ONE YEAR...
Today is March 16, 2006. One year ago today, Beth and Trish drove me to the shop and I met Mr. Carter for the first time. I had previously talked to him on the phone, but up until that point, he had never met me. As I walked up the driveway to the shop, he was pulling out onto Sepulveda. He stopped the car and rolled down the window...and said, "I bet I know who this is...Debbie..."
And that is how it all began...
Tomorrow is March 17, 2006. One year ago on that day, Mr. Carter said to Beth, "Listen, I told Clint that there are a bunch of pretty girls looking for him and he doesn't believe me. Clint said, 'yeah right...show me a picture of these girls...i won't believe it until i see it.' So, what you need to do is get a picture of Debbie and bring it down here to the shop. That way I can give it to Clint when he is here tomorrow afternoon. He said he would be going out of town for a little while so make sure to get that picture down here tomorrow so I can give it to him before he leaves."
So, I came home and she told me all of this and we decided that I would write him a letter and put it in the envelope with the picture. Little did I know at the time, that was the first of many letters I would write to Clint. Also, little did we know that was the last day that Mr. Carter would see Clint for a long time. Because Clint didn't come back to the shop that next day...
Saturday is March 18, 2006. One year ago on that day, Beth took my letter to the shop. And left it there for Clint. It is still sitting there...
Hopefully, someday he will be able to read it...
There is also a second letter out somewhere in the world, trusted into the hands of Mike, supposedly Clint's friend...that letter has been out travelling in the world now for two weeks. Carter has not heard from or seen Mike since he gave him the letter that morning...
There is a third letter also waiting at the shop to give to George, Clint's other friend, should he at some point wander down to the shop...
A tarot card reader told me the night before Mike got the letter that, in fact, someone would get the letter the following day (which did happen) and that we had three chances to get the letter to Clint...I assume that is the three letters...
Hopefully, there will be some movement soon...Mr. Carter told me that it is best to not think about it...because he believes that is when things begin to move more in the universe...so, he and I have decided not to think about it...and just maybe something will finally happen then...
One letter is on it's way...two are waiting for the right people to pick them up...
Updates will follow...

SONGS 66 and 67...
TIDAL WAVE
Love…love is a tidal wave…
Woke up tonight
From a dream outside of time
I get this sinking feeling
That I’m about to dive…
Fall from the sky
Dark clouds above the lightening
Blinding flash as a plummet
Pierce my heart
Pierce my eyes
Give me something I can hold onto
Give me something soft I can fall through
Give me something I can reach out to…
You…
*Chorus*
Pull me from the sea
Breathe life into me
Your breath is a tidal wave
Come, wash over me
Wash my heart clean
Your kiss is a tidal wave
Woke up today
In a room I’d never seen before
Don’t know how I got here
And I can’t remember why
Wander out of the house
Down to the shore
I see you kneeling by the seaside
Waiting for me to arrive
If I put one foot in the water
Will you show me how we both got here?
Will you show me what will come after
We die…???
*Chorus*
Pull me from the sea
Breathe life into me
Your breath is a tidal wave
Come, wash over me
Wash my heart clean
Your kiss is a tidal wave
I know…I know…the only way to go…
Let go…Let go…
Get carried away…
I know…you know…we know…
When…to let go…
Cause love is a tidal wave…
Love…love is a tidal wave…

SHE'S FOR REAL
You wonder what she wants with you
What could a girl like that see in you?
In all of the places you have gone…for pleasure
You never have stopped somewhere long enough to measure
What you’re worth…
She is the kind of girl all the guys watch
But you are the only guy she really wants
In all of the places you have dreamed or imagined
This was never in the cards or even mentioned
*Chorus*
You think it’s too good to be true
Cause you’ve seen deal after deal fall through
Down on yourself and your luck
But don’t give up…
Cause she’s for real
You wander from town to town always lost
But life on the road has such a high cost
You never have met someone who thought that you were special
Someone who looked into your eyes and saw the depth there
*Chorus*
You think it’s too good to be true
Cause you’ve seen deal after deal fall through
Down on yourself and your luck
But don’t give up…
Cause she’s for real
Take your fears and hold them down
Or you will never see the fortune you’ve found
Take your doubts and cast them to the wind
You’ll never know until you let that light in
Just what you’re worth…
Just what you’re worth…
What could she possibly want that’s yours?
She is like sunshine after a storm
In all of the places you have gone in any direction
You never have stopped long enough to make the connection
*Chorus*
You think it’s too good to be true
Cause you’ve seen deal after deal fall through
Down on yourself and your luck
But don’t give up…
Cause she’s for real

STILL NO NEWS...
i have bordered between hope and despair all week...
there has been no word down at the garage...one of mike's friends who used to be married to the black widow was at the shop earlier in the week to have some repairs done on his car, but he apparently met mike in jail and doesn't really know any of mike's other friends...
neither mike nor george have called or stopped by the shop all week...
george still needs to come to the shop at some point in the next week or so because Carter has the papers at the shop for him regarding the latest lien. these papers are available for george to pick up after the 14th when the lien finally goes through and carter takes possession of the car and signs it over to george...i have advised carter that once all of this happens, he should give the second letter (i left an identical letter to the one given to mike at the shop for george) to george when he passes off the papers...this way, there are multiple ways for the message to get to clint...the woman who read my tarot last week told me that we had three tries to get the message to him...I am assuming that the first one is the original letter i left at the shop, the second way is through mike, and the third way is through george...
hopefully, if we have not yet heard from clint by next week, george will bear the second letter...

