Lane von Herzen: Jokson Larios of Bayshore Plumbers

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Please note: This documentation is being posted from the FedEx Store on El Camino Real in Mountain View.

I left my home at 10:52 AM this morning due solely to the fact that my internet access was blocked, apparently by close-range signal jamming.

I initially experienced close vehicle tracking by a black Toyota sedan with California plates 7LMM975, the numbers of which were largely blocked from view by a large Thule bike rack. When I stopped on the shoulder of Ramona Rd., the black Toyota also stopped, although it was ahead of me. When I proceeded, the driver proceeded.

As a result, I waited at the top of Los Trancos Road until the path seemed clear.

After that, I traveled to the Portola Valley Public Library. On parking in a secluded area at the back of the building, I encountered five Woodside Fire Prevention District employees, who were waiting by two large Fire Department vehicles and a wood chipper. These men were utterly unoccupied. There was no wood for them to chip. They were simply standing idle, watching my vehicle come to a stop. Given the number of men, and the fact that they appeared to be completely unoccupied, with no prospect of legitimate work in sight, I left the Library parking lot and traveled to this Fed Ex location.

I will be traveling home directly from here.

I hereby certify that the foregoing is true and correct.

Lane MacWilliams
