You take certain things with you into the future. You can surely decide which things they are. In order to save a memory, you first have to notice it.

Here I am sitting on the balcony of a hotel in Cabo San Lucas. I woke up before the sun has risen, and I'm waiting for it to come up, so I can take a good picture to post on the cellar.

Now it's 1989, and I've taken a friend to Temple University, where she will be going to college..... It's January, and we're in a stairwell, and there is a door with one of those high mounted, small square windows in it. There's a bit of grey paint on the glass, and someone has scratched the word 'illusions' into it.

I'm in the back of a furniture delivery truck at dusk, and I look out and see the sun setting over an empty field. the sky is pink fading to orange. It's October, and I can FEEL the Autumn.


Flint gets it.
