in search of Lost Wanderers

  Lohbado was sent on a small twin engine plane to bring back six lost wanderers from the Plains of Radiation. In a state of disorientation, or right brain swelling, they had walked away from the glass dome community of the OOO in the Cha Region of the Poh Valley.

Rocket Repair

Morono Man’s space ship had a damaged tail light. He sat down at the picnic table where Lohbado and Jane sat. The table was in a small grassy area overlooking the Lumpies Restaurant parking lot.

Catatonic Ray Gun

Morono Man suffered insomnia until he discovered the Catatonic Ray Gun. The gun comes with a timer. Place the gun on a tripod. Press the timed trigger, which allows ten seconds to get comfortable in bed. The gun fires a ray of drowsiness. One sleeps like a baby.

Arrested at Lumpies

Government agents raided Lumpies Donuts, while Lohbado was using the toilet, and arrested Marvin. Marvin had stolen a laptop computer from a Department of Standardization office. The computer contained case studies and recorded interviews. Lohbado wondered why anyone would steal such material, since it was mostly boring. He knew the contents of such files. The guy who stole it must have been nuts. That’s an occupational hazard. Sometimes the Drones crack. Drones specialized in organizing information, making it available to trainers and administrators.

be careful

This deer is quite safe, because its aware of dangers that threaten deer, such as hunters, freeways and pollution. This deer ran to a park and felt secure among cookies and picnic baskets.

Dr. Jane Wormsly in Winter

But receive me, my frensheets, from the emerald dark winterlong!
James Joyce, Finnegans Wake p. 603

I met Lohbado down at the Club Morono Tabernacle the other day. He started telling me all about Dr. Jane Wormsly, a worm specialist. I felt really tired and started daydreaming while he talked. It was pretty cold outside, a quiet cold day, nothing special. I refilled the cup of coffee and tried to concentrate on what Lohbado was telling me. A whole notion about numbers, Lohbado insisted on power in numbers. Yes, it helps to smile and be happy, even though one might sometimes feel sad. It was that kind of late January conversation. I tried to remember what Jane looked like. She's in her forties, brown hair, dark eyes. She also follows the Oogah clock on the wall in the green room where she uses various herbs to stimulate the worms.

Veteran of the Dome

As he prepared to go out for morning coffee, Lohbado knew he’d been exposed to radiation, but not enough to seriously damage his memory, the way it affected the OOO. The OOO experienced severe memory loss, which is why Lohbado was hired. He was hired as a Trainer, to teach the OOO what they needed to know in order to survive in post-apocalyptic society.
