The setting sun shining beneath a boiling smoke-colored ceiling
of a thunderhead gives a strange gilded lighting to these grazing
lands of New Zealand. A bright-eyed young boy comes running through
the field.
"Wendy, Wendy!"
A raven-hair maiden steps out onto the porch of the cottage, her
hair blowing in the wind before the oncoming storm.
"Joey?"
"Yes. . . . Are you Wendy?"
Meanwhile, in a small mining community in Idaho; Roo-man, sweat
pouring down his face:
"If only (pant) I could (pant) make the calc program look like
any other program!" Roo-man sat back on his haunches. "Even in my
alternate form I don't seem to be able to come up with a different
way of doing this. If calcprog becomes pointer allocated then it
acquires new VPA entries. If at this point environmental allocation
fails then the new VPA entries must be destroyed. All these special
cases! I'm glad that I sent Joey off to New Zealand."
