NEW YEAR

There was nothing in the notebook to give any kind of clue where the little green truck was. Sometime between the last notice of it on the carousel and now, it disappeared. One thing the notebook did make clear, though, was how valuable that little toy truck is. You could buy an island along with a Gulfstream and a staff of 10 and still have enough left over to provide every person on the planet under 10 years of age with an iPad. So where did all this worth come from? Oh, maybe the obvious - it was Greta Garbo's sex toy and her DNA is present to verify that peculiarity. But the real reason for the off-the-chart price it would render in auction is the source of the green color. It is little known but so verifiable that Orville Wright made the first flight in Kitty Hawk not because he and Wilbur used an aerodynamic design but because he added to the fuel tank a green liquid that he obtained from a meteorite that he broke open in the bicycle shop and it actually made their aircraft lighter than the materials used to make it. It has mystified scientists for over a hundred years and has never been duplicated. But screw the location of the truck - today someone radiant and cherished is blowing ... . the candles out on her cake. Hasten Jason get the basin, plop-plop get the mop.
