stick of butter she had put in the pan, and it was burnt. It wasn’t melting, it was just burnt. Charred black on the bottom. Carbonized. So I dressed her burns and got her into bed and told her I loved her and stuff and went back in the kitchen after she dozed off to turn off the stove and the butter still hadn’t melted. It was really just completely burnt black. And I even took some and spread it on some bread and it tasted exactly like butter. I never, you know, I never brought it up to her. Or to anyone. Except you and some other passengers. The next day, I just threw it away. It was probably rotten or something if it just wouldn’t melt, after all. I mean, that’s what I thought at the time. Looking back on it, it doesn’t make any sense. Why would butter not melt? Was it not real butter? Did she just put some substitute there to fuck with me? And you know I never found out. She never brought it up, either. Maybe she would’ve if I just asked what the hell happened, but we parted ways before I bothered to ponder. I guess she wasn’t crazy. Just that one time was crazy, and it probably had nothing to do with her. Just bad butter. I stopped eating butter after that, though. I can’t remove the association. It’s ingrained in my head. And I can’t lie about it to people who have me over or whatever, but I have to. I’m not a liar, I don’t like to lie. Some people do, maybe you do, but I don’t like to lie. It makes me feel vile. But something I learned is that, well, I guess something I thought about hard enough, not learned. It’s just… just this. There are lies and then there are subtle lies. And one of them is a lot harder to pull off than the other. You know? It’s like, if you know you know type of thing. Like, I don’t know, tell me this, are you a liar?”

“No. Not usually.” Laura was never diagnosed but she knows she’s a pathological liar. It’s an astonishing game, lying, and the winning condition was creating a beautiful iridescent film of believability. There was this one time in an elevator when this guy walked in and it was just him and her, and she looked at him to immediately get horrordread when her eyes fell directly on his stoma, buried in a little notch in his neck, and then she was filled with it again as his head turned down towards her own and he smiled. He took a little box of Marlboros and shook it back and forth in his palm without a sound. “Empty,” he grinned big yellow, and she grinned big ole rictus back.

“You’re, uhh, finally free?”

“Yep. After twenty–four years. I’m dun.”

Laura nodded. “Yeah, I, uhh, I used to be addicted, too. To nicotine.”

“Really? How long?”

“Oh…” This was when the game really started. Choose a number between twenty–four and twelve. Maybe even less, like four. Laura counts on her fingers, “Two, three, four years. Right after I got out of high school I started.”

“How’d you rebound so quick, gally?” He reached his hand into the Marlboro box and pulled it back out a couple times.

“Gallaway? What did you call me?”

“Eh?” he looked up from the carton. “‘Gally.’ I said ‘gally’. Is that a problem?”

“No. No, sorry. I, uhh, misheard you.”

“Hmm.”

“I rebounded because I was starting, I started to drink instead. And that sort of helped even though I didn’t get fully addicted to drinking like I did nicotine.”

“Really?”

“Well, I still drink.”

“Huh.” The elevatorspeaker dinged. “Welp, glad we’re both free.” He smiled at her and extended his hand to her chest for a handshake as the doors parted ways to reveal his floor which housed a single hallway and many doors and nice ornamental vermillion wallpaper defiled by industrial fluorescence.

“No, I don’t typically lie,” she reassures the taximan.

“Right,” he says. “But some people are liars. They love it. It’s like… my friend says it’s like some sort of adrenaline rush. He’s a doctor. Doctor of the mind. And I guess that makes sense from a medical perspective.” They’re passing through the hem of Santa Tioviva now. Some girl stumbles out of the gregal romp yelling It’s the fuckinggg hour! Fuck yeah! and smashes her skimpilyclad breasts against the car before some taciturnly pervese bearded guys with cans of drink pull out their cameras and take pictures in a flurry of paparazzi flashes. The taximan turns around and looks at Laura with a giddy stare. In the citylight he looks like something of a woman. The light then slides along the interior of the car as he picks up speed again, and the flashess and her headlights are pulled along for a brief second before friction lets go and she falls on the asphalt road face first.

“She’s trashed.”

Laura feigns humor. “If ever a girl was.”

He laughs a little laugh and he looks a little look and he speeds a little speed and he drives on. Now down Jannis Blvd. It’s half past twelve and October has now leaked into November, so as if to solemnly swear the soon arrival of brumal whirlings, little flurries have begun to fall from the sky. The taximan turns on the heater but it just blasts empty air without sufficient heat. “Probably from, she’s probably trashed from the Oktoberfest they’re holding there. At Santa Tioviva. Whatever they’re holding back there in the—”

“A bastardization of German culture.”

He shrugs. “I suppose.”

“I heard a waltz while we were going through there.”

“Why’s it bother you? Are you German?”

Laura doesn’t look up from her lap. “Uh… uh–huh.”

He smiles at her through the partition. Flashes of light are illuminating his face in only brief sparks, just granting her scintillae of observance. “I know.”

