one room. I hobbled down to Bentley's for a meal then showered even though
the doctor told me not to get the wound wet. I recked with filth and needed
a shower. I then sacked out and only vaguely heard Larry calling packing
houses for excelsior. He woke me around 1500 and we went out to rent a car
me hobbling along behind Larry. He found one had to be 25 years old to rent
a car. On the way back, I stopped off at a Medical Building to have my

fected yet. He put on a new bandage, told me to come back Monday and
charged me $5. I returned to the hotel and spent the rest of the afternoon
writing my journal. I bought some cereal and milk for breakfast for the
next few days, ate some supper, and continued writing my journal. We bulled
for a while, then I finally decided to read Evolution of the Vertebrates,
by Edwin Colbert, but I fell asleep soon. I vaguely heard Warren and Cameron
come in from the Hawaii. I woke up soon after they went to bed, talked to
them a little then hit the sack again.
8 August, 1964: We all woke up late. Warren, Cam and Dayle went out to
rent a car then went on out to Ala Moana shopping center for most of the
morning. I wasted the entire morning sitting and doing nothing, oh except -

returned Warren, Cam, and I drove out to Ely's to spend the afternoon. Cam
was telling us all kinds of very exciting examples of commercialism in
nature, which intrigued both Warren and me. We stopped at a luncheonette
in a bowling alley and discussed conservation measures, especially here in
Hawaii. Out at Ely's we all got some paper work done but not very deligently.
Warren was preparing a report of hisKuai trip, Cam was making final packing
