   Too much story in one sentence

   We keep our scanner tuned to the frequency used by Kosciusko Area Bus   
   System because they report on road conditions and train delays.   
      
   One day I heard the KABS dispatcher say "Metro Four, Dialysis just   
   called.  They took Melanie to Fort Wayne again."   
      
   Metro Four, I presume, had been scheduled to pick up Melanie at   
   Dialysis.   
      
   Fort Wayne is where we take patients the local hospitals can't handle.   
      
   All names were changed because of sieve-like memory.   
      
   My eyes are stinging and I can't even remember her name.   
      
   That reminds me of how Bujold managed to pack about three novels of   
   emotion into "Which son?"
