One lumber-jack (Craig Hanson) eats himself to death; another (Kirk Bangstad '99) is killed in a boxing match, and all of the men of the city push and shove for a short trip through the whorehouse.

...life had not been easy. Jess Galindo had been a busy trucker, carting rocket fuel from Gilroy, California, to Carson City, Nevada. When both his younger children pleaded for skating lessons, he provided them--and settled for a mobile home.
