Spoilers ahead. Don't keep reading unless you've gotten to the airport. I need a very small hint for Bureaucracy. In don't want you to give me the answer. That would ruin the fun. I just want you to tell me the right place to look. I can't get out of my home town. I need to get to the airport. I can get in the taxi, and he'll take me to the airport, but I don't have any cash to pay him. I can't get anything out of the bank. This is what I've done so far: Gotten assorted mail with little stickers (B, C, and D), from the mansion, the paranoid, and the stamp collector. Eaten a burger (but not paid for it). Fed the llama (but it didn't help anything). Got the airplane ticket (Californians are NOT like that). Gotten the recipie cartridge (do I cook the llama later? why? don't answer that). Learned exactly nothing with the phone. Bought nothing from the nerd. Etc., etc. I figure that I need to get that check that is coming to me, but it never arrives. The call to the people who should have sent it gets me nowhere fast. Once I get the check, I can take it to the bank and cash it, to pay the taxi driver and get out at the airport, but I can't get the check. Don't tell me exactly how to do that. Just give me an area to keep looking, so I don't waste time in the wrong place. Something like "keep trying with the phone", or "the llama will get you there" would be adequate. Please use E-MAIL. I don't follow this group. By the way, why is it that Brits misspell "jail" as "gaol", anyway? You'd think they invented the language! -Dan Dan Zerkle zerkle@iris.ucdavis.edu (916) 754-0240 Amiga...
