One Blue Door - The Story of Dave Dripps' Torino

The year was 1988.  The sun was savage that year - a lot of windy clear days that could peel hair from your arms.  From Minnesota there arrived a man.  A young man, with a plan.  A young man's plan.

His name was David Dripps.  David T. Dripps.  Once I asked him what the "T" stood for, and he glanced at me with that feral wolverine look of his and said; "It stands for "The".  He had a job, this David Dripps - an important job by the look of it.  New cars were the trade; working for the Ford motor company as a corporate complaint manager.  Good pay, good benefits. 

But you see, this David Dripps fellow was a frugal man - fresh off the frozen tundra of Minnesota farmland.  He stunk of potatoes and fear.
