Detritus

Boulder, CO to Ft. Collins, CO.
The tour is over, and I'm with my cousin Big Susie (I am Little Susie) on the 4th of July traveling to see our other cousin Renee Kuriyan.  Big Susie and I are the Gentiles in the car, and her husband Jordan represents the Jewish constituency.  On a stretch of highway whose sign implies that it's Nazi-owned, we make a list of the discards they'd least like to find when cleaning up:

stars of David, gefilte fishbones, challah bread crusts, chipped dreidels, stained blue yarmulke, day-old bagel, gilt coins, matzoh, Groucho Marx accessories, bottle of Manischevitz, Torah, an old foreskin (this was Big Susie's inclusion), bar mitvah receipts and regalia, shorn curls
