The Working Writer's Screenplay

 

I begin March Windsor. Started off this morning, the doors were frozen, had to melt them, scared I'd have to use binder twine or something, but I didn't. Then WCSX Detroit. 85% of callers in favor of strong fines for misuse  American Flag. INTERSTATE 94 - Okay coming out of Detroit now. I'm just past the outskirts, getting into Dearborn, car seems to be moving effortless along, car seems to be effortless  along to the gas pedal, wheels aligned , rolling , almost be a new car. It was like this in 1977, same highway. same feeling. But we shall  see happens. Scared to say it's going good. At the beginning of the trip, it's like bad luck, like, like when you're flying and you say it's going. Nobody ever ever does that. 

Passing Detroit Metro Airport, reminds me of 1968, my cousin Bill was married. I spent about five or six hours with a girl at the airport, she was from Los Angeles. We waited for her flight, we talked about seven a.m. Never saw her again. Across the freeway, the Hilton where I stayed with Brenda, my ex-wife  on our wedding night. Traffic fairly heavy. Lots of traffic moving out with lots of things for America. It'll be  different in Iowa, where it's not as crowded. There'll be room to think on the highways whereas here, There'll be room to think on the highways whereas here you just concentrate all the time on the cars and trucks around.

About these roads - I remember Michigan roads are being all of the best, but right now they are in need of repair.  Potholls the size of Japanese cars. A load of new cars pass me, looking down at the old Camaro as they crowd together on a truck, heading for new homes. Someday they'll be driving along a road, much older than today, and a load of new cars will pass them. Once again, I will I have the opportunity to continue my study of shopping malls. I can smell them out now. They are great places to watch people, you learn about the community and it's people. Pass by a STUCKY'S, gas/candy/cafe which was a big deal once. And they're abandoned, grass growing. Worked in it's time  - but it doesn't seem to work now. The great thing about American freeways, in most states you can tell exactly by the mile post signs, as well as the exact by the mile posts as well as the exit numbers. Jackson Michigan - two things -- a prison and this is where the Republic Party was founded -- so there you go.

BUMPER STICKER - I LUV MY AMERICA car.