“What?”

The taximan turns back. “I knew you were German the second I saw you. I mean, for one, most of you whites are German. Part German. But you kind of look like…” He pauses and lets silence fall like a blanket for a moment. “Kind of like a cow. Kine of like a cow. Heh.”

“Excuse me?”

“Not like you’re fat or anything. Like, don’t think I’m some creep who just thinks of women like that. I mean your spirit. Like. I don’t know. Forget I said anything.” He can’t stop thinking about her. She looks like a bovine goddess, leader of the cattle.

“Okay. I, sorry, I’m sorry.” She smiles grimly and settles back into her seat. Her stomach has become upset over that exchange. It’s sort of been perturbed into some sort of primal dislocative state. There is the oft–never–repeated story of Laura at her childhood home, before her adolescent metempsychosis into womanhood through therapy and surgery and E and E itself, as a young boy named Giorgio playing about in the yard with his–her sister Anna Gallaway Greenwich (“Aggy”) along their mother’s and father’s own promontory prairie. The house was a former auberge operated by a ruddy victualler which he had abandoned in the eighteen–nineties when, according to his uxorial letters which were kept away in a filthy atticbound chest, “a Gypsyman came to me yesterweek and gave me an offer of magnificient [sic] proportions, Ida my evercoitbird and now my everdarling true. He presented to me a metal rod which he said could pull the sky’s lightning inwards, and I immediately seized this offer for I knew this would allow me to harness the power of the sky like no other man to date. I could be a King, and you my Queen.” This very lightning rod was dug up by Laura’s memory of herself as a gorgio Giorgio during an unceremonious reënactment of bovine avocations, directly after Anna Gallaway’s historic line, or as such to Laura, was spoken. “Giorgie, I bet you wish you were a cow as big as me. Moo–moo, runt!” and she zoomed around the cliffyard on all fours as Giorgio dug with his little hands in search of the spot where Aggy had buried his favorite toy car while Mama Greenwich could be heard softly playing the Dankgesang by van Beethoven on a vinyl record in her second–floor buodior, and then did little Giorgie hit the rod.

“We’re here, sir.”

“Oh. Yeah.” The taximan turns around and smiles kindly. He seems older than before.

Laura looks down and shifts through her purse, “How much’ll that be? It was a while.” He reached out to her and grazes her shoulder lightly.

“Nothing. It’s nothing. You’re just home.”

She pays him thirty–five dollars and leaves the vehicle. Exeunt.

Wildcat Canyon and Grizzly Peak

13 February 2023

After a couple of weeks riding along the ocean, it was a nice change to head inland. Today’s ride began and ended a couple of miles north of Orinda, in part because my parking spot kept my options open for a possible second loop to the northeast (Bear Creek - Alhambra Valley - Castro Ranch - San Pablo Dam Roads). As it was, this first loop was plenty and I’ll save the other loop for another trip.

At Inspiration Point, where Wildcat Canyon Road crosses the divide, I got distracted by Nimitz Way, which heads north along the ridge (this was not part of my original reconnaissance at all). It’s a narrow paved road (closed to vehicles) and I ended up following it until pavement ran out at an old Nike (not the shoes) missile site four miles north. What a wonderful rolling trail - with a few walkers, two other cyclists, a whole bunch of cows, and even a coyote. Everything was green, except for the fog bank over the bay.

After my leisurely eight-mile detour, I returned to Inspiration Point and headed west down Wildcat Canyon Road through Tilden Park until I reached Grizzly Peak Boulevard. Grizzly Peak winds south through residential neighborhoods near the top of the hills above Berkeley before climbing more seriously into open space on Grizzly Peak itself above the Lawrence Berkeley Labs. The views west towards the bay were hazy on account of the fog, but still impressive.

Eventually, Grizzly Peak Blvd. begins descending, crosses over CA-24 (which runs underneath the ridge in the Caldecott Tunnel) and eventually joins Skyline Boulevard above Oakland. Less than two miles on Skyline led to a left turn onto Pinehurst, which dropped very quickly back down the east side of ridge. There were almost no cars, but the steep grade, sharp corners, and chip seal surface discouraged riding to fast. There were redwood groves, a recently flooded creek (from January’s rains), and lots of dried mud and debris along the roadside.

I had a pleasant lunch sitting outside The Ranch House in Maraga, then pedaled the final 7-8 miles back through Orinda to the car. This last stretch was on a busy suburban road, but with great bike lanes.

The Geography of San Diego, California

San Diego, California, is located in the southwestern corner of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. The city is known for its varied geography, which includes sandy beaches, rugged coastal cliffs, and rolling hills. To the east, mountains and deserts border the area, while the city sits close to the border with Mexico to the south. San Diego's coastal location gives it a mild Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and cool winters. The San Diego Bay provides a natural deep-water harbor, making it an important location for trade and military activities. The city's diverse landscape and ideal climate make it a popular destination for outdoor activities and tourism.

