10:06 am	@@@@@ Of all the stories, maybe the strangest was @@@@@ Of all the stories, maybe the strangest was that of Kearney Jaffords of New Jersey, a child born 189 without armsShortly after his thirteenth birthday, this formerly well-adjusted handicapped child became hysterical, insisting to his parents that his arms were "hurting and buried on a farm He said he could show them whereThey drove two days, finishing up on a dirt road in Iowa, somewhere between Nowhere and Nowhere in ParticularThe kid led them into a cornfield, took a sighting on a nearby barn with a MAIL POUCH advertisement on the roof, and insisted that they digThe parents did, not because they expected to find anything but because they hoped to set the child's mind and body at rest againThree feet down they found two skeletonsOne was a female child between twelve and fifteenThe other was a man, age undeterminedThe Adair County Coroner estimated these bodies had been in the ground approximately twelve yearsbut of course it could have been thirteen, which was the span of Kearney Jaffords's lifeNeither body was ever identifiedThe arms of the female child's skeleton had been removedThose bones were mixed with the bones of the unidentified man 190 Fascinating as this story was, there were two others that interested me even more, especially when I thought of how I'd gone rooting through my daughter's purse I found them in an article called "They See with What's Missing," from The North American Journal of ParapsychologyIt chronicled the histories of two psychics, one a woman from Phoenix, the other a man from Río Gallegos, ArgentinaThe woman was missing her right hand; the man was missing his entire right armBoth had had several successes in helping the police find missing persons (perhaps failures as well, but these were not set out in the piece) According to the article, both amputee psychics used the same techniqueThey would be provided with a piece of the missing person's clothes, or a sample of his handwritingThey would shut their eyes and visualize touching the item with the missing hand (there was a huggermugger footnote here about something called the Hand of Glory, aka the Mojo Hand)The Phoenix woman would then "get an image," which she would relay to her interlocutorsThe Argentinian, however, followed 191 up his communings with brief, furious spates of automatic writing with his remaining hand, a process I saw as analogous to my paintings And, as I say, I might have doubted a few of the wilder anecdotes I ran across during my Internet explorations, but I never doubted something was happening to me (Comment on this)

10:06 am	@@@@@ Tomorrow would be just as hard as today I @@@@@ Tomorrow would be just as hard as today I looked at Jeb mournfully, and he was smiling in my directionThere was a smugness to his grin that made me believe he knew what I was thinking–not only did he guess my discomfort, but he was enjoying it He winked at me, my crazy friendI realized again that this was the best to be expected from human friendship “See you tomorrow, Wanda,” Ian called from across the room, and laughed to himself CHAPTER 24 Tolerated It was true that I did not smell good I'd lost count of how many days I'd spent here–was it more than a week now? more than two?–and all of them sweating into the same clothes I'd worn on my disastrous desert trekSo much salt had dried into my cotton shirt that it was creased into rigid accordion wrinklesIt used to be pale yellow; now it was a splotchy, diseased-looking print in the same dark purple color as the cave floorMy short hair was crunchy and gritty; I could feel it standing out in wild tangles around my head, with a stiff crest on top, like a cockatoo'sI hadn't seen my face recently, but I imagined it in two shades of purple: cave-dirt purple and healing-bruise purple So I could understand Jeb's point–yes, I needed a bathAnd a change of clothes as well, to make the bath worth the effortJeb offered me some of Jamie's clothes to wear while mine dried, but I didn't want to ruin Jamie's few things by stretching themThankfully, he didn't try to offer me anything of Jared'sI ended up with an old but clean flannel shirt of Jeb's that had the sleeves ripped off, and a pair of faded, holey cutoff sweatpants that had gone unclaimed for monthsThese were draped over my arm–and a bumpy mound of vile-smelling, loosely molded chunks that Jeb claimed was homemade cactus soap was in my hand–as I followed Jeb to the room with the two rivers Again we were not alone, and again I was miserably disappointed that this was the caseThree men and one woman–the salt-and-pepper braid–were filling buckets with water from the smaller streamA loud splashing and laughing echoed from the bathing room “We'll just wait our turn,” Jeb told me He leaned against the wallI stood stiffly beside him, uncomfortably conscious of the four pairs of eyes on me, though I kept my own on the dark hot spring rushing by underneath the porous floor After a short wait, three women exited the bathing room, their wet hair dripping down the backs of their shirts–the athletic caramel-skinned woman, a young blonde I didn't remember seeing before, and Melanie's cousin Sh (Comment on this)
