THE STORY OF DEL - Delete
And at long last, it would be great to have another American saint. Of the 10,000 saints venerated in the Roman Catholic Church, fewer than a dozen were from the United States.
For as there was not enough snow in Jamaica to favor sledding champions, in America there was way too much adoration of filthy lucre - 'the devil's dung' - to foster sainthood.
Hell, in the USA even local cafes and pizzerias were quoted on the stock market and generated bigger revenues than the GNPs of most 3rd world countries.
In any case... If the identity of this eventual benefactor and future saint was still a question mark, his demonic counterpart had a name and a rap sheet as thick as an encyclopedia:
the driver of the offending Toyota, a certain Hilario Baltazar, had stolen the vehicle and at the time of the accident had been even more wasted on drugs than Del. Pulled out of the wreck more shaken than battered, no doubt thanks to the simultaneous inflation of twenty airbags, he was promptly arrested and - for the fifth time - released without bail, with his trial scheduled for whenever he decided to come back from Quetzaltenango, a hidden city in the hidden western highlands of spectacularly beautiful Guatemala.
