*************** Generally they don't bother me, but reading
Goodis's Cassidy's Girl, he talks about Cassidy going into
the bus station in the morning and checking the tires,
adjusting the carburetor, doing a tune-up, and then noticing
the springs are worn so he finds a set in the backroom and
changes them, then does the day's run. I had to laugh. It's
obvious that Goodis didn't have a clue what changing a set of
springs on a bus would require.
Jack Bludis has noted that when this breach of reality drags
you out of the story again and again, it threatens to call
the writer's skills into question. I buy that.
