More with Arkie in comparing snowbirds & slabbers, “nasty winter down here,” and his taste for whiskey and attitude towards neighbors - "If my neighbors don’t like it, there’s more room down the road.” Interior of Arkie’s home area, his camper, is seen with plywood panels, milk cartons, blankets. Also, exterior shots of his work area bicycle repairs, work bench and tools. (As on previous tape, Arkie has a good presence on camera and enjoys talking about his life). Last several minutes are with woman named Montana and little girl ambling about at swap meet row.
