Old People in Hawaii

Old people on the bus with their 40 something minders. One guy's name is "Bill." He must be in his 80s. He's got a tattoo, but you can't tell what it once was. He's really skinny, but was probably a looker in his time...maybe a colonel in the USMC...hero in WWII.

But now he looks confused...keeps checking his pocket for change or something. I wonder what he's thinking. I wonder if he's drugged. Wonder what he's feeling as his minder yells "Not yet, Bill. Just relax. We've got a long way to go still." I wonder if I can create a diversion so that he can escape at the next stop.

Worn Out

Worn out people...killing themselves to stay young.

Beat the Street

Beat the street. I hate this place. Wanna go home. "Go home!" Tokyo screams. And my head is exploding, and I can't find any cheap food.

Construction

At a FEW meeting Alex Kerr says that 40% of the national budget of Japan is spent on construction and that 12% of the work force of Japan is directly involved in construction. No wonder Ken's so pissed off about the construction going on all around him.
