Forwarded message: Subject: Update on Jim Date: Thu, 17 Sep 1998 I spoke with Jim last night. He had been "in the hole", as he calls it, for almost 7 days. This is when he is placed in a cell by himself on a different floor and is not allowed out of it (they bring his food to him, instead of his going to the cafeteria, and can't go out to the social area - to play pool, for instance). He said it was because he had remarked to a warden that she had the ugliest voice in the whole world, after she repeatedly told the inmates to clean up their rooms even though they had complied repeatedly to her demands. (I asked him if he had spent the time reading Atlas Shrugged, and he said he'd done that a bit. I don't think he's much interested in railroads, taking quite some time to get through it, although he told me he's a fast reader). Anyway last night his things had been packed and he expected to be shipped to Oklahoma City this morning. He will be there anywhere from half a day to two days and then be sent on to Springfield, MO for the mental eval. Perhaps he will meet up with Toto there. [End forward] JYA: If it's not been mentioned here CJ was in transit to Springfield over the weekend, being held for unknown reasons in OKC from where he called a fan who passed on the news. He's in good spirits. And Jim is reported to be in good spirits. So it's all worked out, their notoriety a tonic for tired blood, try it, depressives. Both are sassing the jailers, getting railroaded to OKC and Springfield for a bit of mind-bending and -straightening. Are they fit to stand trial, oh yeah, do it, the snakes of Medusa. No one knows what the OKC stopover for Jim or CJ is about, maybe to introduce them to each other (Jim claims to not know CJ -- smart), maybe to kick dirt on the homeplate of Murrah Memorial, get image-counseled by Anita Hill. Jim and CJ in Springfield at the same time, getting heavy mentaled, wordsmith assassination duelers. Now that's a Teen Spirit I'd like to smell. Remember, Music Capital Branson is just down the road from Springfield if cpunks want to gather to banjo code duel.
