And here's Sonia, the Belle of Western Australia, in amongst the
lockers on the dinner truck. It was a law of physics that
Sonia and I were always trying to get into our lockers, which were
across from each other, at the same time, but she was always very
pleasant about it, and said nothing when a heap of firearms,
condoms, cocaine, missile parts, and illegal immigrants spilled
out of my locker one day.
It was also a law of physics that, no matter how much stuff you
possessed, it wouldn't fit in your locker. You could bring
exactly one toothpick and nothing else, or a full-scale duplicate
of Angkor Wat, and in either case your locker would be filled to
the brim. Some of us got more exercise closing our lockers
than we did pedaling.
