You can't close the the eyes of dead people. A medic explained the mechanics of that to me in Beirut. I still had to try that with my mother when she died in hospice in 2014. They open right back up. I pulled the covers over her after taking pics.

Yeah, I know that's gruesome. I needed to document the event. My former girlfriend Marla was with me.

There's no 'dustoff' for McMurphy at Hospital City, probably just a meat wagon to the county morgue or to whatever mortuary.

We don't talk much in the little time we're together.

I don't know/remember what happened to the casualties from Beirut '83. Maybe they went to Israel or something. I don't remember.

That sounded like Henry Fonda narrating that film.
