Before the ferry left to take me across the bay to Campbell River the next morning, I stopped by the Credit Union at the docks and opened up an account. I gave them twenty-five dollars. They gave me a set of blank checks, a couple of brochures the same color as a twentydollar bill, and a smile from the manager. I took one of their pens as a souvenir and spurred the Vespa onto the ferry just before the gates went down. Dr. Blanche saw me for ten minutes and said I looked good. I told him about the voices and he increased the dose to 60 cc. I moseyed on over to the Orthopedics clinic and asked about Samir"s surgery. They said he was still on the wait list. Figures. On the ferry on the way home, I bought a salmon filet sandwich, ditched the fries, and drank a bottle of Diet un-cola pop. Mar
