Letters from Kentucky, section 4

Section 4 sheds some light on author J.D. Daniels' childhood. He writes about a repair shop that he'd worked in on two different occasions- once as a summer job, when his father had warned him that this job as a repair shop attendant could be his future if he didn't "fly straight". The second was when Daniels inevitably didn't fly straight and ended up dropping out of college. He reminisces about the different branded trailers that came in, and the way his coworkers would fool around. He concludes this section by remembering his reading of The Faerie Queene- an old English epic about virtues, and his musings of one day jumping off the Second Street Bridge.
