M.E. I don't know who she was. He told me her name but her name is peculiar and I [[strikethrough]] can't [[/strikethrough]] couldn't think of those things. But anyhow she's a photographer for Time Magazine, in New York.

Some kind of a vision, funny [[strikethrough]] dream [[/strikethrough]] things, I can't express it and I can't see would take the advantage of me or something other and I would lay down after I would get through try to cook breakfast or something for my babies but I was laying down all day nearly bout.
