(2:00 PM 6/23/1972)
Busy busy busy. I got up at about 9:00. Mom came by with the car at 12:30, I drove her to work, went to the Coin-Op to get gas (tank was empty), then drove to Timothy's to get my annual finally -- I was the only one in the Senior class of '72 who wasn't wearing a jacket and tie. The picture of us overthrowing Tim was in it, on page 127 -- I think we overthrew him just before X-mas vacation. Tim wrote a long speech inside the front cover -- he was the only one to sign it.
I went from Tim's to a gas station to put in water (the car was overheating and acting funny) -- but it already had enough water, and the gage continued to register Hot. So to give the car a chance to calm down I went to get a haircut. Now I'm beautiful again. The car was still sick, so I just bought some stuff at Sav-on (film, notebooks, cartridges, Mad), then drove home to give Imperial a rest.
Am now on page 125 in the Prob. Man ("Now" is 2:09:16, Fri.). Went to get mom at 4:00, then we went to get my glasses from Silver, but they weren't ready yet (Humbug -- mom called him and they said we could pick them up) -- We left there, went to the Golden Chicken to buy food, then drove to Grant's where I bought a duffel bag -- cheaper than luggage. I forgot, between Sav-on, and going home, I put in my Amerco Ind check at Mariner's, so I now have $103.03. Did other stuff today, but that's enough said for now -- got to sleep at around 12:30 --- [continued in next entry - June 23]
Grady -- Whatta coulda I tella you?!?
Four years in this dump & I'm finally free to go out into the world (OCC [Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, CA] for one year & then to UCLA.) Whether I'm a success or failure only time will tell. I don't really blame you for not attending Harbor too often... I know from my own experience that 85.06283% of what I've learned has been out of school.
I still don't know if I'll go to that science fiction deally as I'm flat broke -- I feel like Welfare Boy right now.
You should get Mary-Baby (Lyons) to sign your book fer yuz. She & I agreed that you'll get along quite well in the world of robots, man-eating critters & post-nasal drip (in other words, science fiction).
I feel most awkward as having been the only one to sign your year-book so far...
I guess I'll sign off for now & wish you the traditional success, best wishes, luck, you-name-it, etc.
