Steve feels a certain melancholy wash over him. The others said they'd only be in town with the girls for a few days, and now it's been six months. "Ah, well," he thinks. "I'll always have my pith helmet, and my cirrhosis, and my memories..."

I can't tell you the precise date this fold-out was printed. I've driven or bused by the gardens' one-time locale a million times, but never saw them. They were torn down in 1968, twenty years before I ever set foot on the West Coast. Apartment buildings are in the space now.
