The summer of 1975 I’d just graduated from college in Southern California and received a Ford Car for a   36   present. I had my first job, in Los Angeles. One Sunday night, thinking myself a very   37   gown-up, I   38   my uncle’s place in South Laguna after a visit,   39 admitting to him that I had less than an eighth of a tank of gas and no   40   to buy more on the way to L.A.
