UNFINISHED DOCUMENTARY, KINGDOMS OF THE RADIO | 1995
You know, when I talked Charlie into helping me demo the hot springs resort, I wasn’t planning on hanging around his scene at all. I had plenty of… let’s say, other opportunities, spread throughout the county. It was on the last day of the big push to move salvage to the old ranch and I had dropped an enameled cast iron sink on my foot. I was literally hopping mad, letting every curse word I picked up in the Army just fly. Not exactly the good vibes the group was looking for, but fuck it. That shit hurt.
There I was, doing my wounded Tasmanian Devil routine, when up walks the sexiest chick I had ever seen. Long, blonde hair, built like a brick shit house. She says her name is Ronda and she is actually a nurse. I mean, what the hell is a hot nurse doing playing pioneer with Charlie and his crew in the woods? Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad she was!
Ronda quickly diagnosed me with a broken toe and buddy-taped it to keep it stable. Charlie had a cooler full of beer and half-melted ice in the bird and she had me stick my foot in it (after taking out the beers, of course). That hurt like a motherfucker, but her bedside manner soon had me forgetting all about it.
You never know with medics. Are they being nice because it’s their job? Are they just trying to distract you from how badly you fucked yourself up? I was definitely picking up on a vibe, and soon, I just sort of forgot to go home.
As far as I remember, we never did use that goddamned sink for anything.
