Pynchon may not be as stupid as that. Has anyone gone to check up on Mr. Vineland lately? Perhaps the address in the DMV computer is that of a fried chicken franchise in Lost Hills, CA! Just cause you have some data doesn't mean it's useful.
Yes, I did. The point of getting the address is because I discovered he lived in Aptos, CA, same as I do. (My source saw my W.A.S.T.E. reference and assumed I was merely making a joke....he was surprised to learn I actually live in Aptos, and then volunteered the NLETS record.) His house was (rumors that he's been back on the East Coast for the past couple of years) about 3-4 miles from my house, less as the crow flies. I shot a dozen or so photos of the house and surrounding countryside, for my scrapbook and for that of the source. Not a fried chicken stand. --Tim May -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
