- Viewing Log: Long Leaf Collective member shows off a miniature village she has constructed for a model railroad to a visiting Vietnamese computer scientist. Sound of footsteps. Shots of leafy ground and trees, all sideways. Corky asks the computer scientist if she'd like to sing a song. She says no. A collective member begins to sing a song from "The Sound of Music." Later the Vietnamese woman is wearing Vietnamese dress in Corky's living room. The two are alone. Corky: Now sing something. Vietnamese woman does. Then she grabs a wok-shaped bowl & dances with it as if it's a hat.
Storm blowing up. Ground. Water vista. Payne's Prairie maybe? Vietnamese computer scientist takes photos.
