Better Than You, Daily. A little something to read. The world is a scary place. So Thomas Pynchon and I are hunting lizards out in the desert just north of the air strip here at Al Salem, Kuwait. We're still inside the perimeter.
Guard towers are visible in the distance.
It's nearing 1700, the sun is lowering and mellowing, huge and gold on the horizon. The air is growing cool, soft. This is the best part of the day. The yellow lizards stand outside their holes with their heads up, casting long shadows. They're the size of small dogs.
