More with James Landress—he had hoped “To use it (the bomb) for junk.” “I heard him (his blown up friend) pecking on something and that’s when I thought the world had come to an end.” Short sequence with school bus and children playing at roadside. Interview with Abdul describes his gas station, being an immigrant, benefits of snow birds to Slab City, impending presence of prison. Audio and video are fine.
