'''Doc was home watching division semifinals between the 76ers and Milwaukee'''<br>
Finally, Pynchon has given a clue that helps to locate the narrative in real time, and again it's the NBA playoffs. The Eastern Division Semifinals took place on Wednesday, March 25, Friday, March 27, Monday, March 30, Wednesday, April 1 and Friday, April 3, 1970. That makes this day Monday, March 30. In order for that to be true, the "few days" that the Dart is in the shop (p. 180) must be more like a few weeks.<br>
Given the regret that Doc felt over a less-than-24-hour delay in the first and second days of the narrative, it's difficult that he would drop the case for that long. The only logical conclusion is that the story is in some kind of ''Dark Shadows''-like parallel time for the first half of the book.<br>
