Threads, the original kind, either wind in tight spirals around a spool, unwind in same from a bobbin, and go up and down, sometimes sideways too, and often back and forth. For me, returning a thread to its titular point (let's call it a *nipple*, shall we?) is simply an invitation for new departure from same. Like Belushi hollering FOOD FIGHT!

Also they are both savants of somesorts, not unheard of in gib's stories, as few previously mentioned characters in this thread.
I've had no access to wonderland of interweb for three weeks and some. Been working a real job, no cut hair yet.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed -- I couldn't find it anywhere.
At the end of Chapter 82, Tito says, "That's him." And the old man answers, "Yes, it is." They are talking about the driver of the tractor-truck hauling the turquoise container out of the city.
Who was it?? Somehow I missed that.
Thanks!

I believe it was Brown; Milgrim's captor\goon. I'm prepared to be wrong about that since I can't verify it.
