Groundhog Day

Kugarita Zinfandel has returned from her wanderings around South America, having picked up an obscure rainforest respiratory infection. Today she is visiting Felix Karlosoroff to give him some rare silk-screen prints of the Codex Magliabechiano, the 16th Century glossary of Aztec cosmological and religious elements. These depict the 20 tonalpohualli  day-names, the 18 monthly feasts, and the 52-year cycle. Felix’s other half, Frab Lotus, is a trained  Reikarial Therapist so offers Kugarita a quick course of treatment.  As Felix later drives her off for an emergency admission to the local thalassoclinic, he  notices in his reverse mirror that the car behind is a Porsche being driven by Ecna Lubma, the omnipresent writer of the encyclopedic volume ‘Reflections on Health’ .
