Part 41: The Grin

....................................................................................................................................................................................

The grin
Remained for some time.
I've often seen a cat without a grin,
but a grin without a cat!
It's the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!

“Hey Boss...it’s time to wake up..your mono-wheel is ready” It was Trog. Oh good...he was through with the I-Dream-Of-Genie imitation.

That had been a really strange dream. I think. Oddly enough I didn’t remember any of it except for the Grin.

That cat grin again!

“Ok” I said aloud to Trog…”I’m UP. Let’s see that mono-wheel”

Happiness was seeing Cuba…in my rear view camera. Tragic place.

Oh well...it was getting better.

I’d rubbernecked like a tourist on the wharfs. It was being gentrified. No doubt soon they’d move the truck lots somewhere so as not to distress their delicate sensibilities. As it was, I got to see a lot of interesting scenery, drink a lot of good beer and smoke a lot of good Cuban Cigars. I’d acquired a crate to take with me.

They hadn’t cost me a dime. I’d traded my mono-wheel for them. It seems folks around there hadn’t seen one before. I traded it for the cigars and a ride back to the yard. I gave the guy a URL...he could either contract to have more mono-wheels printed from a 3d printing facility somewhere off island and have them tubed to him or he could get his own Printer.

He was happy.. Me....not so much....but...It’d been a long, long LONG time since I’d ridden in a ‘57 Chevy.

It was VERY EXCITING!
