so..umbrella #4 of the season has given up the ghost..actually the fragile ribs of the 25q model…fine..exciting, eh?
via a long time Antigueno-gringo i heard that he was accosted, approached or asked politely if he might be interested in a couple of sweet young things seen outside of Bodegona last night…afternoon…when asked if he liked them, he said that he liked them both…a good answer…there was one price for the older, a lesser price for the younger and a bonus price for both..outside Bodegona? naturally, seeking the truth of this or at least a glimpse of temptation, i hied myself off to Bodegona about 5ish…nope…i even showered, and had on fresh clothes…double no…’wasn’t a total loss, as the el cheapo brand of scotch, Highland Worrier, fit nicely in the bolsa…
will the Night of the Knives ever go away? La Cuadra has a version, the British Embassy and the US Embassy has one, the online paper www.plazapublica.com.gt has one, Luke’s CNN article has his take and so on…after going to two days of meetings at INGUAT with Da Mayor, the cops and all…I’m still shaking my head about it all…one thing fer sure, dude…they ain’t caught the perps and the bloodstains on 2nd calle are still faintly visible, a month later…my personal take on it? the guys in the pickups, with the ‘stolen plates’? gang initiation…Mara’s…MS-13, those sweethearts in the city…and another question…for the second time in La Cuadra’s bi-monthly publication cycle, back inside page, is yet another ad for the ‘Antigua Shooting Range’…even for and by Guatemala standards of ‘manana time’ this is lame..if you’re not open, ready for business and so on, etc…unless the ad is free and no one else wants that page..hmm…find the older lady with the two tasty tarts outside of Bodegona and get the phones ringin’..can you say ‘revenue?’Hey! inspiration!…Peter the G…track ’em down and add ’em to the Lucy Luscious Show, as extras..dump the hostel idea…season’s over anyway…ran into Peter the H briefly at Ocelot…waiting out the rain..rotsa ruck..
heard a new word today..a guatemalan word for ‘pain in the ass’…shuco…always amazed at the difference in words in central america, por ejemplo in Costa Rica, hueco refers to the pot holes in the streets..here? faggot..ran into the very tasty Claudia #1 at O-lot briefly, having something at Ixcot with a lady friend…thence off to DV, I s’pose..no takers on her vacant rental property, the ex-Rum Bar…why? the market is hosed, the rental price too high…o, and the location sucks..why are there still two rental spaces available between the guitar shop and un Poco de Todos, across from the park?
one would think, one would..assuming that thinking is required, that someone would snap those spaces up…traffic, exposure, cha cha…pass the scotch…i give up..
