The '67 Ford Falcon,

on a rainy,

new section of

ash fault

at 60 miles an hour,

hydroplaned,

rolled

along the top

of a guard rail

on the north side of the

highway (across from the Fuji film warehouse),

and stopped back on it' wheels.

It did not burst into flames.

But the watch that was given

by Ed's best friend in Winnipeg,

Steve George

on the occasion of Ed being

the best man

at his wedding,

lost it's battery,

mid air,

while the car was

upside down,

rolling along the guard rail.

The watch, forever stopped at 4:30:17 am.
