Jerry walked to the corner store, a baseball cap and sunglasses shielding him from the heat beating down from above. He picked up a copy of the Calgary Sun, walked to the counter, gave the old man a loon, got his change, and hurried outside. He didn't want to wait until he got home, so he went to the nearest bus stop, parked himself on the bench there, and opened the paper.
Of course, the first thing he checked out was the bikini-clad Sunshine Girl--what sixteen-year-old boy wouldn't turn to that first? Today's girl was old--23, it said--but she certainly was pretty, with lots of long blond hair.
That ritual completed, Jerry turned to the real reason he'd bought the paper: the classified ads. He found the used-car listings, and started poring over them, hoping, as he always did, for a bargain.
Jerry had worked hard all summer on a loading dock. It had been rough work, but, for the first time in his life, he had real muscles. And, even more important, for the first time in his life, he had some real money.
