"CHARM OFFENSIVE" - PT01 - THE GANG IS BACK IN THE ABQ!!After a biblical stint of 36 days alone in the desert, Carol gave up and gave in. She painted a huge "come back" in the middle of the cul-de-sac. Within minutes, she was clutching Zosia in a tearful embrace. Jets are streaming through the sky towards the Sunport. All will be back to a hive mind level of normal in just a couple of hours. Carol isn't sure how to act around people. She mixes up some room temperature pink Lemonade and tries to make small talk about fine art and wild animals. She is nervous and tongue-tied but obviously relieved to be around people, even if they are weirdos. Zosia...and the hive...is just glad to be back with Carol. We're going to tour the hive mind's sleeping quarters and hike the mountains out around town. It's like if a first date were organized by a Reality TV dating show. We're also going to check in on Manousos. What happened to him after being extricated from the Darien Gap? We'll catch up with him in Panama. He made it through the gap!! He's a bit worse for wear...but he manages to nab himself an ambulance for the northern leg of his trip to New Mexico. Make sure you're subscribed in your favorite podcast player.
