and the City folks left. The tourists here splashed thru puddles and some booked tours outa town…read the weather reports as it’s raining all over Guatemalo…we’ll see shortly how effective Alex Ferrar’s (Sobremesa)efforts work on the river bed but what the hell, a noble gesture, any way you look at it…as far as a Sunday night goes (or went)it didn’t appear that any restaurants were doin’ any significant biz…the three busiest places in town? Burger King, Frank’s Nim Pot and the Cathedral for Sunday mass: one might assume that those of the faithful who sowed their wild oats last night went to ask for crop failure.
some come, some go…Kate, bartenderess at Ocelot and Travel Menu, pulling the plug on Antigua altho she say she might return. Gold Finger, aka Jason Lever, returning from Magadan and a mining engr’s convention in InSane Diego, with a side trip for R&R to Mexico…Camilla returns from El Salvador tonight, the tasty Swedish pastry…Neil Craig of Pangea having a helluva day long birthday party.Piano Mike and the ever lovely Moriah doin’ their job, pulling in patrons for Caffe Bourbon.
Christa Schieber of Taka’lik Ab’aj jetting off to Paris to present a paper on the recend find of the jade necklace…’found in the same place except deeper by some 18 feet and 400 years where they found the jade masks earlier…there’ll be a piece of some of the Olmec heads having magnetic properties…’told her about it but…what buzzes me doesn’t always buzz the professionals, but i did share an old Anthropology joke she hadn’t heard…what does a Ph.D stand for in that field?…post hole digger…yeah,lame..inside joke, ok? I confessed to once having thought about that field but when I found out about the shovels, picks and low pay…oops, adios..only writing pays less, if you must know.
Shaun’s thinkin’ that he may have resurrected the old Sunday night crowd of hookers from the City…gawd, i hope so..if only to look at, given that i’m a dyed in the wool sexagenerian…Peter the G? where is/was Lucy Luscious last night? ‘had my hopes up(and that’s all)..great show, though and good to see that your efforts are getting some action…so..the Salty Beaver and tomorrow’s Bar Staff Appreciation Day? haven’t seen any ‘sign up’ sheets nor the usual Beav FaceHole announcements…is it on or off? Allen of Whiskey Den looking very ragged tonight..amazing, to me, at least, how that ‘hole in the wall’ place has become a destination, night after night. Mediterranean Cafe, next to Como Como? closed again..Cafe Flor, looking very tasty with the new color scheme? empty…Marcel of El Caz Italiano…do you have a death wish? riding the little hot bike to/from work, in the rain?
low to the ground and built for speed…just the way i like my women…
