It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember
(D.M. Procida) saying
something like:

It's a perfectly good heavy frying-pan, except the non-stick surface has
worn away and it's a nuisance to cook with, but it seems very wasteful
simply to get rid of it. Is it worth doing anything else with it?

Use it as an elephant-scarer.
