Anyway, okay. Do you mind if I just on the Alvy Ray Smith? Because Alvy Ray Smith arrives at Park. And do you mind if I just read out loud the two paragraphs from that chapter from dealers of lightning?

Sure enough, the machine hit Smith like a lightning bolt between the eyes. He came in the door and got completely entranced, Schaup remembered. He just deep-ended right into it. The next several days and nights, the bewitched artist scarcely left the lab for more than an hour or two at a time. I realized this is what I had come to California for, Smith recalled.