ASK ME (ANYTHING)
My heart is held at ransom
All others held at bay
Wherever you should wander
My heart will go that
Way…I will…
Go your way…I will…
Forever I am captured
Forever I am caught
Wherever you should linger
Whatever rooms you
Haunt…whatever…
Rooms you haunt…whatever…
**Chorus**
Ask me, ask me…
I would do anything
Ask me, ask me…
Ask me, ask me…
I would do anything
You want…
No matter what it costs…
Just ask me, ask me
I would do anything…
My mind is set on repeat
One scene constantly plays
My hands are bound behind me
My feet are wrapped in
Chains…I am…
Wrapped in chains…I am…
**Chorus**
Ask me, ask me…
I would do anything
Ask me, ask me…
Ask me, ask me…
I would do anything
You want…
No matter what it costs…
Just ask me, ask me
I would do anything…
I’ve come to the point
Where I’d give anything
For some relief…
I drive myself mad
And I’d give anything
To get some sleep…
The days pass by slowly
One by one…no change
I lock myself in my room
Just trying to stay
Sane…I am…
Trying to stay sane…I am…
**Chorus**
Ask me, ask me…
I would do anything
Ask me, ask me…
Ask me, ask me…
I would do anything
You want…
No matter what it costs…
Just ask me, ask me
I would do anything…

CLINT UPDATE
There is still no word as to whether or not Clint has received the letter at this time. At this point, it has only been out of our possession for a little over 4 days (and two of those were weekend days when it would not have been possible for him to call Carter were he to wish to get more information regarding this situation from him before calling me).
I have this feeling that if the letter has not already been delivered to Clint at this time, it will be delivered to him sometime in the next week.
And at that point, hopefully, it is only a matter of short time before we receive some kind of word from him.
As Bonney Death says, "Any day could be the day."

SONG 64
STICKING WITH YOU
I needed answers so I made the rounds
Asking everybody all over town
Asking everyone for their advice
Shadow-boxing…can’t make up my mind
I need to cut this out…
My voice is all that counts…
I need to nail it down
Listen to my heart
This is what it tells me…
**Chorus**
I am sticking with you…wrong or right
I could deny it…but I’d lose that fight
I am sticking with you…could be wrong
Could be wrong…could be wrong…
I think its right…
That’s why I’m sticking with you
Which way to go? Which one to choose?
The dark horse or the ocean blue?
Trampled by stallions or drowning by sea?
I can’t decide the best death for me
I try to think it over…
Both drunk and when I’m sober…
One voice is growing bolder
Listen closely
This is what it tells me…
**Chorus**
I am sticking with you…wrong or right
I could deny it…but I’d lose that fight
I am sticking with you…could be wrong
Could be wrong…could be wrong…
I think its right…
That’s why I’m sticking with you
One way…leads to certain sick destruction
One way…leads to truth
I hope I make the right choice
I don’t know what to do…
But I, alone, have to choose…
One star shines brighter in my sky
It won’t burn out
And that is why…
**Chorus**
I am sticking with you…wrong or right
I could deny it…but I’d lose that fight
I am sticking with you…could be wrong
Could be wrong…could be wrong…
I think its right…
That’s why I’m sticking with you

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF www.findaclint.org
Friends:
I know it has been awhile since I have sent out a message to the members of our esteemed organization. I also know that much time has passed and there have been moments when I have wavered off my course. However, in my heart, I have always believed that the day would come when I would see Clint again.
Hopefully, that day is soon.
After many months of sitting patiently at Carter’s garage…waiting for Clint to come down to the garage himself and receive the letter that I left there for him…watching Clint’s friends come and go...people that we know have contact with him…after watching Carter tell them countless times to have Clint come down to the shop to pick up papers regarding a new car deal…after many months of all of this and still nothing, I became very frustrated. However, I was not about to give up because the tragedy still would be that Clint never had the chance to know that any of this was even going on…
We don’t know the circumstances of Clint’s life right now. The other boys have jobs now…there is talk that Clint may as well…if that is the case, he may never return to the garage if he is no longer doing that type of work…so, I decided…if he won’t come to the garage to get the letter…we’ll have one taken to him. Carter was always hesitant to remove the letter from the shop because he didn’t trust something so important in the hands of anyone other than Clint. However, (and I don’t know why we didn’t think of this before), there is no reason that there could not be multiple letters. And so on February 14th, I made my decision and I brought a second letter to Carter’s…this one to be given to one of Clint’s friends the next time one of them was at the shop…in the guise of a personal letter that Carter needed to get to Clint…
Then we waited…and waited…and I became frustrated because after that second letter was dropped off…George would call Carter every day telling him he was coming down…but he never showed up…
And then today, which will go down as one of the three biggest days in the history of www.findaclint.org up until this point (the other two being the actual meeting of Clint as well as the day we found Carter’s Auto after making hundreds of phone calls to area mechanics)…Mike showed up…
Not only is Mike the ringleader of the group…Carter believes that Mike, of all of the boys, is the one that knows Clint best…and in fact, I remember the first day I ever talked to Carter back in January of last year…he said, “oh yeah, I know Clint…Mike’s friend…” According to Carter, this is like if you were trying to locate me and you were somehow able to pass a letter off to Beth…
So, Mike arrived at the shop at 10am this morning to pick up some paperwork Carter had for him…and that is when the letter was passed off…Carter told Mike to pass it off to Clint as soon as he could and to have Clint call Carter when he received it so at least we would have confirmation when the letter was actually delivered to the correct person…currently it is en route…we don’t know how long it will take to reach its destination…he could be taking it there as we speak…he may even live with Clint…or he may not see him as often anymore and it might take him a little longer to get the letter to him…but the point is, the letter is en route…and this is the biggest advancement as far as getting news to Clint that we have really ever had…
I hope that this is the turn around point…and I hope that we receive news soon…
Today is an exciting day for www.findaclint.org
Updates will follow…
Find Clint. Find Peace.
Sincerely,
Debbie Little
