The Straight Road Continues =>
….In The Distance We See The Water Tower Of The Nest Town.

….[[The Narrator is deep in thought as he explains the hierarchies of the mechanics mind as he seeks the underlying form. Then suddenly, the horror of a head-on collision! => ]]
….’[ ".... A car with a trailer coming our way is passing and having trouble getting back into his lane. I flash my headlight to make sure he sees us. He sees us but he can’t get back in.

….[ “The shoulder is narrow and bumpy. It’ll spill us if we take it. I’m braking, honking, flashing. Christ Almighty, he panics and heads for our shoulder! I hold steady to the edge of the road. Here he COMES! At the last moment he goes back and misses us by inches. “ ]

Old US-10, one mile to Hysham, MT. In the ZMM Narratives given in this series of photos, the student of ZMM should here note that our Author has abruptly transitioned (switched)
..A) From > A routine discussion what a motorcycle mechanic is doing to trouble shoot => “knowledge of the faulty motorcycle ” [with mechanic] “ looking at underlying form.. ” with cycle’s urgent need to be fixed
..B) Suddenly Abrupt Switch To > The Narrator’s “terror producing near accident” Here he COMES! At the last moment he goes back and misses us by inches. “, , and ending Chapter 9 with how he, Chris & Sutherlands "order every kind of snack they’ve got".
