Oct. 17

Last night's dream...The Cheese sisters were on another road trip. They were driving a 1961 black Cadillac with the awesome fins. A small disco ball dangled from the rear view mirror. The sun was at just the right angle to cast discs of light on both sisters. Jack Cheddar was driving, Gouda was attempting to navigate but the only map was for Las Vegas and they weren't really in Las Vegas...they weren't sure where they were. They came upon a four way stop. Jack Cheddar stopped. The car idled. The sisters looked to the right, they looked straight ahead, they looked to the left. They looked straight ahead again. The car idled. Gouda got out of the car and opened the trunk. She took a hunk of Jarlsberg and a beer out of the cooler, she got back into the car, cracked the beer and took a long draw. She nibbled on the Jarlsberg and handed a little chunk to Jack Cheddar. Jack gnawed at the cheese and looked around. Then she opened the glove box and took out the Giant Tarot deck. She hummed as she shuffled and then she got out of the car and laid out a 10 card spread on the hood of the Caddy. The engine hummed under the cards. Gouda drank more of the beer and started to say something but stopped. She got out and looked at the Tarot spread. "Hey...all major arcana...you did that last time too..." Gouda said. Then she knocked back the last of the beer walked over to the side of the road and lay face down, spread eagle, on the ground. Jack Cheddar hummed. "More cheese!" Jack called to Gouda. Gouda got up, went to the trunk and retrieved a block of Havarti. They got back in the car. Gouda shared the cheese. "Havarti?" Jack verified. "The cards indicate a turn to the right is required." "Okay." replied Gouda. "I was thinking to turn right anyway, when we drove up to the stop sign." "Okay." replied Gouda. "Right should be right, know what I mean?" "Okay." replied Gouda. Jack Cheddar chewed more Havarti. "Okay." Gouda nodded with finality. Jack Cheddar put the car into gear, flicked the turn signal and turned left. "Okay." Gouda sighed. "You want to hear some music?" Jack asked. "Okay." replied Gouda. Jack rolled down the power windows and slammed on the gas.
