The bus accident. Memory is tied to smell. GK is terrified of the smell of chalk dust. Chlorine reminds him of swimming lessons at the Y. The Orpheum smell reminds him of his first movie. Cornfield smells reminds GK of a Greyhound bus accident. It went into the ditch and nearly tipped over. The station wagon was in the ditch and there were the bodies of two dead women and a dead man in the car. There was one survivor. GK helped to direct traffic. Another bus picked up the passengers. GK picked up his car and drove home. He had to talk to someone. e called a girl at two o'clock in the morning. She told him to go to bed. He couldn't sleep. It only got a small write up in the morning paper. He went to college the next day and he wanted to tell somebody, anybody, about the accident. A week later he wrote a 12-page essay about the accident. Half a year later, GK drove his dad's station wagon into the ditch on an icy road. He missed a telephone pole by 3 inches. GK never told anybody about this experience. He is grateful that he did not die. Drive carefully.
Losing the election gracefully.
