Free Air is a collection of autobiographical stories from The Saturday Evening Post. The cover illustrated the tendency to illustrated cloth before the 1920's. Lewis was a relative unknown when this title was issued. Compare it to Ann Vickers.
I was surprised to see that Leni's former husband, John Sinclair, was there too. He lives in New Orleans now. Long trip for him. He was selling his book "Guitar Army: Street Writings/Prison Writings." John was a light in my youthful constellation of countercultural stars. Partly because he lived down the highway in Detroit, then Ann Arbor, during my time growing up as a sometime hippie in East Lansing, Michigan, but more particularly because of an unusual bond I felt for him. A bond formed by the fact that my stepfather was the director of the state corrections department during the time John was in prison. My stepfather told me once that he had a role in John's early release. I asked John about that today, and he thought I must be mistaken; that my stepfather might have signed some paper as a mere formality, but that he surely didn't have any interest in springing John early. I'm not sure who's right.
Haven't seen a Sinclair station with the quaint dinosaur logo for a lot of years around the east but they're still going strong out west I guess.

After miles of driving we finally reached civilization in the form of US Route 14, just east of Midland, South Dakota. The fate of this Sinclair gas station/cafe is typical of businesses struggling to survive miles away from Interstate 90.