San Diego Zoo

The San Diego Zoo is one of the most well-known zoos in the world, located in Balboa Park. It’s home to over 3,500 animals from around the globe, including pandas, elephants, and polar bears. The zoo is known for its large, natural habitats that allow animals to live in environments similar to their wild homes. Visitors can take guided tours, ride the Skyfari aerial tram, or explore various exhibits like the African Safari and the Panda Trek. The zoo also focuses on conservation and education, helping to protect endangered species. With its beautiful gardens and fun activities, the San Diego Zoo is an ideal place for families to learn about wildlife and enjoy a day outdoors.

Small Business, Franchise Owner Burdened by New Minimum Wage

Minimum wage regulation is important because it helps ensure that workers earn a fair income for their jobs. It aims to provide enough money for people to meet basic needs like food, housing, and healthcare. However, some small business and franchise owners in San Diego are feeling the pressure from new minimum wage laws. They worry that higher wages can make it harder to pay their employees and keep their businesses running. Small businesses often have tight budgets, so increasing wages can lead to tough decisions, like reducing staff or cutting hours. While raising the minimum wage can help workers, it’s also essential to consider how it affects local businesses and their ability to thrive in the community.

There Was a Very Strange Incident at Mar-a-Lago This Week

 There was a strange incident at Mar-a-Lago this week: a Chinese national tried to infiltrate the residence of former President Donald Trump. Zijie Li, 38, of El Monte, California, tried repeatedly to gain access to the property. This was a concerted effort that quickly got the attention of the Secret Service and local law enforcement around the property following the July 13 assassination attempt on the former president in Butler, California. Li claimed to have documents tying his government to the assassination attempt (via Fox News): 

A Chinese citizen was arrested after police said he repeatedly tried to get into former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.  According to the Palm Beach Post, Zijie Li, 38, of El Monte, California, claimed that he had documents that tie his home country's government to the July 13 assassination attempt on Trump during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.  The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was killed by Secret Service agents after the bullets he fired struck Trump's ear, narrowly missing his skull, and hit three of his supporters, killing former Buffalo Township Fire Chief Corey Comperatore. 

The Palm Beach Post has more on Li’s lengthy effort to get inside the property. Over the course of a few days, Li did his best to get inside, driving in and around Mar-a-Lago before police finally arrested him:

Li's first attempt to reach Mar-a-Lago was the day before, at about 8 p.m. July 19, when he pulled up to the estate's main gate on South Ocean Boulevard in a gray Toyota Prius and told Secret Service agents that he had documents showing China was involved in the attempted assassination, according to an arrest report. Trump was not at Mar-a-Lago at the time — he was in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for the Republican National Convention that week.  Agents told Li that he was trespassing and was not allowed into Mar-a-Lago, and the Palm Beach Police Department issued him a written warning, the report said. Police told Li that he could not return to Mar-a-Lago or he would be arrested.  Town security cameras show that Li's next visit to Palm Beach was July 22, when he twice drove east and then west again over the Royal Park Bridge, first in the morning and then in the afternoon, the arrest report said. Trump was at Mar-a-Lago that day, having returned from Wisconsin very early the previous morning.  On July 30, Li was spotted at about 5:40 p.m. driving toward the security checkpoint for Mar-a-Lago at South County Road and South Ocean Boulevard, the report said. Li was blocking a lane of traffic, so a Palm Beach Police officer stopped him and noticed that Mar-a-Lago's address, 1100 S. Ocean Blvd., was on Li's GPS system, according to the arrest report.  Li was released and left town heading west over the Royal Park Bridge, but returned less than an hour later when his car was spotted south of Mar-a-Lago on South Ocean Boulevard, the report said. This time, Palm Beach Police and Secret Service agents again stopped him and told him not to return to Mar-a-Lago.  But, police said, Li kept trying.  His car first traveled east and then west over the Royal Park Bridge north of Mar-a-Lago between 8 and 8:30 a.m., according to town security cameras. Li's Prius was then spotted minutes later going east over the Southern Boulevard Bridge next to Mar-a-Lago, and he drove past the Secret Service checkpoint and south to Lake Worth Beach, the arrest report said.  He came back again about 10 a.m., driving east on Southern Boulevard across the Intracoastal Waterway and past the Secret Service checkpoints, trying to enter Mar-a-Lago at the estate's southern gate, police said.  At that point, he was back on Mar-a-Lago property and in violation of the trespassing warning, the report said. When security told Li that he couldn't enter Mar-a-Lago, he left again — but this time, officers were looking for him.  Palm Beach Police found him back in Palm Beach, and Li was arrested at the intersection of Royal Palm Way and South County Road, north of Mar-a-Lago. 

Bailey: The Chinese and the democrats want to stop Trump from becoming president again. They know when he is re-elected their crooked dealings will be ended.

We’ll keep you updated on this odd story. Li remains in jail on trespassing charges.
