This episode is the third and final part of a serialized story. If you start here, it won’t make much sense.

Join me along with my cohort – Lex Looser, Lariat Oxnard, K-Slax, Snozz Shagwong and Louderman – in device addiction recovery at the Mojave Wellness Clinic under the watchful eye of Antonioni Blanderziltch and the caring support of Rutledge Smoothitem. Names have of course been changed to protect people’s privacy.
