Found Bill

            I found out what happened to Bill the smog guru. I went to his shop once more before asking my friend Jessie Sweet to contact Norman a mutual friend of Jessie’s and Bill’s, to ask if he had heard of anything about him. Norman is in the music business, or was, I’m not sure.

            Sure enough, the smog guru is in the hospital with gastro intestinal problems. He had a removal of parts and a resection of others. Norman asked Bill if he could visit him in the hospital, but Bill declined. The smog guru is a private man, even in ill health. 

            I received a text from Bill in response to my “Are you alive?” text. It read, “barely, should be out early next week.”

            I sent him a text back, “did you see the pearly gates?”

            He sent back, “grizzly details to follow.”
