264 deadtime

sam wasn't done with his designb critique ," place is kind of modern for my taste . but that's better than girly . nice TV  , big flat screen covers a lot of sins . bet they don't teach that in decorator school . maybe they should . is that plasma or  LCD  ? you know ? in case you hadn't noticed , there's only one bed here ."
i sipped the beer , wondering when sam's cafferien overdose would wear off ," the bed's yours , sam ."
"i wouldn't want to sleep in sherry's bed either ." he shivered . i couldn't tell whether the shiver was real or a dramatization . sherry was sam's ex. either way, it was clear he understood the whole ex-wife pheromone thing .
he said ," that was ranger ramona who called me  earlier , just  before i stopped for the patty melt ."
"yeah ? just staying in touch ? women love you , sam . that cop ay the duplex ? she was all over you .i admit i don't get it . just for record ."
he drove over my opinioon as though it were an incosequential speed bump . he said ," i'd asked ramona to check a few things for me . the park service keeps a log of who goes down what trail in the grand canyon when . so the rangers know if someone's overdue . missi g . whatever . what suppliers they have with em , like that ."
i wasn't surprised by what sam was saying , the forest service used the same voluntary procedure to track hikers in colorado 's mountain parks and natinal forests , but sam didn't have my full attention parks and national forests . but sam didn't have my full attention . i remained preoccupied with what had happened in mt , washington . i was increasingly worried that i hadn't heard back from amy and mel . i'd called them again while on he way back to the condo .
sam didn't notice my distraction ." specifically , i'd asked ramona to check the logs for thedays before jaana's hiking boots were found and for a while before tjhat sneaker showed up downriver .i had  theory that the nick guy from vegas , jaana 's companion , mighthavegone back down to cover hidtracks somehow when he realized the shoes were a probvlem."
