Steinbeck

I love Steinbeck and the short story "Johnny Bear" came up, I was hoping to link to a copy but I suppose this would explain that difficulty.

I would go to the wax musuem.

"The Snake" in that collection featured "Doc," a character based on Steinbeck's friend Ed Ricketts, though to what degree depends on what you read. Here is a link to a 2003 NPR piece on Mr. Ricketts. A 360 panorama of the Ricketts Memorial.

He was adjusting the small engine on that device when he became groggy and tried to sit down for a spell...What are you implying?
